My friend and I were passing through Garden City... We noticed this Italian Restaurant, thought hmmm, that looks as though it would be good, so we tried it!!! We had such a wonderful experience, the atmospere was lovely a reminder of being in Italy, the service was great!!!!!! the waitress had such a wonderful bubbly personality made the experience fun and delightful... To top it off... the food was excellent real authentic italian....The grouper alla anthony and the lasagna bolognese is a must try... and we ended it with the most delicious Rum cake, just awesome. We give it 2 thumbs up.

My husband and I come down to the beach on the weekends and have driven by Venetian for months and finally decided to try it. Unfortunately we were underwhelmed. We had two waitresses waiting on us, thus confusing our order and making our dinner hectic and incomplete. The pasta was out of a box and we didn't make the early bird discount pricing so we paid $16 or $17. a plate for something I could have made at home. The beer choices consisted of light beers or Yingling and house wine not worth trying. Atmosphere was nice but the Elvis music should have been replaced by Dean Martin to match the atmosphere. We would recommened that you drive down the street a bit farther and try Nino's-you won't get pasta out of a box and you will get homemade! We won't be back.

My wife and I both loved the Ventian - we've been eating there for a few years. However, i'm wondering if they recently (in the past 12 months) changed their sauce? It just doesns't taste the same as it used to. Somethings missing. Also, neither of us are fans of angel hair pasta and they serve it exclusively. We prefer regular sized spaghetti and can't get it here. We still go to the Venetian - just not as often as we used to. We still like it - we just don't love it anymore.

I had came down for a month to clean my condo out. After all of that comotion we stopped in at the venitian grill for a bite and wow I couldn't belive it......the amont of food we got was amazing I couldn't even eat all of it, it was really good quality and fresh. The salad was chopped finely up so we didnt have to cut it up. And the bread and dipping sauce wow..! I loved it so much I bought some to take home....i cant belive that people would write things bad about this place, maybe they came in and were some picky eaters all I know is im going to leave a menu and the directions to this place in my condo so my renters can experience the real authentic italian food. I would recomend this place to any couple or group of people any day when I come back down I will be eating here again! .

Well, let’s see...where do I start? my boyfriend and I chose this restaurant on a whim as we were passing by. It looked fine from the outside. Oh boy did that change once inside! we were seated at a table for two where my boyfriend had to switch his chair due to his first one being broken. The next one wasn't much better. I asked the waitress for a diet coke which she told they were out of. I next asked here for a regular coke which she replied "i think we have a few left." my coke was flat and disgusting. My boyfriend’s beer was warm. My boyfriend asked for a filet in which the waitress had to go check if they had any left. She came back and explained there was only one t-bone left. My boyfriend said fine. She then asked if we wanted any appetizers in which we replied “sure, we'll have the fresh mozzarella and tomato”....i bet you can guess what happened next...they did not have any, of course. Supposedly, this is a seasonal item. Hmmmm. Our dinners came and were nothing short of mediocre for the price. My chicken parmesan tasted like a chicken cutlet that had been the last one cooked in a pan of twenty. The sauce was watery and angel hair pasta was the only choice. The salads were a bed of iceberg lettuce and a few small pieces of tomatoes. Towards the end of our interesting dining experience the waitress, who had now been gone for about 40 minutes, came over to express her apologies for her below average service and proceeded to tell us she was intoxicated because her last table just made her crazy. She blabbered on for another 10 minutes and had the audacity to ask us if we would be "regulars" there. All in all, this restaurant became the comedic relief my boyfriend and I needed after a stressful day. I certainly would not recommend this place to even my worst of enemies..

I am a local, and tonight was the first time eating at the Venetian Italian Grill in Garden City, SC. What an experience....my neighbor and I both ordered the spaghetti & meatballs (the early bird). They use angel hair pasta which was totally over cooked and mushy, and was not drained properly which made it more like a pasta soup with the excess water mixed with the sauce. The spaghetti sauce was not flavorable at all. Also, the dipping oil for the bread tasted like vinegar. The whole experience was just terrible.

We are locals and ate here with a buy one get one free coupon. I ordered the lasagna and must say, Chef Boy Ardee in a can is a better meal. The sauce was terrible and, the Lasagna, worst I have ever had. My husband ordered the seafood marinara over linguine. He was equally unimpressed. We wouldn't eat here again if it was a "get it all free" coupon. Terrible food. They should be going belly up soon!! Very sad.

We are "snowbirds" who try new restaurants each year. Even with the discount, I would not eat here again. Although the food was ok (not spectacular as the previous review stated), we spent too much time waiting for our meal--a simple one. We were in the restaurant over an hour and a half. It was not the waitress' fault....there were only 2 servers for about 8 tables of 4. We were seated promptly, served our drinks promptly, and had our order taken. We were given salad and bread and then waited over an hour for our entrees....the noise coming from the kitchen made it seem as though the cook was having a hard time. Salad was shredded like cole slaw so it was hard to recognize anything but lettuce. Free desert was good, but we would not recommend this restaurant when there are so many excellent Italian eateries in Myrtle Beach

We spend the winter months in Myrtle Beach. We made our first visit to The Venetian last night. The restaurant opens at 5PM. We arrived at about 6PM and were promptly seated by the waitress. After a few minutes, she took our drink order. With the drinks, she brought bread and butter and took our order. After about 10 minutes, she brought the salad, which was Iceburg lettuce (since it was shedded like cole slaw, not much else in it was discernible). Then began the wait. The restaurant seats about 60 and there were about 26 people there seated most in 4's or 2's. Evidently, the kitchen is not able to handle that many as our meal did not arrive until close to 7 PM. Although the food was good, there are many other Italian restaurants here in the same price range, that offer better food and more prompt service. We will not return.

I'm not sure how long they have been open but if they can get the word out they will be packing the place for years to come. Located in a new plaza in Garden City right on Business 17 you might pass by it because it looks like a chain kind of restaurant. But wow, the food is wonderful and the service great. They take reservations and the meals come with a salad and fresh bread with dipping oil and herbs.

We all enjoyed our meals and urge you to check out the Venetian Italian Grill just once. You'll be sure to return again and again. Also check out Restaurant.com for a $25 certificate and the meal is even more affordable than the affordable prices they offer to begin with.
