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. Dinner nightly; lunch Monday-Friday; Sunday brunch; full bar.

    The food is always great here and the portions are generous. The prices have gone up it appears so a bit more expensive.

    Still a wonderful spot for great Italian food in Point Loma! Service was prompt and friendly, the food was excellent, and the cost was reasonable. My only comment is I wish they still served the penne pasta with marinara sauce as a side with the chicken piccata, but next time I'll ask for that specifically.

    Would not recommend Aglio e Olio unless you tell them to hold the marinara sauce. Veal and scallops were great but small side of pasta way overdone. We were charged for anchovies that we didn’t receive.
