We just had our last night of the trip dinner at Venetian Hot Plate.

One of the most delicious meals in some time--and that is saying a lot. Misto Mare--Diver Scallops, Mussels, Clams, and Shrimp in a White Wine Sauce, Caesar Salad, and Tortellini with Mushrooms and Pancetta in a Brown Cream Sauce. A really flavorful Pinot Noir.Wonderful! Aaron had Fettuccine and then Cheesecake for dessert.

Very attentive and friendly staff. Parking.
Prices are moderate to high, expected for.such high quality food.
Don't miss a dining experience at the Venetian Hot Plate when in Port Aransas.

Food was very good especially the muscles in white wine sauce.The bread with olive oil dip is scrumptious. I have the homemade ravioli which was excellent. A little pricey but worth it the wine on the other hand is over priced.

We have never tried this place because it is always so busy. Since we were here on a weeknight in slow season, we decided to try it. Now we see why it is always so packed. They had an excellent wone selection. We had a barera from Italy that was quite good. We had the grilled romaine salad which was very good. We also had the Ling and the red snapper. Both were excellent. The avocado risotto with the snapper was amazing. Our waiter, Paul, was very attentive and very helpful with the menu. We will go back.

We had a fabulous meal at the Venetian Hot Plate! The mussels in a delicious garlicky cream sauce were perfectly cooked, rich and delicious. It was so filling as an appetizer that it was difficult to eat the rest of the meal! The caprese salad with balsamic beads was outstanding, as was the tortellini in a Gorgonzola sauce. Highly recommend this little jewel!
