Full Review: Venezia- Saint James, NY/ Overal Rating 2.75 out of 5 Stars

Mr. Guido Says: **1/2

Food: Minestrone soup, cheese tortellini in pink cream sauce. Minestrone soup was pretty much standard, though not quite as good as others I've had. Tortellini was a bit overcooked, and therefore a little too soft. Sauce was very tasty. Portion was very large. Service was adequate, though nothing special. Atmosphere was a little unpolished. Probably a good place if you have a family with small rambunctious children, as the atmosphere seems well suited for that.

Mrs. Guido Says: ***

Food: Bleu cheese salad, chicken venezia (white wine sauce, roasted red peppers, fresh mozzarella, bread crumb topping. Bleu cheese salad started off good, but finished up watery. Dressing also had more of a ranch taste than bleu. Chicken venezia prepared grilled, with melted mozzarella and red peppers on top, served over spinach in a white wine/oil sauce. The chicken was thick, and prepared grilled. The bread crumbs were a bit salty, and the spinach was whole leaves and stems, not chopped, so it had a slightly metallic taste. Very large portions, but made you thirsty halfway through due to the salt. Service was decent, but not particularly friendly or attentive.
