The Venetian Grille


After being an icon of Main Street, Somerville for over 30 years, the Verdicchio family has expanded their business and opened The Venetian Grille. Using traditional Italian influences and the knowledge of the chef in American cuisine, our menu is a fusion of Italian and American tradition. We have a seating capacity to seat 100 people. We have the facilities to cater for any events at our restaurant or at your location. We want our customers to to enjoy the nostalgic atmosphere with mural art of Venice in our traditional dining area, highlighted with wooden features with a warm ambiance where you will truly enjoy a unique dining experience. For lunch or dinner, whether you are celebrating one of life's momentous occasions or just feel like enjoying a home-cooked meal, The Venetian Grille is the one dining experience that has all the right ingredients. Thursday, Friday and Saturday late night we have DJs that spin a variety of music. Wednesday night is Beer Pong.
