Venetian Moon Ristorante & Martini Bar

Excellent place to grab a few martini's and enjoy some delicious food. Grab a reservation. This isn't a huge opportunity on busier nights to wait it out. Martinis are the star of the show. My favorite is the mint chocolate martini. I have nearly tried them all, and I recommend that you do the same!! They always have seasonal martinis. To start, we go with the antipasto for two. This is full of a variety of meats, cheeses, olives, peppers, etc. It's a must get and hits the spot every time. For our meals, we usually always go with a chicken or beef dish with pasta. You can't go wrong with the chicken parm, chicken Marsala, or the beef short ribs. The food is a 10/10. Tons of seafood options if that's your thing. For dessert my fiancé for the caramel cake and she hasn't stopped talking about it since. The tiramisu never misses. The ambiance in the basement is great for a date night. It's dark, but lit with votive candles on each table. Our allergy recommendation for this restaurant would be 10/10. The waitress was very accommodating and assured us that our food would be prepared for our allergy. Thank you for that!!

Crowded, but we had reservations! The drinks, food and service were top notch. The atmosphere was crowded, but very festive! There were six of us seated at a round table, so it was easy to see everyone and hear the conversation.The food was cooked to perfection, with just right amount served! Everyone totally enjoyed their choice!Our waitress was friendly and attentive. Even though it was very busy, we were never pressured to leave. Although the prices were a little on the high side, they were not out of line and certainly not outrageous!.Bottom Line! A great restaurant that we will come back to!

The food here is great! The service was awesome and our server helped us order an appetizer of muscles even though they were not on the menu.

Came here with my sister on a Wednesday afternoon to find most of their tables on the first level occupied as well as their bar. Fortunately, we were still able to get seated at their booth. We shared a bruschetta and stuffed mushroom for appetizers. I was surprised to see all the melted cheese on top but it was actually our favorite dish of the meal. The mushrooms were well seasoned and juicy. For an entree, we split their frutti di mare with angel hair pasta which we thoroughly enjoyed and consumed it all. During our meals, we ordered two rounds of a dirty martini and cosmo with a splash of cranberry juice. I liked my martini but found the cosmo to have too much simple syrup to compensate the less juice. Overall, we had a good time with tasty food and professional service. It can be considered casual and comfortable environment that I would like to visit again.

The place is very good. No doubt about it. I love it there. You'll get a great meal that is delicious. However.... I went there yesterday and it was $19 and change. I gave a $6.00 tip and that on me. But it equals a $25. Plus dollar martini. I live in Boston, lived in NYC. That's the most expensive Martini I've ever bought. And it was in Reading MA. It's more expensive than Fenway, the Garden, MSG, Yankee Stadium... I mean??? Need I say more?

For my birthday, I went to this restaurant and I have many good things to say about it, and a few things I would change. Overall, the food was delicious but one of my relatives had the scallops which included a sauce that they thought was unnecessary and did not flow with the dish. I had the haddock putenesca and it was very filling. The bread we were served at the beginning took a while to come out and was unseasoned. The employees and very kind and helpful. The restaurant is very big and it is easy to schedule a reservation. Sometimes there are events here like comedy shows or live music. The decor and very elegant and I would come here again.

Always an outstanding experience here! It can get extremely busy on Friday night and Saturday, so plan ahead or come during the week.The service is excellent from the host to the waitstaff to the bus staff. Very accommodating and flexible if you need to make minor substitutions to the menu items.The food is delicious. I have had multiple dishes here including the gnocchi, vodka pasta, chicken braciolettine, eggplant rollatini, and aranchini to name a few, and loved all of them. Even the bread is delicious (not cheap supermarket rolls). Portions are good and prices are reasonable.A taste of the North End with better parking and less tourists.

This place has great service, drinks, & food. Being there for a drag show was the icing on the cake. There is a huge ass martini menu that is simply overwhelming but has something for everyone. The food options are good, glad to see veggie options, although vegan items are non-existent. I definitely ate too much & had to take a walk around the block before the show started. I would say the only thing is considering this restaurant is not in Boston the prices are higher than they should be. Overall you totally want to check this place out.

Wow........1st time visiting Drinks are fire!Service was prompt and polite Lower section is low key and perfect!Food was spot onMy wife ordered the baked haddock I ordered Frutti Dimare Fra Diavalo Everything was cooked perfectly Just enough heat to give me the sniffles Wish they gave straws to drink the broth.

Wonderful Dinner. Great varied menu Had the veal piccata over freshly made pasta. It was fantastic. Had braised ribs - delicious and fall off the bone!Service was excellent. Very professional and well done. I will be back and would highly recommend!
