- Price range: $$$$ ($26-$30)
This tiny beachside trattoria is like a microcosm of Venice Beach itself. It’s off the beaten path, it’s earnest and earthy, and everyone involved is very proprietary about it. Case in point, the owners recently took on Zagat, requesting that the restaurant be dropped from the survey. All pastas are house-made, including squid ink garganelli and mini ravioli richly stuffed with beef and kale. Duck prosciutto is also homemade and equally swoon-inducing.
