About Venecia
For food that keeps you coming back and hospitality that makes you feel right at home, Venecia is your new go-to neighborhood restaurant! Venicia is proud to serve the Gastonia community, specializing in fresh Greek and Italian food.

Where It All Began
To quote Venecia’s recent write-up in the Gaston Gazette: “When I first started, I started in Manhattan and New York with Italian restaurants,” explained Said Graber, who partners with Abdu Arafa to form Veneica. “Everybody started the same way. If you want to own a business, you have to start from the bottom.” The pair has earned a great deal of experience through the years and it shows, we think you’ll agree!
Come see what the buzz is about, Gastonia!
We’re Venecia Italian & Greek New York Style Pizzeria and we do two things better than anyone else in town. That’s hospitality and great food!
