The food is always delicious, we especially enjoy the lasagna and their salads! The patio is charming with little lights in the plants surrounding the outside patio and all the tables have white table cloths and a candle.
The service is always attentive and great. We've never been disappointed!!!

I had dinner today for my mother's birthday. We had reserved a table in advanced and had no problems getting seated. We quickly ordered some appetizers and a entree. I had gotten a margarita pizza. Im not sure what happened but my slice of pizza slipped and I attempted to catch it and the pizza was so scorching hot that it left me with a bad burn. I practically had my finger in a glass of water the whole time. The pizza ended up being way too hard and not even close to what margarita pizza should be like. Overall the staff and atmosphere was nice but the food was mid my dinner of 4 ended up being $240. I would not recommend.

We went there to celebrate my 50th birthday with our neighbors and sat on the back patio. The food and drinks were amazing. The service was on point. The temperature outside was absolutely the most comfortable we could’ve imagined. It was nice and quiet and it was easy to talk.

We went to Old Venice for my husband’s birthday with a large group of 13 and had such a great time. The staff was super friendly and made us feel really welcome. They were happy to accommodate our big party, and the service was spot-on the whole night. The food was delicious—everything came out fresh and full of flavor. It ended up being the perfect place to celebrate, and we’ll definitely be back

This is a great restaurant. Food is perfect. All the classic Italian dishes. Plus they have gluten free. Wines are all amazing. Service is incredible, friendly, and efficient. 10/10

My parents were eating here in the 1970s before I was born, and it's been a go-to for my entire life including having my wedding rehearsal dinner on the back patio. The pizza is excellent, the cocktails are delicious, and the atmosphere is warm with a romantic ambience. Old school Point Loma establishment that is a local neighborhood staple. ​⭐​⭐​⭐​⭐​⭐

I hope the pizza is better . . .
With Pomodoros down the street and more reasonable in prices with no drop off in food quality that leaves Old Venice just a tad overrated.

I made a reservation on a Monday via the restaurant's website for patio seating on Saturday to celebrate a friend's birthday. I immediately received confirmation for the patio seating and a text confirmation on Saturday morning confirming the patio seating. We show up at the restaurant 10 minutes before our reservation to be told we were bumped from our patio seating because of a bridal shower. We were offered a table inside where the acoustics were terrible and we specifically wanted to have a special dinner outside on a beautiful summer evening. This was our first experience...and last experince...with Old Venice. There is no excuse for the incompetence. Old Venice had my cell phone number and could have contacted me during the week or on Saturday morning to cancel our reservation so could make other birthday arrangements. We were extremely disappointed and took our business to The Venetian where the service and food was exceptional.

Old Venice is one of our favorite restaurants in San Diego. Food is excellent in both taste and presentation. We had our rehearsal dinner here outside. Our servers were very helpful and accommodating.
