Venezia Restaurant is named for one of Europe’s most romantic and beautiful cities, Venice. Embracing the Italian pronunciation “ve-net-zee-a,” only seems to enhance the ambiance and diversity of this family-owned Italian/Continental restaurant.

Voted every year Most Romantic Restaurant in the Best of Midland survey.

Located in a sequestered spot near the southeast corner of the intersection of Wadley Avenue and Garfield Street, this building was originally built as a landscaping and plant nursery in 1959.

The octagonal-roofed Atrium room houses an inside fountain and plant menagerie under architectural columns. We can offer patrons intimate dining or business entertaining by an Italian fireplace, a bistro style setting, or outside on an oak tree shaded patio seating.
