In Short – Suburbanites located north of the city in search of an upscale lounge head to Reading, where Venetian Moon's martini bar awaits. Stocked with more than 200 different vodkas, the bar churns out more than 40 different martinis, many of which are made using fresh fruit purees. The stylish dining area serves as a comfortable setting in which to enjoy upscale Italian fare (six-cheese ravioli, angel hair puttanesca).

what a great place!
by jezabella916
This place is amazing! The food is great and the atmosphere is what I have been searching for. I have read the reviews and alot of the cons that were said were from parking. I had no problem parking at all. I think people don't know that they can park in the back of CVS. Plenty of parking there and a short walk. This is a great place for couples that want to meet with their friends and a have a great night. The waitstaff do not rush you out of there, therefore, you can have great food and great conversation at the same time. I recommed this restaurant highly!
- Pros: large quantiy of food to take home and have for lunch
- Cons: none that I could see

A City Chic Feel Close to Home
by MllyS
As my headline states, it's a great restaurant for the city feel, yet I'm close to home!
I met up with a friend who I haven't seen in a long time so we had a lot of catching up to do. We were seated in the lower level (a hidden gem). This restaurant allowed us to talk while sipping fabulous drinks and eating a wide array of foods from the tapas menu. Fabulous!!
I have been sure to let my other friends know of the Venetian Moon, and think it is a great hip and "local" night out!!
- Pros: Atmosphere, Service, Smaller Meal Options
- Cons: Parking

Very Impressed
by tiffany345
I was very impressed. My first time was on a Friday night with my friend. We had no reservations and waited at the bar. By the time we ordered our drinks the hostess had already come down to seat us. She politely waited for us to pay for and get our drinks and seated us immediately. I was suprised that we did not have to wait very long for a table on a weekend night, maybe a 10-15 min wait at the most. The martinis were good and there was a large selection of them too. Glad to see the bartender noticed me waiting right away and asked me what I wanted, right as I walked up (not typical at places in Boston). We sat at a table that was a little too close to other tables but our waitress had no problem asking the table behind us if they could move down slightly. Our salads were great and large portions. I got the shrimp saltimbocca, and it was delicious. Large portion, great flavor. My friend got another dish with shrimp and loved it. She is Sicilian and has a mom who is a spectacular cook, so she knows her stuff and said she suspected that the food took a while to come out, because it was made from scratch. We had no problem with that and it was worth the wait. I was very impressed by the hostess and waitstaff who were very attentive. Also, water was refilled constantly and I noticed food was flying out of the kitchen at a really fast pace. I am coming back for a birthday party. I was very happy with the food and service. Great alternative to going into Boston on a weekend night.
- Pros: Italian Food from Scratch
- Cons: Wait for Food
