It all began in 1986 with one man and a dream.

Venezia is the Italian name for the city of Venice, and while The Wirral is also by the sea (and Tranmere Rovers are as useless as Venezia’s Squadra Calcio) there aren’t many obvious comparisons that can be drawn between Birkenhead and the north-east of Italy. Head to Venezia Restaurant on Prenton Road in Prenton – right by Prenton Park, incidentally – and you might, however, change your mind. They offer a taste of Venice that is not to be missed, with a menu that is filled with Italian favourites that the whole family can enjoy, with a huge range of pizzas, pasta and mains. We’d recommend the veal alla Venezia, escalopes breaded and topped with cheese, parma ham and bolognese sauce, or for the truly ravenous, the leg of lamb al forno, roasted in orange and honey. Book your table now and head to Venezia for a taste of the bel paese in Birkenhead.
