Venice, Los Angeles ยท restaurant
Red-sauce tradition meets Venice in a celebratory but casual way. The Rice Ball (an arancino packed with meat sauce, peas, ricotta, and mozzarella) is the dish everyone tells you to order first. From there, pappardelle with braised lamb and linguini with clams keep the momentum going in a low-lit room that feels built for lingering. The bar draws its own following, so reservations help, but arriving early works too.
