Enjoy casual dinning in a warm, cheerful atmosphere
What started as a dream by Steve and Frances Balistreri to share a wealth of Sicilian and American recipes with friends and neighbors has brought over sixty years of wonderful food to the community. The Venice Club is widely recognized as one of Milwaukee’s finest Italian-American restaurants.
In July of 1947, the Venice Club first opened its doors in Downtown Milwaukee on Jefferson Street. The overwhelming success of the restaurant necessitated a move to a more accommodating location on Broadway Street; becoming a mainstay of business lunches for twenty-seven years. In 1983 the Venice Club moved to its current location in Brookfield. Since moving to the Brookfield location, we have added a 300-seat banquet facility, and in 1998 took on a major update, which included the addition of an atrium, rotunda and outdoor seating.
Our top priority continues to be a commitment to making our guest’s experience enjoyable and memorable – whether you stop in for cocktails and one of our appetizers at the bar; have dinner in our casual dining room; or you are hosting 300 of your closest friends in our banquet hall.
See Us at Summerfest!
Be sure to stop by our stand during Summerfest! We’re proud to have attended Summerfest for thirty-five years – serving a ton of fried eggplant every day! This popular appetizer is also served at our restaurant.
