Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in Malden

Saturday January 4. The Venetian is the epitome of Christmas festivities, colorful and decorated tastefully in every possible space. You must make it a family tradition to go during the Christmas season. We ordered the rigatoni à la vodka with shrimp and scallops, pasta was perfect al dente, shrimps were tender and scallops were sweet. Appetizer was eggplant, stacked, olive oil and seasonings, no tomato sauce and was actually delicious enough to order again. Food and service was excellent, so was the wine and cocktails. A favorite restaurant! We will definitely go back again and again. Before you sit, check out which table they want to seat you at and make sure it is not in the back room where they put screaming , out of control kids, which is the parents fault and not The Restaurant. There were two tables, each had three or four children, one table so well behaved and the other table thought they were on the hockey rink. Before a parent complains about my insensitivity, I have five children and five young grandchildren, and they all know the difference from Restaurant behavior to schoolyard rowdiness, with guidance from their parents . I hope the parents at that table read this. Viva La difference’ and Happy New Year.

An excellent dining experience couldn’t ask for any more with respect to choice and outstanding service

We had the jicama salad with steak, the jicama salad with chicken, and the tortilla soup. All excellent. Great waiter.

Fabulously food, for meat eaters, pescatarians and vegetarians. Staff attentive and personal.
