History of Venus Restaurant

Venus Restaurant and Catering, formerly known as Venus Pancake House, was established in 1977 by partners Steven Doulaveris and George Frangakis. For nearly 50 years, Venus has been serving quality food at reasonable prices. What began in 1977 as a small 24-hour diner with only 80 seats steadily grew over the decades, expanding to welcome more guests from all across the Florence community.
