We went for an early lunch, The ambient and service was really great. The food portion was very generous with the complimentary bread and butter. I cant say its very delicious since the tomato sauce was covering the Italian spices of the dishe.

Super Italian Restaurant! Their tasty sauce is THE BEST! Every time we visit family in the Binghamton area, we make it a point to eat here. I had the Lasagna, could only eat half. The other half was the next nights dinner. Even better the 2nd time round. 😁

My Son lives in Binghamton and this was his first time here .How Lucky were we to be with them ❤ What a beautiful restaurant with Great food. Loved All the Art work ..A truly beautiful atmosphere. Service was Great and the Food delicious ... Fresh Pasta..None better. If you are lucky enough to live near Go there !!@

Great restaurant. Good was excellent, service was good. Had a private room, a good time as had by all!

Food is not fresh, the woman who seated us slammed our menus down and greeted us with an attitude and made us feel like we weren’t good enough to be there. Food came out within minutes of ordering and someone with common sense would know it wasn’t fresh if it didn’t take long to come out to us. Both myself and the woman I came in with ended up bagging up our food and throwing it in the trash and the bill was $60 for the two of us. The only pleasant part was our waitress Nicole. She was the only good part besides the cleanliness of the dining area. It to mention when we got there we waited in line and watched the gentleman in front of us have to rehab his own order because they didn’t close his food properly and he spilled food on his clothes. I will never come here again should of went to Olive Garden would of paid the same price with better quality .

We dined-in at Little Venice during the Fall 21 Restaurant Week. During the lunch hour, the 3-course diffuser menu was only $12. We got the meat& cheese logs and the soup of the day as appetisers. That was followed by pasta allá vodka and their eggplant parmigiana. Dessert was two tiny cups of delicious chocolate mousse and tiramisu.If theres one thing that little Venice is known for, its the Red sauce. That beautiful sauce on the eggplant parm and fresh, house-made spaghetti was the highlight of our lunch. The rigatoni with the vodka sauce was a let down, bland but very creamy. The soup was passable but the fried logs were good. The sauce that they served with the logs was delicious, it was a pity we didnt hold on to it when the mains arrived.It a very good restaurant, I wouldnt judge them by the restaurant week options. If you go there, order something with their red sauce (preferably their meatballs or parmigiana options).. End youre meal with the tiny tiramisu and an espresso. And buy a bottle of their sauce on your way out.

Ravioli best ever. One of my all time favorite restaurants. Always get the ravioli. Always go here when visiting back east in summer.

The food is absolutely delicious!!

The home made pasta was an excellent surprise. Highly recommend the pasta. However, when we arrived we were told we could wait an hour for a table or sit at the bar despite the dining room being half empty. That was a disappointment as this place is known to be a landmark establishment in Binghampton. To our delight, the barman was very friendly & provided excellent service. The waitresses were very cold & ignored us. Skip the formal dining room and sit at the bar. Youll be happier that you did.

The FOOD here is and always has been amazing since I’ve been alive. It’s been around since the 40’s. I & my whole family for generations has grown up on Little Venice. The service here isn’t amazing by any means but we come for the food. Enjoy!

Service was great, sauce was great. The rest not so much.

Went here based on a co-worker’s recommendation who grew up in the area. When we first entered the restaurant the hostess seemed very friendly. We were asked if we had reservations which seemed a little odd given that they weren’t even at 25% capacity. None the less, we were seated at a table. After about 5 minutes of waiting someone left bread on our table and walked away. Not wanting to eat bread without drinks we patiently waited to be asked our drink order. Another 15 minutes went by and no one ever came by to ask us about drinks. The staff did not seem overwhelmed and there appeared to be plenty of staff, yet none of them seemed to be interested in our table. We finally got the hint after 20 minutes of waiting that, even if our order was taken it was not a good sign of how the rest of our service would be from that point on. Upon exiting the restaurant the host asked us how everything was to which we replied we don’t know because we were never served or asked for our order. We decided to go to Cracker Barrel up the road and we’re seated, given our drinks and food in less time than we waited at Little Venice. Yes, I know Cracker Barrel is not the same food as Italian. However, we had a very pleasant server who acknowledged us from the time we sat down and throughout the entire meal. The locals seem to like this place. Maybe they are treated differently than people passing through.I cannot rate the food as we were never served.

Atmosphere + homemade pasta = some of the better italian food in an area where italian is kingedit: the sauce is out of this World, sweet and delicious

The food is amazing. However, for the price you pay pay for your dinner it should include soup or salad. They no longer come with the meal, hou have to pay extra.

A lot of people recommended this restaurant in Downtown Binghamton so we went for Valentine’s Day. My fiancée ordered shrimp scampi which was very bland. Pasta seems to be made from scratch. I ordered Mama’s chicken cutlet and it was very bad. The breaded chicken tasted like it had been fried in old oil, and the white wine sauce was not appealing at all. I give it two starts because servers were very kind. I don’t think I’ll be back.

This is hands down, one of the best Italian Restaurants in the Triple Cities! Their homemade pasta, meatlogs, and famous sauce make this a dining experience that will keep you coming back again, and again.

What a treasure! This is genuine Italian cooking! Delicious! The restaurant has a long history in the area, and also hosts quite a gallery of original artwork. There are rooms available for private parties.

Great food and great service. Our waitress had a whole room to serve for a retirement party and no help. She did a fantastic job!

This is what I just paid$20 dollars for?? Shrimp scampi and these extremely dry noodles. And they said that the small container is supposed to be chicken soup 😂. Its bread crumbs in water. Never again!!!

Great family red sauce joint in Binghamton. Eat everything. Server was superb, and food exemplary.

If you are looking for hearty portions and HOMESTYLE cooking, you will love this place, but, if you are looking for Lydias Italian Kitchen, or are expecting a meal that is made the way it is in a 5 star restaurant in Venice, you probably will not care for this place, but i love it, it is fresh, well made, and hearty!!

As always, excellent! The homemade pasta was perfect, the sauce like I make, the meat logs tasty. I have to admit I was leery of the meat log before trying it but they do it right! One of my favorite places to eat during my travels. You wont regret it!

The food was extremely delicious. I hate to point out something that wasnt quite right, because I absolutely love little Venice. However, I dined with a friend and my wine and an add on were placed on my friends bill.

Nice atmosphere and delicious food! Everyone is super friendly! Was in town on business and unsure where to go, so glad we chose Little Venice! If business brings me nearby again Ill definitely come here to eat again :)

I visited Little Venice w/ my brother n sister for the first time. I loved the Veal Cacciatore n Shrimp Scampi. Only thing I didnt like was the menu was a little limited. The food was very good.

It was really good experience. Their tomato sauce is amazing!

I from Atlanta and I stopped at this restaurant because someone local recommended it. I must say I am not pleased!! That was the nastiest shrimp scampi I’ve ever tasted!! It was definitely over priced. The service was exceptional but I suggest hiring a new cook!! ASAP!!

My favorite Italian restaurant and every time I visit hometown of Endicott I make my way to the Little Venice e. No one can top their gravy, their homemade raviolis and spaghetti are the best!

Good service, no waiting on a Tuesday at dinnertime. Fettuccini Alfredo with broccoli was fine, not super flavorful but ok. Big portions but for the cost Id rather have really delicious food and no leftovers than enough ok pasta for 3 meals.

This used to be the place I’d go every single Tuesday for the Italian wedding soup. My grandma makes it just like them but I can only get it on holidays from her. These past couple years I have not had good luck with the food, either cold, hair, or just doesn’t come out. I give four because of the soup. It’s amazing

Delightful Italian food with great service in a historic resturant. Wonderful treat to stop by for lunch.

Great atmosphere, food is really tasty. A bit pricey but well worth it for the portions you get. Meat logs are a weird concept/name but are really delicious.

No reservation but got a table after a very short wait. I think their salads have improved and a little bigger. Got the eggplant parmesan. Who wants to make that at home? Huge stacked amount and cooked perfectly. Great service. Happy experience.

Little Veneci is the Best in Binghamton. Same italian Ford, but diferente flavor...

11/10As an Italian, this is quite possibly the best Baked Ziti Ive ever had in my life. No joke. The sauce is great, the cheese tastes fresh, I would come here every day if I could afford it.

Food is delicious and we enjoy sitting at the bar. One of our favorite restaurants.

Fabulous food and great service. Very comfortable atmosphere.

We were in town to visit family they selected this place and we were very pleased with service, selection and great Italian food..will visit again!

A Beautiful place where you can taste home-made dishes.

Staff was slightly rude. My salad was mostly lettuce very unimpressive and the volume of salad wasnt able to be covered by the small cup of dressing I was given. Not impressed. Flashy interior doesnt always mean quality food. Dining room didnt appear to be full even with covid lots of empty tables for dinner time. I would look for better in the area.

Their food is god awful. I ordered pasta alfredo and the alfredo sauce was basically water with clumps of alfredo cheese in it. I then gave them another chance and ordered a hamburger. The hamburger came back burnt, blackened, and overcooked (I specifically asked for the burger to be cooked MEDIUM). The booths are not sized in any way for people who suffer from obesity. Dont eat here. Eat at Tonys in Endwell instead. This place is god awful.

The service is excellent and friendly. The meat logs, not meat balls, are very good. The spaghetti sauce is just a tad sweet for my taste.

Love this fabulous Italian experience!! The food is beyond great, homemade pasta is indescribable! History & art gallery from original family increase the ambience! Highly recommend!

Good food and desert go early and get the lunch special

I placed an order over the phone at 6:20 pm. I was told 50 to 55 mins. I arrived to the restaurant at 7:15 pm. To my surprise the order was still not ready. I waited 20 mins than asked the waitress the status. She said they are packing my order. So I figured ok 2 mins. No I waited another 25 mins. I finally got my food at 8pm. After waiting so long I was very disappointed with the noodles . I ordered shrimp scampi. The noodles were stuck together as if it was sitting in the strainer for a while.

1st time visiting. Wonderful staff and dinner was great. Well be back.

We had a good meal and a fair price, and leftovers. It wasnt very crowded so we had a nice quiet meal. Little Venice is recommended.

The food was bland, no flavor. The soup... I had no idea why it was made like that. The spaghetti was cooked so terribly, I really dont know how you can mess up spaghetti. We couldnt even finish the food, we ended up throwing it away because we didnt want to feed it to the dogs. The waitress was sooo rude, gave attitude and barely tended to us. (even though we were one of the last people there) I will never go again, or suggest other people do the same.

Server was new so not going to rag on her. That being said 2 of our party never received silverware or napkins and both of their orders were incorrect.

We always looked so forward to going to Little Venice. Usually for special occasions. We went on this past Sunday with family and friends. originally it was for 4. the number changed after we met our family members there. A couple of long time friends. We had been seated . when we told the hostess the change oh boy ! attitude for sure because she had to move us. after she seated us at the new table She VERY sarcastically said enjoy!! VERY diasappointed, not the little Venice we are used to (oh by the way my in laws are regulars too. THEN it get more disappointing one of our group asked me What you going to get. I told her oh I always get the fried fish it is delicious. Oh thanks so much I didnt see that so she changed her order (the waitress was fine with the change. Then the meal came when I saw the plate with the fish dinner on it could not believe my eyes . Nope not the regular fresh breaded fillets. it was two pieces of what looked to be like the fish you get in a McDonalds sandwich. certainly not at the McDonalds price. it was eatable BUT CERTAINLY NOT WHAT IT USED TO BE and yes even at a higher price :( really disappointed with the experience. We will give Little Venice a rest for some time in hopes they go back to the usual fried fish dinner and hope the hostess can take some happy pillsKen M

Not your average Italian restaurant menu. Home made without you doing the cooking.

Save your money. I am super shy and hate sending food back - I got the shrimp scampi and the noodles were like hard mush...if that makes any sense. I am unsure as to how you mess up noodles/pasta of all things. It was disgusting. I didn’t eat a bite and I sent it back - the waitress never questioned as to why I sent it back untouched. The gelato was grainy and the salted Carmel was literally super salty...ew! So much of my money wasted. Upsetting.

Good food, good service. Been going there for years.

Fantastic Italian restaurant. Went for lunch during restaurant week. Great deal on a three course lunch

Rigatoni was good. So glad it was warm this time!Would give 5 stars, but salad was small.pieces of lettuce(?) with lots of small broken up red cabbage and carrots. I believe I got the end of the salad bag all small bits & pieces! I would have said something to get a differentt salad. However, I did not see my waiter around nor could I find a nearby waiter to ask for mine.

I work there Ive been there 24 years.

Catered our family dinners for close to 80 years, what does that tell you. I wish I could give the 25 stars

Went here for Valentines Day as multiple sites listed this as one of the best restaurants in Binghamton. We were seated at a typical pizzeria style table and were given menus but no water. After sitting with the menu for about 15 mins the waitstaff comes to take our order and lets us know theyre out of everything we wanted to order. Also, their menu is different online and the dinner I had planned on ordering wasnt even on the menu. I would have ordered a bottle of wine but I received no wine list. Actually there was no drink menu at all and had to guess if they served beer or not. After spending $60 on cheese, spaghetti and room temperature soup served in a thimble, my date and I couldnt get out of there fast enough. I dont usually go out of my way to leave bad reviews but for you, Little Venice? No problem. I could have had a more romantic Valentines Day dinner at a White Castle, and the food would have been better too.

Very good. Wait staff was very nice and accommodating.

Good Italian food, generous portions, competitive price, friendly staff, plenty of parking.

Excellent food & service. Great place to spend Mothers Day & Anniversary ....

We had our dinner last night it was very good, love the meatlogs and Rigatoni🥰♥️

Not sorry and not going to sit here and complain. It was the last time I set in that restarant. Dennys treat you better.ter·ri·bleextremely or distressingly bad or serious.

I know this place has a loyal customer base, but the food was absolutely horrible. I ordered the spaghetti & meat logs with a side salad. The pasta was overcooked to the point of being chewy, & the sauce was very bland with no flavor profile. This review may seem harsh, but it is my honest review. If you are charging $16 for a spaghetti dinner, the quality should reflect the price

Drive for hours to go here...and bring their sauce back home. Looooove it.

I have been going to Little Venice, since I have been a little girl, with my Grandparents and my parents. I really enjoy the food there.

Amazing Italian food - mamas cutlets and meat logs are fantastic. Will be back when in the area again!

From years ago when the Carulli family was in charge, up to this day, the best Neapolitan fare locally. Clearly poshest, warm atmosphere, paintings on the walls, menu, wine, and dessert presentation and selection are primo..Take my word for it: Va bene e va Picola Venezia. Cordiale Saluti, Lorenzo -

Had a birthday party there great food and service

Prolly best Italian spot in binghamton, homemade fettuccine noodles are the best Ive had.

Amazing staff, amazing food, and amazing atmosphere. Little Venice will always be my go to for authentic Italian food thats served hot, fresh, and with a smile.

Best cheese ravioli , we live north of syracuse and I have to go here every visit get the frozen take out

Love Little Venice. Atmosphere and food is wonderful.

We were driving through Binghamton and decided to stop here for dinner based on positive reviews we read. To say that I was impressed with the homemade pasta, sauce, and chicken parm would be the understatement of the century. I have looked far and wide for Italian food that is this good and I honestly feel like this could have been my best Italian meal Ive had in my entire life. I dont say that lightly either; I grew up on Long Island, visited NYC a lot, and felt like Ive had the best there was for Italian food.Put it this way: were going to be driving through Binghamton again tomorrow on our way home and I am already thinking about what Ill be ordering tomorrow.The sauce is sweat, rich in flavor, and absolutely delicious. Their in-house meatlogs are just log shaped meatballs that are cooked evenly, tender and are flavorful. Their chicken parm is tender, breaded perfectly, and swimming in their delicious in-house sauce. And enough cant be said for their homemade pasta, which is unmatched.The prices are extremely reasonable (I dare say a bit low, considering that a dinner portion of chicken parm is at least $8 less than I would expect to pay elsewhere), and our family of 4 had more than enough food to eat including dessert for ~$80. THATS a steal!

Great friendly service..the absolute best Italian restaurant in the area!!

Food excellent, staff friendly and proficient.

This is the best spaghetti hands down

Doing a nice job during the pandemic keeping people separate and keeping service great.

Not horribly impressed.My wife received multiple recomendations for this place from friends and coworkers so we decided to give it a try. It may be a case of some things they do well and others not so well. Weve bought their red sauce before and enjoyed it so we gave it a shot. I ordered the Alfredo with chicken and was disappointed. The sauce seemed to have already started to separate on arrival and the chicken was tough, the breading also slid right off the chicken and was soggy. My wife had the chicken and was also less than impressed, neither of us finished.We decided to order desert being less than satisfied with the meal. I ordered the cheesecake and she got the tiramisu. I wasnt fond of the cheesecake but it was more of a tart cheesecake and may have been better with the fruit compote and I think its just my preference and other may really enjoy it. My wife however said their tiramisu was on point.All the recommendations we got spoke of the chicken parm or lasagna so maybe if we had ordered one of those our experience would have been better. That being said the bill for our meal was definitely higher than our meals warranted. We will likely give them another chance because of the glowing recommendations we received and next time try something with red sauce. If so I will try to remember to update this review.Update:The morning after our visit I started experiencing horrible abdominal cramping and digestive issues. At this point, Ive been tied to the bathroom for 4hrs and miserable. I plan to avoid this place like the plague going forward.

Waited at the bar while the waitress talked for over 5 mins to friends then walked to the back restaurant and was greeted by a rude hostess and told us they were at 50 percent capacity and could not seat us, place is definitely not what it used to be

Just ordered from this place for the FIRST time terrible experience. Lady who took my order RUDE manager RUDE. I ordered 2 meals and got no soup for either to go. Called back and the lady straight out said the soup is complimentary like it wasn’t a big concern to her? I paid almost $50 for just a couple orders of pasta and a kids meal couldn’t even get my soup why would I want to go back to get it will RUDE service. Offered me a can of sauce for the inconvenience I’m not I’m driving 15 min there to fix your mistake I don’t want my money back I wasn’t some responsibility of making sure your customers are happy offer a dessert I work in an Italian restaurant and we give our guest the best dining and to go services.( also meat sauce smells like puke)

Vert good place to eat

Great place and very great food.

Quality has gone down here big time. Used to a fine Italian eatery. One of the best in town. Delicious fresh tomato sauce. Last 2 times Ive gotten take out the orders were messed up. THEY SENT THE FOOD OUT MESSED UP. Got Manicotti that was all burnt on the bottom. Literally black burnt sauce all over the container. Ordered the supreme garlic pizza; they only put peppers and cheese on it which was undercooked by at least 5 minutes. Disgusting. No standards anymore!!

Great lunch, nice atmosphere. Pleasant service. Got to visit with an old friend today. Great time!

We were a large group. Food was overcooked. The kalamari was like a rock. Chicken Parmigiano was overcooked and then mushy from the sauce. The sauce tasted sweet and bland. Very horrible food. I do not recommend this place.

Pasta is homemade, ambiance reminds me of a little place in Little Italy I used to go too. Service was a bit slow, but she was really nice... They need to hire more wait staff. But no complaints at all... Well definitely be returning! (PS...the meat log is a large meatball shaped like a sausage so it stays moist) and get there early for pizza.

Fantastic for any occasion. And the food is delicioso.

Great food great service

Really appreciate this restaurant, lots of great memories ❤ with my family and friends. LV has been in Binghamton for years and years. Used to feel like family, times have certainly changed for sure! 0h the foods good, even though they have shortened the menu and jacked up the prices. Guessing that must be the covid pandemics doing. People just arent going out to eat. LV will always have a place in my ❤ 🤍 💙. I will keep going back for my ravioli...it is the best!Suzanne Furney

The best italian food Ive ever had

Love it here ❤

If you like bland and over-priced, you’ve found the right place. To each their own.

Good quality ingredients. I enjoyed the salad, cannolis, and the lasagna. Bruschetta was okay. Prices are quite high

Ordered the shrimp scampi, the shrimp was delicious but the pasta was wayyyyyyy over cooked. Mushy. Stuck together. Not a single noodle remained unbroken.

The food was greasy and bland. The waitress forgot we were there and I had to ask 3 people for my bill 🤷🏾‍♂️.

Best sauce around‼️

Great Italian food! Ive been here twice recently, had the eggplant parmigiana and the house ravioli both were phenomenal. The prices were reasonable considering the portions were fairly large. Our waiter was attentive and friendly. Overall a great experience. 5 stars earned.

Ordered takeout, wow! one of the best meals we have had in years!

Great food!
