I just had the best Bolognese of my life, and it deserves every bit of praise. The depth of flavor, the richness of the sauce, and the perfectly cooked pasta all came together like a little masterpiece on the plate. You can taste the freshness in every bite—nothing heavy or overdone, just true, comforting Italian cooking at its finest.
If you haven’t been to Venice Cucina yet, you’re missing out on some of the most authentic, beautifully prepared Italian food around. Everything feels fresh, handcrafted, and made with real care. I strongly encourage everyone to stop by and try it for themselves. This place is a gem, and their Bolognese alone is worth the visit.

We stopped by for dinner on our trip from Texas and the service was beyond 5 stars! The food was amazing and authentic, the atmosphere was very inviting and comfortable, clean. We will definitely be returning and recommending others. We ordered the Mediterranean salad with prosciutto, garlic bread ( best dipping oil) , fettuccine Alfredo, shrimp pizza and shrimp scampi, all worth the 5 stars

My coworker and I stopped in after a long day at work and were so happy to be served by Antonio. The food was absolutely delicious—from the generous, shareable salad appetizer to our mains (lasagna and pizza) and the perfect gelato dessert to finish it off. If you’re in the area, this spot is a must-try!

Found the best Italian food that I have ever had, located in Venice Beach. Had the spaghetti bolognese, lasagna, shrimp scampi. Every dish perfectly flavored. The owner Antonio hand delivers every table. From the garlic bread with olive oil spread, to the gelato dessert. A true old school experience! Why this restaurant is not waiting list only, is beyond belief. Best in LA, best gravy in the world.

1/10 food -10/10 HORRIBLE customer service 0/10 cleanliness in kitchen but most importantly the brother owners are horrible business people. Run far away from this establishment .
We had a lovely dinner at Venice Cucina. Ordered some Penne and a pizza with a small starter before. The chef and waiter at the front was really friendly and recommended us a few options. Thanks a lot for the delicious food. We will be back :)

How have I walked by here over 100 times and yet tonight was the first time I tried it? WOW have I been missing out. This place was delicious! I had the spinach ravioli and my husband had a pizza. We spent a couple weeks in Italy this summer and this restaurant was better than any food we had in Italy. I will definitely be returning. Staff is also kind and ambience was gorgeous. I saw the owner also bring out a water bowl for a dog without even being asked to.

A combination of your favorite neighborhood market and italian restaurant. I was very Impressed with Anthony's ability to give recommendations on our order and had taken care of us throughout our time there. This place was excellent not only in food but hospitality. It was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you guys.
