Rio Grande Restaurants

Beautiful views on the deck and amazingly delicious food.

Amazing food!! Best filet and octopus. Bread and butter was like an appetizer delicious. The staff so lovely. We felt welcomed and truly a great dining experience. I would highly recommend and would be a repeat customer for sure!!

We love this place. The service is prompt and attentive. The food is delicious and the atmosphere is great. We loved the scallop appetizer, the grilled artichokes and the octopus. The Cesar salad was heavily dressed so we would have preferred a lighter application of the dressing. The barramundi special was superb as was the lobster ravioli which were both specials. The scallop risotto was a special favorite. All in all, this place is an incredible gem!

Best restaurant in the Wildwoods!! Simply superior in every regard. The service is outstanding, and consistently so, as is the “to die for” food! Restaurant manager, Miloscz, is in a class by himself: attentive without being intrusive, affable, genuine, sensitive, personable, and professional. And the rest of his staff lives up to his high expectations. Most importantly, however, the food is absolutely delicious. My wife and I have dined at Venezia quite a number of times and we’ve tried quite a number of their menu offerings. Excellent!!! Every time!!! I’m hooked on their linguine with clams!! I had it again last night and may have been moaning as I ate it. It’s that good! My wife had the fettuccine with asparagus, also again, and loved it as much or more yesterday. Consistently superior!!!! And it’s BYOB!!!! It’s become, in a relatively short period of time, our favorite restaurant. You will not find better food or service anywhere else. It’s clean, it’s decorated beautifully, it’s a gem!!!!! We can’t wait to return soon. Plus…… we were delighted to learn last night that Venezia will be open year round!!!!! I’ve been holding back on ordering the Osso Bucco, which my son has had and loved, until the colder weather arrives, and now that I know they’ll be open year round, I’m sure I’ll be a very happy man when I actually do order it soon. Congratulations to the owners who have have really established a very special place that we genuinely appreciate.

You can’t go wrong here. We have eaten here more times than we can count. The food is always excellent, and the service exceptional. The bar area is big and tucked away from the dining area which I like. The bartenders are all friendly and the cocktail menu is awesome - many cool drinks that aren’t just the standard bar drinks. It’s a nice place to hang out and cuts down on the noise level on the dining area . The dining room can get loud when it’s crowded but is not awful. Their outdoor patio on the water is wonderful in nice weather and they will have live music outside sometimes. My sister had a celiac disease and they were happy to accommodate her diet restrictions. She had no issues eating here. This is definitely one of our go to spots in Cape May.
