Neighborhood gem

One of LA’s best Italian restaurants, Locanda Veneta aims to transport you to Venice, Italy. Where the freshest and often deceptively simplest ingredients are combined and cooked into art. The cozy room, often dotted with celebs, is elegant but there’s nothing fussy about the menu. Here you’ll find favorites such as a fresh-vegetable minestrone; wild mushroom risotto; and spinach and ricotta cheese gnocchi. Garlic, fresh herbs and olive oil dress many of the pasta, meat and fish dishes; and the veal scaloppini gets a different preparation every night. When an Italian spot is as classic as this, how can you skip a dessert of tiramisu? Our extensive wine list complements your meal, with selections mainly from Italy, France and California.

Amazing!!! Real authentic Italian restaurant. The service was great, the workers all worked like a family. We were attended to immediately and didn’t experience any delays or issues. The food was phenomenal. It tasted like we were back in Italy. The food was pricey, but tasted so quality.

We had an 8:30 reservation on Christmas Eve when at 8:28 the restaurant called me to say the chef was leaving and they could not honor our reservation. I told him we were a block away but it did not matter. It was outrageous.

The restaurant was recommended to us and we weren’t sure what to expect. The restaurant had an older vibe to it, it sure if it really was an older place or that was just the decor and look they were going for…old world Italian. The service was excellent and the food…phenomenal! We had the CAPPELLACCI AL MANZO STUFATO (shirt rib ravioli), PAPPARDELLE AL FILETTO (beef tenderloin pasta), and the LINGUINI AL FRUTTI DI MARE (in a white wine sauce). Everything was delicious and the portion size was more than expected! We enjoyed some great glasses of wine as well. We left the restaurant fully satisfied and partially in a food coma :) Highly recommend Locanda Venta if you are looking for authentic, delicious and high quality Italian food.
