Situated in the beautiful and historic market town of Rushden in Northamptonshire is Pizzeria Venezia; a venue that has been a large part of local life since 1987. Located just off the A6, it is ideal for those travelling between Kettering and Bedford as well as Northampton and Peterborough. Conveniently placed just a minute’s walk from the main county bus route, local high street and ample free parking to the rear of the restaurant itself Pizzeria Venezia makes for a fantastic venue for romantic meals for two through to family functions.
The restaurant has a warm and relaxing atmosphere that allows diners to sit back and spend time over their meal without feeling rushed. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable and are on hand to offer recommendations and explanations of each dish for hungry patrons. Cesare and Gerado are excellent hosts and will ensure that all dietary requirements and requests are carried out the Italian way; with passion and attention to detail. In addition to the charming main dining room, there is a fantastic function room available, known as the Marinaro Suite, which can accommodate up to fifty-five diners and is ideal for christenings, birthday’s and corporate events.
The menu offers, as you would expect, a real Italian feast with beautiful fresh pasta dishes including classic lasagna al forno, spaghetti carbonara and spaghetti polpinetti; crispy fresh pizza with toppings such as spicy beef, baselice hot and nonno Antonio with mozzarella, red onions and pepperoni; and a fantastic selection of fish and meat dishes. The locally sourced fillet steak is a particular show-stopper and is neither lacking in flavour, nor in size.
Pizzeria Venezia is a family-run restaurant that takes care to maintain its authentic approach to Italian cuisine whilst maintaining excellent quality and using the best of local produce. It is a charming venue, full of character and more than capable of catering for any size party and making any occasion special.
