But we don't see people who are suffering from the lack of food on a daily basis. The Balisteris agree that family and staff contribute much to the restaurant's success. Casper's mother Frances still comes in every day to make meatballs, cheesecake and other specialties. Chef Steve Koslo has extensive experience and lead line cook Tom Handeland has been with the restaurant since he was 15 years old. Many among the friendly, efficient wait staff have been with the Venice Club since it opened and, with so many regulars, have really gotten to know the customers.
People have weddings, showers, baptisms and funeral meals here.
We share in their good times and bad. That brings great satisfaction to what we do. The Venice Club is located at 1905 N. Calhoun Rd., Brookfield, and is open for both lunch and dinner. The restaurant offers carryouts including family-size pans of food, deliveries through TakeOut Taxi, catering, box lunches, and facilities for meetings and private parties.
