Welcome to the Venesian Inn
A touch of Italy in the Ozarks since 1947
Arkansas Food Hall of Fame Inductee 2018
The Venesian Inn’s food reflects the rich heritage of the Italians who settled in Tontitown. The restaurant’s basic menu of spaghetti and fried chicken is “still made from scratch, just like always,” as are the homemade rolls.
Germano Gasparotto, an Italian by birth, opened the restaurant in 1947. A few years later, he sold the restaurant to John and Mary Granata, also native Italians, and The Venesian Inn has been in the family ever since.
