Venice Italian Mediterranean - Dunn

AMAZED TO FIND SUCH GOOD FOOD IN DUNN! The 2 brother/owners and staff make their guests feel so welcome. If you want pizza go here! If you want authentic Mediterranean flavor go here! This is the best food Dunn has to offer. Grand Opening is on September 4, 2019. I wish the owners much success and hope they start a new trend of elevated dining in Dunn.

This is an excellent restaurant! The prices are very reasonable considering the generous portion sizes.

Now, let's start with the positives—the pizza was enjoyable! However, I do have a couple of suggestions. First, where was the cheese? The sauce was tasty but a bit clumpy. On a positive note, the crust was nice and crisp, and the toppings were generous. It's definitely a solid pizza option, especially in this area. I also want to commend them on their nice plates, but please avoid placing items that are piping hot directly on styrofoam, as it melted and stuck to the bottom. Still, the food was good. However, I had a significant issue with the tortellini chicken Alfredo I ordered. As a chef, I can say that tortellini should never be served al dente; it was undercooked and had a chewy texture. There wasn't enough sauce to compensate for that. On the upside, there was plenty of chicken, but I wondered whether it was fresh chicken breast or canned, as it had a gritty taste similar to canned chicken. Overall, it was a decent meal. I really enjoyed the vodka alla penne I had during my last visit and appreciate the passion they put into their food and decor. I will definitely return. Unfortunately, it appears they are now closed, and it looks like it's for good.

I had a terrible experience at this restaurant. The service was lacking, and the pizza didn’t impress me at all—Paisano's Pizzeria is much better. My friend ordered the chicken Alfredo pasta, and it was overcooked with dry chicken.

I ordered for the first time tonight and was really impressed. I got two entrees, two appetizers, and a salad for work tomorrow, all for just $30. The food here is fantastic, the prices are amazing, and the staff is friendly and keeps the place clean. I’ll definitely be coming back regularly, and my whole family will too after this experience.
