The Venetian’s award-winning Italian cuisine (including what critics call some of San Diego’s best pizza), relaxed setting and casual atmosphere have earned generations of fans since Vince Giacalone first welcomed customers in 1965. Sons Joey and Frank proudly continue their family traditions, making sausage, soups and sauces from scratch and drawing a devoted, all-ages clientele. Highlights of the menu include bruschetta, seafood pastas, chicken and veal piccata, and thick- or thin-crust pizzas with either traditional or trendy toppings. Located in Point Loma, The Venetian’s friendly service and “Cheers” style vibe make it a favorite destination for date night, happy hour, dinner with friends or family celebrations. Seating includes the lively bar and patio (great for families and larger parties); comfy booths and banquettes; and a private wine cellar that can be reserved for parties of up to 16.

    Had a wonderful time celebrating my husband’s birthday with close friends. Service and quality of food was good. The salsas weren’t too impressive but guacamole was good. Sad that tortillas are extra cost but they do give you 4 of them which are kept hot inside the aluminum wrapping. Drinks are good and worth the price. Overall, we had a pleasant time. Thanks to the servers being so patient while we waited for a couple friends to arrive.
