Venezia is located inside the Continental Hotel, which dates from the turn of the century. Now ten years old, the restaurant claims to be the first Italian-style eatery in the city. The decor is lavish—ideal for a special night. A seat on the right-hand side ensures a view of the Opera House. Only Italian food is available, and offers everything you would expect—pizza, homemade pasta and other Mediterranean delights. If you are longing for some good Italian wine, this is the right place to be.
