Hands down, our favorite restaurant ever! Lucky us, it's just two blocks away. A nice walk. All the good things they say about Gjelina are true! We can't say enough. If you can't get a reservation, you can probably be seated as a walk in at 5:30 : )

Gjelina's casual mini me. Great wood fired pizzas. Everything you ever need...from morning coffee to a home cooked entree that you can take home for dinner. Opens early, open late. You never need to cook!

Gjelina's 5000 square foot emporium of deliciousness! It's 9/10ths of a mile away, so great for a walk or bike ride. Bon Appetit Magazine chose Gjusta as one of it's 10 best new restaurants of the year. Believe it!

Boy are we fortunate that one of the best Italian restaurants in LA ended up on Abbot Kinney Blvd. This is another difficult reservation to secure, but you can always join the line at 5:30 pm for the first seating. It's worth it! Squash blossoms, caccio e pepe, a great selection of wines and cocktails, etc.

Big bright family friendly bakery and restaurant.
On Lincoln Blvd. We recommend taking a beautiful stroll down one of the walk streets (Nowita Place, Marco Place, or Amoroso Place) to get there. Enjoy! And bring home a baguette.

There's a good meal here for everyone. Choices of sushi, or great entrees from the kitchen. Japanese and California cuisine. Wabi- Sabi has become quite the bar scene, especially after the beach and late at night.

Sightseeing
One of the iconic neighborhoods of Venice. I recommend walking through the canals to get a sense of historic Venice. The Venice walk streets are a must experience as well. The walk streets--Nowita Place, Marco Place, and Amoroso Place are unique in that they are narrow, beautifully landscaped sidewalks in Venice lined with houses on both sides. They are charming as heck. Check them out!

Another unique and interesting neighborhood to stroll through. ( Especially on your way to Superba Food + Bread). The street between the houses is a beautiful garden path. Tranquil and beautiful and neighborly.

Right in the middle of the downtown arts district, Hauser & Wirth is a commercial gallery that looks and acts like a contemporary Museum. They also have a fabulous restaurant on site, "Manuela".
