Venetian Moon
About
Venetian Moon is an Italian restaurant in downtown Reading known for Italian-American classics and an unusually deep martini list. Signature recipes range from Chicken Parmesan and Fettuccine Alfredo to house originals such as Chicken Carmine and Tri-Colored Tortellini al Forno. The bar claims New England’s first build-your-own espresso martini menu, with more than 700 possible combinations, plus over 40 handcrafted martinis for guests who would rather skip the espresso.
The restaurant opened in October 2001 as a small, 10-table spot on the corner of Main Street, serving only beer and wine. It has since grown into a 250-seat restaurant with two full bars and four separate dining areas, each with its own personality. Reflective details, natural textures and romantic lighting tie the rooms together, and the lounge area is set up for a romantic dinner as well as a casual night out.
