ABOUT VENEZIA RESTAURANT

Venezia is Midland’s premier destination for fine Italian dining, delivering an elevated experience with authentic cuisine, exceptional service, and a refined, transportive atmosphere. Founded in 1988 by the Scarcelli family, Venezia was built on a passion for bringing the authentic flavors and hospitality of Italy to West Texas. More than 35 years later, Executive Chef Carmine Scarcelli continues to blend family heritage with culinary precision and a dedication to quality.

From handmade pastas and prime steaks to fresh seafood and decadent desserts, each dish is thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. Whether you're toasting a special occasion or enjoying a memorable evening out, Venezia invites guests to step out of Midland and into an experience that feels straight from Europe.
