Charcoal Venice is an inviting neighborhood restaurant from Michelin-starred Chef and Owner Josiah Citrin that was inspired by the backyard barbecues he hosts on weekends for his friends and family. As the name suggests, everything is cooked indoors over live fire – whether over charcoal or in the coals. Citrin and Chef de Cuisine Dani McNish prepare a seasonal menu of craveable comfort foods featuring locally-sourced proteins and vegetables ideal for sharing family-style. Whether diving into a platter of smoky grilled chicken wings with a beer or classic cocktail at the bar, or splitting a 48 oz. dry-aged Porterhouse and a bottle of Bandol with friends, Charcoal Venice is an everyday dining spot.

    Great service. Dinner was nice here though brunches are great. If the dinner items and happy hour offerings appeal to you, I highly suggest Meet in Paris. Brunches as usual have more offerings that appeal to a wider range of tastes and is a safe and far more interesting choice that its competitors. Pro tip: always order your chocolate soufflé when you order dinner for optimal timing! Always a treat. Also a plus, it’s located on the western end of downtown Culver City, where traffic and parking are a bit easier. This especially made for an even more enjoyable experience. (Thank you for a wonderful day, Paris team.)

    Vito's has been a neighborhood favourite since I moved here 17 years ago. The staff are always friendly, they remember you. It's cozy and wonderful place to build memories with family, celebrate special occasions or just pull up a seat at the bar and enjoy their delicious and well priced happy hour. My favourite dish is a Pasta della Casa. Honestly, if that's the last meal I'd ever eat, I'd be OK with that. The wine selection is wonderful. The cocktails are spendid. Sharing isn't frowned upon. The hardest decision of the night will be "do I get my regular dish or one of their delightful specials." Great options for Gluten free, vegetarians. Wait till you see the dessert cart! I can't describe enough how much my friends and family from both here in LA and abroad in Australia, love their visit to Vito's. A must on everyone's visit to LA.

    I have had to eat gluten free for almost a decade now and this is by far one of the best menus I have found in California. Even if I wasn't GF, I would still be eating here. Food is always 12/10 along with service + ambiance. A note to the Open Table developers: need to enable 6 star ratings literally just for 401k.

    This is a live music venue. The entrees are great, the salads also great, and the pizza is not. I like the practice of reserving a table, because there is no other seating available.
