It was all wonderful and made even more so by the charming and knowledgeable Massimo. The ambience felt like so many charming restaurants in Italy. The food was some of the best Italian I have had and I have spent months in many different Italian towns. I don't think you can go wrong with any menu choice, and the wines were wonderful. I wish that I lived in LA so that we could become regulars! Finché non potrò tornare.

Excellent service and atmosphere. The food was very tasty. I had the lobster ravioli, very rich and buttery. My friend had the branzino which i tasted and was good. Very interesting key lime cheesecake. The table bread with pesto spread was excellent.

Locanda Venetta .. delicious! LV has the kind of Italian cuisine you only get at a nonna’s house in Italy! This place has a heartwarming atmosphere and the food is just incredibly authentic. Don’t worry about knowing anything about wine, Mosimo the waiter will pick a delicious wine for you! Save an appetite for their Apple or Pear Tart for dessert with an espresso. This is the kind of restaurant where are you really want to take your time with each dish and wine, and then dessert! Love love love!

Very cozy and quiet place where you want to have a nice dinner with your loved one. Although only valet parking is available, street parking is out of the question. A waiter is super knowledgeable about the menu.

Wow! What a surprising find near Beverly Hills/West Hollywood area. From the front it doesn’t seem much but on the inside it’s transforms into a welcoming Italian style place. There’s also great lighting for a nice and intimate meal for a small group or a date. We found this place through Dine LA and really enjoyed our experience. The service was attentive without being too overbearing and the food was excellent! We had an octopus that was thinly sliced and burrata that just melted in our mouth. For our main entree we got the gnocchi that was pillowy with pieces of lobster. There’s a heartiness and authenticity that gives the food a special feel that isn’t too overproduced. Really a gem of a place a look forward to coming back again!
