Open on North Carrollton since 1957, Venezia is the kind of family Italian spot where you’re greeted like a regular. Thick, long-simmered red sauces and blistered pizzas share the menu with Creole-Italian seafood in cream sauces piled with crab, shrimp, and crawfish — all in famously generous portions. A comforting Mid-City fixture that’s stayed in the family for generations.
