Venice Plaza was established by John Olivieri in 1958 with a humble beginning as The Venice Specialty Shop, a small delicatessen located in Fairview, New Jersey. As time went on, Mr. Olivieri saw a need for upscale catering throughout southern New Jersey and began off premise catering until 1977. At that time Richard Campbell joined Mr. Olivieri and opened an on site upscale banquet facility in Berlin, New Jersey called The Venice Plaza.
