I’ve been to the restaurant Gjelina a few years ago and enjoyed my experience. This place is also pretty awesome with essentially the same menu as the sit down restaurant plus some baked goods. I got a latte (mediocre), green juice (standard), saffron pasta (really delicious), and miso date cookie (another highlight)! Service was friendly and efficient but there isn’t too much seating space.

Amazing pizza! A bit overpriced but I’d still buy it again. Roasted cauliflower was also well cooked and full of flavor. Approved by a toddler as well!

Gjelina Take Away is such a win. The squash blossom pizza and the Margherita both hit that perfect balance of light crust, gentle char, and bright flavor. The Caesar is crisp and fresh with a punchy dressing, the turkey sandwich is exactly what you want for an everyday bite, and we ended with the date cake, which was a happy wow.
Huge thank you to Xio for the thoughtful recommendations and for being so kind even though we arrived right before closing. From the street it looks like there is no seating, but there is actually a good amount tucked inside, so it works for a quick bite. The whole experience feels effortless and a little European. Honest take, I prefer the pizza here to Gjelina itself.

LA has many great places to order a tuna melt. Unfortunately, gjelina is not one of them. the tuna was lackluster and the only flavor came from the butter on the bread. I’d stick to ordering pizzas here (the squash blossom is delicious).
Amazing sidewalk and small indoor cafe. Salads, pizza, cake , and wines for the win! My favorite place on Abbot Kinney!

It is hard for me to overstate how horribly cooked and bad the meat was for their “wagyu” brisket banh mi. It was 30% gristle and what was meat had been cooked to a wonderful rubber / rock like texture. Comically bad for a $25 sandwich. This place should be embarrassed to charge so much for food and serve such low quality slop.
Ordered 3 Pizzas and they where all good, like 8/10 but not amazing and they have to be amazing to warrent the insane price of 96 f-in dollars.
excellent bread. just ok food. ridiculous prices. took waaaaaay too long
Best pizza slice in Venice

Date cake <3
Good pizzas. Also the muffins and pastries are very good. However, the market salad and caesar salad were not well washed. Took a few bites of dirt. I still go there for the pizzas, but too afraid to get salads there.
Make sure not to tip extra, they already include it
Best breakfast burrito on Abbott Kinney. Definitely expensive but always happy with the food!
