Venezia Italian Bistro - North Pekin

Every dish that our party ordered was perfectly prepared and portions are more than sufficient. The bread should die. We are coming back frequently!

Enjoyed superb chicken marsala! The atmosphere and wait staff were excellent! I highly recommend this wonderful place!

Just opened recently. We visited for lunch. I had the eggplant parmesan. It was good, eggplant is not crispy. Sauce was sweeter than I expected but tasteful. Baked ziti and calzone was very good. Calamari was breaded nicely and good flavor, but on the chewy side. Service was great. Homemade rolls were excellent. Not too garlicky. Lunch portions are the same size as dinner and cheaper.

The service at Essen was outstanding. We brought our grandchildren, and they had a great children's menu. We tried a bit of pizza, spaghetti, and Stromboli, and everything was delicious. I really hope more people come out to support them.

Venezia Italian Bistro is truly exceptional! The food is both innovative and delicious. The service is outstanding, making you feel like part of the family. Unlike other Italian restaurants that claim "when you're here, you're family" (a lovely slogan, but often not genuine), Venezia truly embodies that warmth and hospitality. If you're looking for authentic Italian cuisine made from fresh, high-quality ingredients, make the trip to Pekin and visit Venezia. I promise you won't be disappointed. It's my favorite Italian restaurant by far!
