Linda and Maurice Halioua opened The Venetian Hot Plate in Port Aransas, Texas in 1995 after moving to the United States from the area of Venice, Italy.

The Venetian Hot Plate offers quality cuisine and a quaint, yet energetic atmosphere, bringing a touch of Italy to this casual island in South Texas.

What People are Saying....

Venetian Hot Plate given Editor's Choice award
Texas Co-op Power magazine - September, 2005
Kaye Northcott, Editor "As one would expect, fresh seafood is one of the restaurant's specialties, but it also offers astonishingly good specials made with veal and lamb. Even the simplest salads and side dishes are worth the drive. The Hot Plate, named fro the sizzling cast iron plates on which some dishes are served, has the perfect Caesar salad, a great polenta, and heavenly spinach in lemon juice, olive oil and garlic.

What a great gem.

The menu of fresh fish, beef, and pasta was superb. The wine list was also outstanding for such a small ristorante.

The food was delicious, and it was well presented and innovative (potatoes cut to look like big mushrooms, for instance).

The service was impeccable.

The Venetian Hot Plate is something of rare elegance. It is a 5-star restaurant with 5-star service and 5-star food in a town that definitely isn't all that "5-star."

This place has the best service of ANY restaurant I have EVER eaten at. It was phenomenal. The hostess was pleasant and responsive. The waitress was amazing. The buss boys were on top of everything. It's so rare to have really perfect service these days, that when it happens--you remember. Not once did anyone in our party ever have the slightest complaint about any of the service all night. Truly amazing.
