Venice House in Prince Albert

Good reviews made me eat here. Bar and restaurant atmosphere is soft with sufficient lighting. Feels very artsy with many leather-bound books and trophies. If you are lucky enough you might get a private booth with a more intimate dining experience. Ate the French onion soup shrimp scampi and lamb souvlaki. Excellent fresh ingredients and well prepared. Wait staff attentive and friendly, and overall quick. Table photo was Jose Costa y Bonells called Pepito. A young child playing with his horse reminds you of a simpler time, when your imagination took you farther in the world. Parking: Duel parking lot divided by the restaurant itself front and rear parking. Sufficient space.

Best bang for your buck

Was there for a business lunch on Wed. Fantastic ribs and Caesar salad special plus super fast service!

Always good food. restaurant has not been updated for years

About 3 weeks ago a party of 4 ordered takeout and about 6pm on that sunday after work I picked it up. The bill for this order was $175 The forood was terrible and we all complained. The ribs where undercooked and a very low quality cut of meat. The next day I called to complain, but I wasnt expecting anything maybe just to vent and make them aware, I asked to speak to a manager no one available. Took my information but never heard from them. Will never spend my money at this place again!

This review still shows 5 stars, it s too late. *NOT FIVE STAR* The second time there not so good, expected more like during my first review. 3 of us went in I ordered French onion soup and seniors lasagna. The other people ordered full lasagna and the other a burger. The lasagna was bland and the French onion soup was never sent to our table. The burger was just edible. Went in for late lunch, not too busy. Quick attentive service, the food came out quickly and was great. I had 1/2 rack of ribs and my wife had fish n chips, both were very good. Next time we will try the dinner menu as we want to order the calamari.

Jaylene was a star. I was tired and lazy so I asked her for her to go meal. Dry ribs and Caesar was her answer. It was so good I stopped short of finishing hoping dessert would be as good. Again I left the decision to Jaylene and it was better than dinner. New York Cheesecake with what had to be home made strawberry jam. It reminded me of my late mom s strawberry jam . Jaylene and Venice House came through for a hungry and tired traveler, thanks.

Loved going here to eat, however today July 11 2024 was not so great. I asked for my meat to be cooked a little longer, I didn t want to hold up my husband and daughter, plus wasn t feeling very great and just cancelled my order. The older waitresses then gossiped and laughed loudly for cancelling my order and we could all hear them. I mentioned that we loved going to Venice House whenever we were in the city and that experience was very unprofessional and upsetting. Won t be going here ever again.

Excellent service. Excellent food. Relaxed, cozy atmosphere. The place hasn t changed in decades. We try different restaurants every month and VH has been one that has not disappointed.

The steak is a joke,so small,so thin,so dry and so expensive,48$ not included taxes and tips,feel like I was robbed and duped,I will never go to this place again!

Fettuccine Alfredo

Generous portions, delicious food!

Great food, fun atmosphere, prices are competitive. Would highly recommend.

Even though we got there late close to closing time it was a very good experience food was served pretty quickly our server tried her best to keep us comfortable and the atmosphere was just very relaxing so I would definitely recommend.

Great food at reasonable prices

Excellent food and service as always.

Nice place with good service and good food.

Sat for 20 minutes before the waiter came along. The food was not as good as usual. The whole experience was not good. The tip I gave was not deserved.

Very good food and service

The inside of the restaurant hasnt changed much over the years but is well kept up

Always great here at the Venice House in Prince Albert!

Food and service impeccable Kid-friendliness: Super awesome with 8 kids in our party Food : 5/5 |

The absolute best Greek riblets

Great meal, we had the VH burger, the mozza burger and the chicken burger all was on toasted buns fresh lettuce and tomatoes are sever kept the drinks and napkins coming awesome restaurant great job to all

Love their food.

The food was great and we did not wait very long, honestly the best fries I ever tasted. The one waitress Katie remembered my sons name when he made an order and that really made his day! I like this place and it s our go to option when we re eating out.

Ate here feb9/23 table #6 11:48. Had the chicken a la qreque. ($16)Crispy coated Fries were good. And salad. But very small chicken portion. Little smaller than a deck of cards sz. Our table of 3, had 3 non alcoholic drinks totalling 13.30(4.50$/drink) Thats a bit much.! Cant imagine what the alcohol price would have been. Chicken frazolaki was 25$! Its just a sub people not a steak. Mediocre meals.81.03$ for 3 people-dinner.. Expensive expensive expensive. Wont be dining here soon. Waiter was great. Jeanne

I have been going to Venice House for years. The food is the best and the service cant be beat. I guess thats why I keep going back. I highly recommend this restaurant.

We had the pork chops, dry rib special with Cesar salad and the lasagna. They were all tasty and filling. Our server was friendly and the food was delivered warm and quickly.

I m not sure why I haven t been here before today after living in Prince Albert for two years! Elizabeth was so helpful regarding their gluten-free options. Katie has such a kind heart and passion for their family owned business. I had a Mediterranean pizza, recommended by Elizabeth on a gluten-free crust and cannot say enough about how delicious it was. A five star experience from the time we walked in the door until we left.

Yummy in my tummy

Loved being home for a weekend

Order Greek ribs. Ribs were dry and portions were small with very little meat, fries were soggy and galic toast was very dry. Cesar salad did not come with any dressing.

Good Pizza

Ive been coming here for a few years now.Really good atmosphere and freindly staff and top notch chefs.I would recommend to anyone.I always come here when im passing through prince Albert.

I swear the best ceaser salad Ive tasted so far....

Cookers are slow

Such great greek food. Seems rare to get such great greek food like this. Definitely a hidden gem. Service was fantastic as well. Fantastic retro atmosphere, yet really clean.

Ribs was dry n kinda Raw! Pizza was terrible..usally good food but not this time??

I orders a lasagna for 2 with 5 meatballs added, for pick up. Got there and a single was waiting for $56. He said you added meat balls. They must be god leaf meat balls. $56 fricken dollars for 1 lasagna. Never again!!!

They changed the portions sizes of the lasagna, a large is now a small. They put it inside the tiniest round containers, and they no longer use the rectangular ones.

Food is good,service also. It is a bit dark.

Was good but mediterranean lag was burnt. I ate it because I was hungry.

Today Greek Ribs and Fries arent the same taste like a few years ago were the best tastes

Great pizza at this place. And friendly service as well.

Good friendly service amazing food

Good dry ribs and beef dip.

Its always so good. Went for my birthday with the family, and I had the special. It was the Greek ribs. Friendly staff. Will always go back. Food

Nice

Always excellent food and service.

Great eats. Good food.

They lost our reservation and made 0 attempt to accommodate us. Update: Went back 2 yrs later. Nice server and decent food. Atmosphere is a little dark and dates but still nice. Parking: One small parking lot in the front and a large one in the back

Hefty pizza, proper toppings with lots of cheese and a savoury sauce, and its not greasy. Excellence can be achieved with a delicate crispy crust.

We come here all the time because this is my daughters favorite restaurant in Prince Albert. Today was the worst service ever. Dani was the servers name. Dani did not check on us not even once. I looked around and it was not busy at all. We arrived after the rush 1:20pm; it was not busy. We were not checked on once. Had no water or drinks to wash down our food. Dani was rude when my daughter asked for a plastic fork (for her teeth). Dani even had the nerve to throw the to go box on the table at my daughter. My daughter said she wants to get angry at me. My 7 year old shouldnt have felt that especially at her favorite restaurant. Me and my family come here monthly. If I go back I DO NOT want her to serve me and my family again.

Wife and I been going there since we started dating 35 years ago still great place to go thank you

Didnt even give us our food.. just drinks and plates. Didnt even look that busy either. Bad service

It was better food this time them the last time .

The food was great with friendly service

Great service, food was decent.

Always a great place too eat.

Had the Venice House special pizza today for lunch and it was one of the BEST pizzas that Ive had in years! Highly recommend! The crust was just that perfect crunchiness and the toppings were fresh. The sauce was delicious! And our server, Sherry whom Im told has worked their on and off throughout the past 25-30yrs was fantastic! Will definitely be back!

Restaurant adds an automatic 21$ tip for pick up or delivery. Which is wrong. I wouldnt recommend this place.

Was once our families favorite restaurant, but due to the food quality going down, portion sizes, and prices, we definitely will not be back. My husband ordered a Toro, which was once his absolute favorite sandwhich, he took two bites out of it and said it was disgusting. For 2 kids meals, a Toro and chicken fingers from the lunch menu the bill was $75.

Not good .

The place was full when we got there but got lucky that a table opened up right away. Our waitress was kind and explained that food would be a bit of a wait due to a couple of large groups in other sections of the restaurant. She got our drinks right away, and we werent in a big rush, so worked out fine. Our meals arrived and tasted delicious. Very impressed and will definitely go back again when visiting Prince Albert. Parking: Small, free parking lot, but again, we got lucky and got a spot as someone else was leaving. There is street parking available.

Great food you dont leave hungry

Good food and good waitresses

Well after the problem I got with one of your waitress yesterday I will never spend another cent at your restaurant. The parking beside the firehall had 2 car and I was going to the doctor so I figure since you guys werent open Ill park there. Well one of your waitress told me she will call the towing company to tow me out of there. Just so you know we spend hundreds of dollar a year there. Just to park there for 30 min when you guys arent even open and be threatened of getting tow. Well Montana or MrMike have rib or steaks. Will go there instead

Best restaurant in Prince Albert. I have been going there since I was a child. If you are in Prince Albert its a must that you stop in to eat. Great work venice house.

slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow,slow

Good food each time. Serve could be better .. just saying

Born and raised in Prince Albert I ve eaten at VH for as long as I remember and was always one of the best restaurants in PA. However, in the past couple years I ve seen the quality and portions change for the worse. I almost always order the Greek riblets meal. This has always come with salad, a choice of side, garlic bread and veggies in a cream sauce. Tonight we ordered for NYE and found they no longer provide the veggies and the salad hardly had any salad dressing on it ( and a lot of the lettuce was chunks of the lettuce core). If we hadn t been given a gift certificate we would not have ordered from here. It s too bad to see the quality go downhill. I attached pics of our meals minus the veggies.

Love the Greek ribs and dry ribs!

Service was great but the foods were not so good, slowly made.

Well first few times I ordered was a great experience. This Last time ordered the same thing as always and received a smaller amount for the same price. May be the last time I order from here again.

Took 2 hours to deliver and hair in my lasagna

Quaint authentic decor with tasty pizza.

Ordered the beef frajolaki with lemon potatoes and garden salad. It was very dissapointing and I ended up throwing most of it out. Quality of ingredients and taste were very poor. They still make great pizza, but i won t be ordering anything else off the menu any time soon.

It was amazing...sat with my girl and had a delicious supper.

Just peer awesome. Staff friendly. Awesome food suggestions and my son loved the Dino nuggets

Beautiful wood paneling throughout, but the food was not top notch. I ordered a $14 Greek salad that only had TWO olives. I mentioned this to the waitress, and she reluctantly brought me only TWO more ?!?? The Greek ribs were dry, meatless, and tasteless.

Best pizza I have had in a very long time! Ordered again the second day night and had an excellent chicken and beef burgers. Wife loved the poutine. Delivery times were quick - thanks for the fine dining folks

Good traditional service - never had a bad meal there yet.

Really good pizza. Everything else is decent.

Good food gets me happy belly!

Comfortable atmosphere, good service. Ordered lasagna and no complaints

I wasnt there

Amazing meal!

The food was good but we had too wait an hour and a half to eat

A PA staple that remains consistently good over the years!!!

Had a gluten-free pizza after a lot of discussion about toppings. Wait staff did a good job working with kitchen staff to keep my meal safe for a celiac.

Disappointing, usually a favorite, havent been out for a while, there was only 2 tables in total at the time we were there, and the waitress got my order wrong, out of two orders in total, omg, sorry, maybe better next time??

This place has been a staple restaurant for around 40years in Prince Albert. But not much has been updated since it opened... Guys its time to update and modernize!

the baked lasagna and shirley temples here always slap

Ive been going here since I was 14 yesterday old. I am 99 yrs old now. I still see a couple of ladies that had been there since. I love this place and Prince Albert isnt the same without it.

Calamari was over cooked n my veal tasted rotten. But that was the only time Ive been there n the food wasnt good other then that its a great restaurant.

I was very pleased with my experience. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by one of the friendly waitresses, who led me to where the people I was meeting for supper were sitting. I ordered the special which was Greek riblets. My favorite, just to mention. The service was excellent. Our order only took 20 minutes roughly from the time it was placed to when it was in front of me. Overall, I highly recommend Venice house if you want a clean, quiet, kid friendly restaurant to eat at. Also would make a great place to meet your colleagues from work for a get together or to have a meeting. The atmosphere and decor is beautiful as well.

Food was cold very cold waitted an hour for it as well. Idk if its us in general or the way we dressed but ya lost me n my wifes business. Train your waitresses better

My kids though thier chicken fingers were disgusting. Tasted like theybwere double dipped in grease. This place is ran by trashy people with disgusting food. Dont bring your kids here

Very rude, disrespectful people. Food was disgusting. Had to wait 49 minutes before they would serve us. My husband thought the food was disgusting and hes not the one to complain. This place is a dumb. Do not take your family here, they will treat you like dirt and serve your family food that tastes like old grease. Disgusting. Dirty place.

The servers were very disrespectful towards me and my husband and our grandkids. This establishment is dirty, unkempt, the workers smell bad. They have no concept of person space. The harassed our family at the table and when the food was served we could hardly eat. The food is inedible. I dont know what happened to thi bplace. I used to think it was worth the drive but I can see now that they have fallen far from what a good restaurant is supposed to be. My family wont be spending our money at this disgrace any longer.

Ate here during Covid in Jan 2021. There had been a few bad reviews on here and Google, mostly by single reviewers who were people complaining about the way they were treated. I come for the food. I m a top reviewer on Trip Advisor and a google local guide, grew up in P.A. eating here for two decades but live in Saskatoon now. The food is just as it was in the 70s-90s. The interior is still the same, the menus a bit smaller, prices haven t changed much but portions are still good. Seemed a bit dated inside, but was clean enough to pass my standards. Our service was reasonable but the food wasn t quite as hot as I usually like, but it was still very good. Bottom line, I d eat here over Mr Mikes or Boston Pizza any day hands down.

Food was fabulous.

Great food and great service

Great pizza. Great menu. Great value.

Great food

Awesome food, healthy portions, very reasonable prices, Great Atmosphere, beautiful tables and booths, no loud music, friendly service (Jeanne was awesome!). What a gem of a restaurant in Prince Albert. Dont look further if you want to eat.

I used to love my dining experience at the Venice House on Central in Prince Albert; my last 3 visits to this location did not go well. The service was very slow, waited nearly 15 minutes each time for service or to be even served water. Ive watched tables up and walk out because they havent been served... when telling the wait staff bout their service they even argue back...so it will most likely stop me from coming back and this was one of my favorite places to eat in Prince Albert.

Great food, excellent service, clean and comfortable.

There April 8th, 2021. Cold rack of ribs, soggy salad, cold potato. Had lukewarm tea with honey. Honey wouldnt even pour out, It was like candy. Upon leaving, there was a beat up junkie laying inside the front entrance,,,no mask,,,begging for leftovers. What the hell??? That place has gone to the dogs.

A living legend in this city.

Awesome food

The food and service were fantastic! The service was prompt and the food serving was large! Only rated 4/5 though, because they kind of need to update the place, especially the bathroom! The bathroom looks a bit grimey.

Food was good. Large portions.

Always a treat :) great local business

Good food

Service non existent and almost nine dollars for 1 adult pop 1 child pop and 1 coffee no refills although you are suppose to get refills i asked but didnt get any so ate most of the pizza while dying of thirst finally had to leave tracked down a different waitress to get a to go container and when confirming about the drinks was only offered Im sorry no tip deserved here at least they could have given a discount on the drinks not a pleasant experience got the excuse that their regulars love it Im sure they do because they get service but if you want more patrons I suggest treating everyone as if they were your regulars

Great atmosphere and food , highly recommended place to dine in Prince Albert

Good food

I love the pizza and atmosphere here, definitely stop by most times when I pass though.

Service was good , tasty food ,,but salad was without dressing and a ten minute drive back for dressing was very perturbing,,, or a credit for dressing!! On a 18.00 salad REALLY ???? a credit for salad dressing ?

Great service and amazing food

Ive long held Venice House as my favourite childhood pizza stop. It had been 17 years since I had last visited.. its not quite the same. The pizza was ok, not great, and the toppings were completely sliding off the pizzas. The vegetarian options were slim pickings. As well, no dairy-free/plant-based/vegan pizza option is surprising in this day and age. I understand thats not who they cater to, its just unfortunate to see a missed opportunity.

Venice house was one of our favorite restaurants. Ordered two meals for pick up today. After 25 minutes, we arrived to pick it up. We were told us they called us back and left a message. No message on my phone. No call either. Because they couldnt reach us the order was not filled. Waited again. 55 minutes. Then because of a misunderstanding over the bill, a difference of $6 they had to call the owner! He was arrogant and rude. Finally, we left without our meal. The working staff are great. The owner showed deplorable customer service. Very disappointing.

Great food great service as allways

Great atmosphere and food. Service was fast and courteous, great to see an old favorite again

Always the very best in Prince Albert. What a success to be the most qualified restaurant consistently since opening. We have always enjoyed the food and the atmosphere of the Venice House. The Yannacoulias family should be very proud of their business as its always been a magnificent meeting place.

Best pasta

Venice house on Central has always been a good place to eat but OMG the Hamburger steak TASTED SO FRICKEN GROSS LIKE ASIF IT WERE FREEZER BURNT OR SOMETHING and croutons on the ceaser salad were hard as a rock and hard to bite TOOTH BREAKER UGH Im beyond discussed with our meal tonight.. My husband dont waste food but tonight he did and he got sick when we got home.

Ordered veal cutlets with mushroom sauce which looked like it was straight from the waste bin! The side spaghetti and tomato sauce was terrible but the Ceasar salad and garlic toast was delicious!

Best sitdown non 2 for 1 pizza in town.

My family has loved eating at/or ordering out of Venice House. My personal favorite to recommend to anyone is their Lasagna with meat sauce. Also the stuffed mushrooms are amazing! I always get Lasagna at every restaurant I go to. None compare to this particular Venice Houses lasagna!

Disappointed, apparently you cant order lemon potatoes till after 3 pm.Didnt see that on the take out menu!

Great staff, great food. Nothing more to say. Small Italian/Greek restaurant with little consistency on whether theyre Venetian or Hellenic.

food was delish loved the portions.

Nothing but very good! Best place you can think of!!

great place

Amazing place for food. Go Greek

Great food chicken a la greak my fav. yum

Amazing food. Accommodation for 12 bowlers and their families upstairs and everyone went back to the hotel full

Seated Fast ....Foods always good ....Waitresses are friendly ....but could be a little quicker with refills .like Pop and coffees ...water ....

Under new ownership, not as good as it used to be

Wow! I wish I had found this place sooner into my trip. Atmosphere, food, service, quality and quantity are top notch. The portions are huge and excellently priced. 3 dinners in a row there and not a thing to complain about. Highly recommended.

Some of the best food and nicest staff I have ever come across

very busy for dinner so go as early as you can. we got there around 5 . 5:30 the place was busy. but the managers seem to make sure there is enough staff. 5 at our table and all enjoyed their meal.

Awesome

I lovr the all dressed i had the imperial

The food is always good. The portions are good and its fast

Can always count on good food and good service.

Always a good experience. Food was tasty, great service, and decent value.

Safe place and great food

Very disappointed. Looking forward to a nicce evening out because it has been a very long time. Not like I remember how the food used to be. They do not have the variety they used to and the salad now comes on the plate. Chicken Ala Greque was over cooked and really tough.

Food is good and affordable and delicious. Enough room for a big family affair!!

Best pizza in Prince Albert

Mmm pizza!

Ran out of pork souvlaki prior to my order .

Was good a few years back but has gone a little downhill

A very good place

Always great food and excellent service

I like the way it looks inside and the service is fast.

Was the best place to eat.. Now the boneless ribs are fatty and ceaser salad is dry. Very disappointed in the taste.

Great food however service could be better. Not in my 5 star category however still worth the visit. If you are ok with no refills because of like I said before bad service.

Excellent food and service
