Back to Old Venice Unique italian spot in Pt. Loma area of San Diego We visited this restaurant on a Saturday night with our daughter who goes to college nearby. They don't take reservations for less than 10 people so we waited about 40 minutes in the bar which was a little loud, but our dinner later in the dining room was superb. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was very nice. My daughter had the veal, my husband had the chicken piccata and I had the cannelloni. All 3 were very good. Freshly baked bread accompanies the entrees.
Reviewed by: A Yahoo! Contributor from on Sep 26 2005 Food good, service lousy The food is always a safe bet, especially the pizzas and salads. The service ranges from barely moderate to fairly atrocious. The service in the bar is among the worst I have ever experienced. When I go to spend my hard earned money for an evening dining experience, I like to feel that my patronage is appreciated to some degree, especially being a repeat customer as often as I have been. I no longer bother.

Reviewed by: A Yahoo! Contributor from on Aug 12 2004 My wife and I enjoyed our rehersal dinner at Old Venice. Absolutely fantastic...from pasta/risotto to the freshest fish and hand tossed pizza, Old Venice is a Point Loma oasis. We enjoy the atmosphere in the bar, marble as far as the eye can see as well as a fire place that will warm your insides. The staff is most attentive and the sounds in the bar very contemporary. Thank you for all that you do...

Imagine high quality Italian food and a decent wine list with friendly, low key staff. It's the perfect neighborhood restaurant for "date night" with your spouse or significant other. Leave the kids at home and remember your honeymoon in Tuscany.....
