The Venetian

Disappointed. Food Not as good as I hoped- bit overpriced for what you get. Service was good though and ambiance good. Will probably not go again.

A thoroughly enjoyable meal. There were three of us and we shared each other's choices, which meant we could have a taster of food we might not have ordered ourselves. Every dish was hot and tasty and the service from the staff was excellent.

Great evening, lovely food and a great wine list. We would highly recommend the Venetian Hideaway to anyone looking for a relaxed evening in Ramsbottom

Good location, good atmosphere and great food, the menu has a great selection and the staff are very friendly and more than helpful to assist with your orders and how much to order.

Table booked for half eight, was busy so asked to wait downstairs until other diners finished desserts and someone will get us shortly. After 20 minutes of no one getting back to us I asked one of the staff to check if table was ready. They also never came back to us so at 9pm we told them of the poor service (there were two free tables when we went upstairs) and got a refund for our drinks. Shame as has a nice menu, but it doesn't know whether it wants to be a restaurant or a bar... Too many non diners downstairs seem to affect waiting staff coming to and fro from kitchen and make for noisy dining environment.

Great food, cosy atmosphere and an afegato (not sure that's spelt right). Beautiful!!

Our table was available for us when we arrived. The service was Sxcellent and in no way rushed. The food and wine was fantastic. To be highly recommended.

Great food ,, lovely atmosphere and keen attentive staff . Couldn't fault it in any way . We will definitely be going back very soon

First time here. Lovely food, lovely service and a nice atmosphere. We couldn't believe the bill was so cheap! We will most definitely be returning again.

One of the top restaurants I have visited, plenty of others places to eat in Ramsbottom, but this is currently our favourite. Will visit again.

We really enjoyed the whole experience of The Venetian. Food was really tasty. Quick and friendly service. The steps down were a bit tricky to two of our party. Also a little noisy. The live music was very good but it meant that the customers got louder. We will gladly recommend The Venetian to future visitors. Thank you.

Food and service was very good, not expensive either! We had our meal upstairs - and did not realise there was s bar and better eating rooms downstairs, we would visit again but would insist on eating down stairs..

Always have a good time but think it may help if waiters explain some dishes as there was a tad of confusion over what was served to some friends

Amazing food we loved the tapas so so much! staff very helpful with food suggestions We loved the Lamb meatballs especially. We would recommend to friends and family

Had a lovely evening with gorgeous food! Love this place feel like I am on holiday! Has a lovely atmosphere, dead chilled and great personal service

Good food, nice portions, friendly staff. Would go again most certainly. Would recommend the carbonara. Has nice lager on tap and good coffee (lavazza). Great

Lovely ambience and food absolutely delicious. Expensive though and would have liked to have had description of food served i.e. cheeses , dips , was told selection of cheeses were `Italian cheeses` but not what and some had nuts in them. Also told children eat free ONLY on a Sunday around 4 ish when the chef would come out and make pizzas for them. Not sure if we would go back as had better but local setting is a positive.

Visited on Thursday 30th March, just 2 of us, really great food, excellent service, fab atmosphere and the best Espresso Martinis. We had a night to remember.

Incredibly friendly staff, freshly cooked food, great atmosphere, would recommend this restaurant , prices are moderate but you get what you pay for, the quality is good to very good, calves liver dish was excellent.

Great place and great atmosphere, food was lovely too. Had to wait half an hour to be seated (we had booked) however they were really busy so we didn't mind. Will deffinately be back!

First time eating at the venetian would 100% recommend it to people. Friendly and hospitable and made us feel very welcome and comfortable. Great food and ambience will definitely be returning

Excellent food, friendly service. Really good atmosphere. We will certainly go again and highly recommend it. If, like us you're a party of 6+ ask for the wine cellar room, it was great!

As usual excellent food and happy relaxed atmosphere. Love the lights on the ceiling. Very friendly and helpful staff. Will definitely be going again soon.

Lovely atmosphere, the kids made their own pizzas and we all enjoyed the food. We love the Venetian and go there often. New house wine was really nice too.

Fantastic little restaurant! Service was faultless and food was served pretty much instantly and tasted beautiful. I would definitely be returning to the Venetian hideaway in Ramsbottom again.

Lovely little find. Cosy restaurant with a really welcoming & cheerful atmosphere. High quality food with great service. Warm & well designed interior Waiters were professional, very pleasant and attentive. Special thanks to Miguel who looked after us perfectly and complimented our great dining experience. I highly recommend and will return

Returned here last week after several visits in the past. Fantastic atmosphere, lovely staff and the food was delicious. Highly recommend, and will definitely be visiting again in the future.

Excellent food. Good choice of wines and cocktails. We always have a good night there. Lovely staff and a great atmosphere. Thursday and Saturday the live music is so good too.

Fab fab fab . Food delicious . Wine superb ..overall experience fabulous . Italian Tapa idea wonderful Pasta anchovies n truffle to die for. Will be back .

Portions have shrunk. Felt slightly ripped off. Manager very friendly and tried to sort all the problems but there were too many untrained junior staff. It was disappointing as we usually have a very good experience there.

The staff were friendly and attentive, took time to explain the menu and gave recommendations on the size of portions and what to expect, and the food was excellent.

It was just lovely from the service to the food - would definitely recommend it. The staff are very friendly and from the minute you walk in they make you feel welcome

Fantastic meal and a great atmosphere. Paolo made some great recommendations, from meal choices to a complimenting wine. Always a pleasure and we will be back soon!

The place was very busy good job we booked it. The food was a bit tasteless there seemed to be somthing missing also one thing I hate is that they bought the main food while still eating the starters, why? Over all it was OK.

The meal was excellent, and we enjoyed having 4 smaller dishes rather than two large ones, this gave us a good range of things to eat. The service was very good and very friendly and welcoming. It is a warm and inviting place to go for a meal. I will definitely return before too long.

Food was excellent, atmosphere vibrant. Over all a very enjoyable experience. It was ver busy but service was a little erratic, should have been better.

Atmosphere in here was great - Saturday night - live music and busy tables, nice welcome from the staff - great start! However my partner and I were both disappointed with the food. The pizza was tasty although would have been nice with a bit more topping. The other dishes - seafood risotto - bland and overcooked. Lamb meatballs - small and again quite bland. Scallops were tiny and overcooked again. Also we understand that the food comes out at different times but at one point we waited about 20mins between dishes. Wouldn't return here unfortunately, a shame as the atmosphere is lively but food disappointing during our visit.

Great service from efficient, polite young staff. Food gorgeous and good size chiccetti portions ..superb pork ribs and scallops (although noy many!!). Great atmosphere. .highly recommended

An interesting and wide variety of dishes. Quality of food was excellent. Welcoming and relaxed atmosphere in the downstairs restaurant. Attention to detail by the owner who went out of his way to ensure we had a really enjoyable evening.

The food and service was great. We had a booking but called to say we'd be late and they happily got us a table for when we arrived.
