This is the Venice Kitchen plate that always wins 😍

Pasta tossed in cream and parmesan, chicken grilled and tossed with the pasta, parsley pinched fresh, bread off the plancha. The kind of dinner that's been on this menu since the Old Venice days - and the one regulars know to order when they want the kitchen to just take care of them.

This is the dish you order when you don't want to think - when you want the kitchen to take care of you, the way a good kitchen does. 🍝✨

Walk in tonight. We're open till 9. Get the Fettuccine. Thank us.

If you've driven down Perkins this week, you've already passed us. So, come in. 🤗

Front door, host stand, hard right past the bar where Nadia's mixing whatever summer is looking like in a glass. Through the dining room - white shiplap, exposed brick, that one big window that catches every late afternoon. The kitchen runs open, the pizza oven's lit, and somewhere on the line a Creole Delight is going out (it's the most-ordered dish on the menu - there's a reason). Around the back: the private room. We've thrown a lot of birthdays in there.

Our Facebook still calls us "the best kept secret in Memphis." We've been trying to retire that line for a while now. ✨

Open Mon–Thu till 9, Fri–Sat till 10, Sundays for brunch and dinner till 9. Walk in any time. For private events, the room books through Tock on our website.

Yes or no: are you a salad-at-Venice-Kitchen person? 🥗👇

🥗 Walnut Grove
Grilled chicken, cranberry, candied walnuts, goat cheese, blush wine vinaigrette. The classic.

🐟 Cold Smoked Salmon
House-smoked salmon, blueberries, roasted pumpkin seeds, goat cheese, champagne vinaigrette. Bold pick.

🍓 Spinach Pecan
Strawberries, blueberries, feta, roasted pecans, balsamic glaze. Eats like both lunch and dessert.

🥬 Caesar
Romaine, parmesan, croutons. Don't overthink it.

Pair with one of Nadiyah's seasonal cocktails and the only decision left is whether you're sitting on the patio. ✨

Forget everything you know about a standard pie. 🍕🎇

Venice Kitchen started as a pizza company twenty-one years ago. We've never stopped taking it seriously. We want to show off two of our favorites:

The Great White
For those who appreciate the finer things. Our signature crust is coated in a rich Alfredo base and a decadent four-cheese blend of Gouda, Parmesan, Feta, and Mozzarella. We finish it with a nest of fresh, peppery arugula and a whisper of truffle oil. It’s earthy, refined, and an undeniable classic. 🥂✨

The Bacon Cheeseburger
A bold, gourmet reimagining of an American staple. We’ve traded the bun for a golden crust, layering savory beef, crisp bacon, and sharp Cheddar over a creamy Alfredo base. Topped with fresh Roma tomatoes and red onion, the real showstopper is the final drizzle of chipotle aioli for a smoky, velvety kick.🥓🍔

Twenty-one years of pizza in Memphis. Come make up your own mind.

Pick your favorite: Venice Kitchen’s Crabby Crawdaddy or the Buffalo Kicken Chicken 🍕👇

🦀 The Crabby Crawdaddy
Creole alfredo, andouille, crawfish, blue crab, mozzarella, jalapeño pepper jack, finished with a creole aioli drizzle. A masterpiece of Gulf Coast decadence on a crust. The pizza you order when you want the whole table to get excited.

🌶️ The Buffalo Kicken Chicken
Olive oil base, mozzarella, house-made buffalo sauce, chicken, ranch on top. The kind of heat that makes you order another beer.

Both available on cauliflower crust if that’s the move for you. ✨

Walk in tonight. Order one of each. Split the table down the middle. Settle the argument before dessert.

Venice Kitchen's Thai Chicken Salad was made for a Memphis spring day like today. 🥗

Imagine you're on our patio, the sun hitting the patio, a gentle breeze and a plate that looks like a garden in full bloom - Venice Kitchen’s Thai Chicken Salad.

It starts with a crisp bed of mixed greens, layered with the vibrant crunch of purple cabbage, shredded carrots, and snap-fresh edamame.

Then come the bright, citrusy bursts of mandarin oranges and the savory warmth of perfectly grilled chicken, all finished with the golden snap of crispy won ton.

It's light, it's exactly right for a Wednesday, and the patio will be open. 🌿🥢

brought the whole table in for an Around the World in 80 Plates stop, and Grandma picked us as the spot. 🥰

Grandpa showed up in his New Orleans tee (a man who knows what's coming), and the order told the whole story of our menu in four plates:

🌶️ The Crawfish Rolls
Shrimp, bacon, bell pepper, onion, smoked gouda, cream cheese, pepper jack, remoulade.
**Mara's pick of the day.

🍕 The Buffalo Kicken Chicken
Heat and ranch goodness.

🍝 The Creole Delight for Grandma
Fettuccine, shrimp, crawfish, blue crab, andouille, our velvety Cajun cream sauce.

🍝 The Shell-a-brate Spinach for Grandpa:
Jumbo shells, spinach, marinara, feta.

Four people. Four entirely different orders. One table. That's the menu doing exactly what it was built to do. ✨

, thank you for bringing them in. ♥

Memphians: who in your family is the one who always picks the right spot (*cough* When it's our name?) Let us know - We'll save the table.

Half the reason you keep coming back is the people you see every time. So we're handing them the camera this time. 👋

Walk in this week. Come meet the rest of us in person.

Salmon or Creole Delight... Memphis has been arguing about this Venice Kitchen favorite for years.

Craving the refined heat of the coast or the deep, soulful comfort of the Delta? We’ve set the perfect stage for your next favorite meal.

🍣 The Pan-Seared Salmon
A study in balanced. We start with a pristine filet, pan-seared to achieve that coveted golden crust while remaining tender and buttery within. It’s finished with our signature chipotle honey butter and rests atop a cloud of mashed potatoes.

🍤 The Creole Delight
For those who want a masterpiece of Southern decadence. This is a celebration of the Gulf, featuring a luxurious medley of shrimp, succulent crawfish, and tender blue crab. Tossed with smoky andouille sausage, crisp red onions, and peppers, it’s all brought together in a rich, velvety Cajun cream sauce over a bed of perfectly al dente fettuccine.

Which side of the menu are you leaning toward tonight? The smoky sweetness of the Salmon or the coastal richness of the Creole Delight? 🥂✨

May at Venice Kitchen is the month you bring the people closest to you in... 🤍 The mom who raised you and the grads who finally made it.

Mother's Day brunch lands Sunday, May 10th: Chicken & Waffles, Creole Hash, Blackened Salmon & Grits, and a French Toast finished with vanilla cream cheese and a creme brulee syrup that will have you talking about it for days.

Graduation dinners run all month. Order the Cutting Board for the middle of the table, pour the wine, let the deviled eggs disappear before the entrées even arrive. ✨🥂

Sunday brunch is walk-in, but Mother's Day fills the door before we open at 11 - come early.

Booking the private room for graduation? Reserve through Tock.

Our Southern Cobb needs no introduction 🍗🥗

We’ve elevated the Southern Cobb into an art form. It’s a vibrant landscape of flavors and textures: crisp mixed greens topped with golden, perfectly fried chicken, smoky bacon, and the creamy richness of fresh avocado.

Whether you’re stopping in for a quick lunch or settling in for a long, celebratory dinner, you’re part of the Venice story.

While our atmosphere leans into a sophisticated, adult-friendly vibe in the evenings, Venice Kitchen is, above all, a gathering place for the East Memphis community. We are the bridge between a casual neighborhood spot and an upscale culinary destination.
