Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Juan Hernandez

From the OpenTable editors: Open since 2008, Venice’s Gjelina still turns out some of the best seasonal, vegetable-forward food in the city—not to mention excellent thin and charred wood-fired pizzas that you’ll spot on every table. Snag a table by the windows to watch the world go by on Abbot Kinney while you sip a glass of Albariño and dig into dishes like grilled oyster mushrooms with tarragon butter or coal-roasted conehead cabbage with bagna cauda.

Food was ok . The restaurant doesn’t serve cocktails. What disappointed me the most was that for 1 person the seating options were a communal table or a dark non decorated terrace

We returned for brunch because they have the best lemon ricotta pancakes on the planet. And even in December the weather outside is beautiful. I'm looking forward to returning for dinner one day

When service is included, already it allows your table waiters to be poor and rude.NOT GOOD1 Once you do that service should be trained to be impecable, prompt and courteous. I suggest you go to Hillstone in SM to learn how service should work.

The BEST veggie dishes with amazing flavors. We tried a new (to us) one today: Bok choy with garlic confit...so delish. Followed by one of the best pizzas in the city...well, actually any of theirs with the most thin crust and puffy charred edges are divine. Yum.
