VENICE,

The menu at Venice doesn't ramble on for pages and pages. It's confined to seven pastas, six entrees, and two specials. Yet there is variety among these options, from rigatoni to cavatelli in the pastas, and from swordfish to T-bone or pork chops in the entrees. Venice has a comprehensive wine list, with reds and whites from domestic, Italian and French sources, plus an Australian red and a New Zealand white. The lounge has its own menu, which includes grilled pizza, sandwiches, salads, appetizers, and one pasta. The restaurant also has an $11.95 pasta bar every Wednesday and a $12.95 brunch on Sundays.
