Guy Fieri Just Came Back to This North County Italian Restaurant for the Fourth Time

When Guy Fieri finds a restaurant he likes, apparently he comes back. And back. And back.

The Food Network star recently made his fourth visit to Venezia Pizza & Ristorante, a longtime family-owned Italian restaurant on Northlake Boulevard in North Palm Beach.

For those of us in Jupiter, that's close enough to put on the "maybe we need to try this place" list.

According to The Palm Beach Post, Fieri stopped by Venezia on Thursday with his wife, Lori, and another couple. His previous visits had mostly been about the pizza, but this time he sat down for a full dinner.

And he didn't exactly order light.

The table tried Venezia's homemade meatballs, mozzarella sticks and garlic knots, along with veal piccata served with artichoke hearts over angel hair pasta in a lemon-caper sauce.

Apparently, the garlic knots were a particular hit. Restaurant owner Elida Vogli told the Post that Fieri ate several and even asked about taking some home.

Four visits and counting

This wasn't a one-time celebrity appearance.

Fieri first visited Venezia with his son Hunter in 2023. He came back in February 2024, returned again in 2025, and now made his fourth stop in August 2026.

During his second visit, Fieri praised chef Albert Vogli's approach to making things from scratch, including the restaurant's pizza dough and sauce.

That's a pretty good endorsement for a neighborhood restaurant that's been serving the area since 1987.

The restaurant describes itself as a casual, family-run Italian spot, with homemade sauces, freshly baked garlic knots, pizza and classic Italian dishes.

A nice moment for the staff, too

There was another part of the story we liked.

After dinner, Fieri reportedly went into the kitchen to personally thank the cooks and staff and compliment them on the food and service. His wife also encouraged employees to take photos with him.

For a family-owned restaurant that's been doing its thing for nearly 40 years, that's a pretty memorable night.

And while Venezia isn't technically in Jupiter, it's an easy trip down US-1 for anyone looking to try something different.

Now the important question:

Jupiter locals, have you eaten at Venezia? And what's your favorite Italian restaurant in the Jupiter/Tequesta area?

We have a feeling this question could start a debate.
