I’ll definitely be back to try more of their menu.”

“I showed up late so I didn't get to try everything, but the shrimp dumplings were a joy! It's dark as hell in there so if you're over 30, take a seeing-eye friend as your dining companion. Gorgeous, decor and the music finished out the mood. The parking garage that offers valet is just steps away, so don't let the location deter you. Great choice for a date.”

“Had a corporate dinner here for about 15 people and it was spectacular. We had a prefix menu served family style and every dish was better than the next. The fish and beef were spectacular as was the dessert.Also, the service was top notch. Special shout out to Jamie our server, she handled our group amazingly, kept the drinks flowing (which were also great, thanks amazing bartenders) and ensured our whole experience was exceptional.”

Barrique Venice 796 Main St, Venice Italian • $$$
796 Main St, Venice

“Barrique offers an intimate dining experience with a mix of hits and misses on the menu.The 18-month aged prosciutto and burrata appetizer delighted with its flavors, while the octopus fell short in texture. The standout dish was undeniably the beet pasta, an absolute gem that left a lasting impression. However, the ribeye main dish, though good, suffered from an abundance of fatty pieces, detracting slightly from its overall appeal.The dessert, a Panna cotta with a cherry tart topping, was a delightful conclusion to the meal, showcasing a perfect balance of sweetness and tanginess that left me thoroughly satisfied.The ambiance of Barrique is pleasant, and the service is attentive without being overbearing. While not every dish hit the mark, the standout offerings make it worth a visit for those seeking inventive Italian cuisine in Venice. Overall, Barrique provides a solid dining experience that still warrants a recommendation”

Gran Blanco 80 Windward Ave, Venice Modern European • $$
80 Windward Ave, Venice

“We came here for dinner. When we arrived, they seated us at a very, very low table (like to our knees) right next to the crowd at the bar. They didn’t have any other tables to switch to, and because of the noise and the fact that we wanted to eat real food, we considered leaving. We decided to stick it out and thankfully the food made up for it!!! We ordered the eggplant, the potatoes, the buffalo cauliflower, the olives, and the octopus. I would highly recommend ALL of them, except maybe the octopus. It was good and I liked the combination of flavors, but it was more large meaty chunks of octopus when I typically prefer more thin and crispy. Overall, the food was fantastic.”

Ospi Venice 2025 Pacific Ave, Venice Italian • $$$
2025 Pacific Ave, Venice

“I brought my coworkers here a few weeks ago for a company team lunch and everyone had a great time and really enjoyed the food! The portions were large and plentiful, so much so that we were super full and still had leftovers to take home. My favorite dish was the kale salad, which was surprisingly flavorful. The pizzas were also great!I contacted OSPI ahead of time to make a large party reservation, opting for the lunch time prix fixe menu. The whole process was super smooth, and they were very helpful in helping me choose appropriate dishes based on the dietary restrictions of our group (we had vegetarians and gluten free people, both of whom were accomodated).My only critique is that the food took quite a while to come out at the start. I expected it to be out sooner since we had a reservation and had ordered a fixed menu, but after being seated, we still had to wait a decent amount, so we were quite hungry. After that, the pacing of the meals could've been slightly faster, but it's understandable because of the large party servings. Otherwise, service was great.Unfortunately I was too distracted eating to take pictures! The food was delicious!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free”

Fig Tree 431, Ocean Front Walk, Venice Cafe • $$
431, Ocean Front Walk, Venice

“We were walking on the boardwalk and literally just found this place. Looked like an old shack from the outside with some crazy heavy sliding door. Once we walked in we were transported to a beautiful restaurant! The cocktail menu was so alluring as everything was something we’ve never had. If you’re into a sweet cocktails definitely get the rhapsody in red - I couldn’t even taste the alcohol. We got an app to share. The calamari was incredible but the smelt was super fishy. That’s not the restaurants fault tho. After sipping our drinks we decided on a second round and the cookie. The best restaurant a la mode I’ve had is with this delicious cookie. The nut favor really came through. Our server was so pleasant and had a lot of personality. The bathrooms were also clean and interesting. If we weren’t just visiting this would be a frequent spot for sure.”

“I follow on Instagram Actress, Gabriel Union and her Husband retired basketball player Dwayne Wade, and noticed they were eating some Willie Mae fried chicken and yams after the Oscar parties, and the food looked delicious. I Yelped the restaurant and discovered it was in Venice, CA, and I decided to try it out today. I was not disappointed. The fried chicken, baked chicken, yams, cabbage, butter beans, cornbread, and gumbo were fantastic. They made everything fresh to order so everything was very hot and fresh. The service was impeccable. Bri, our waitress was amazing. She was very personable, and kind, and recommended various tasty items. The place is cute with modern decor. Ample parking on the street or in the rear of the location in the parking lot. Note: They do not have greens which was a bummer but overall, everything was excellent. Great place to dine and eat some soul Louisiana food.”

“It felt like home. Heart warming service with Antonio, very tasty food for a very good price. The pizza, the spinach ricotta ravioli, the crispy tasty greek salad, the gelatos, and the bolognese lasagna were all awesome. Even the wine was very affordable. Note that there is also a historic part of that building. If you are looking for as authentic as possible italian food nearby, it's a no-brainer. I encourage anyone to stop by and try that little business that prepares excellent meals for good price :)”

Forma Restaurant & Cheese Bar Venice 110 Navy St, Venice Italian • $$
110 Navy St, Venice

“I think the key to dining at Forma is to understand that everything you order should be shared with everyone at your table. You can't come here and get a pizza or a bowl of pasta or a cheese tray and eat it alone; that's just weird. You have to come with a group of friends, split a few entres, share a bottle of wine and chat and enjoy your dinner. There are like steaks and burgers and chicken sandwiches and stuff on the menu as well, and yeah you kinda can't those. These items are fine if you're stopping in for lunch by yourself or something, but I advise to skip these if you're on a date or with a group of people and just get a bunch of shareables. Pro tip: pasta dishes are smaller portions here now than they were about a year ago, but they're also cheaper than they were, so you get to order more and try more! Wait staff is amazing btw; they treat each table very well and I've never had a problem here.”
