What do you think of when you hear the word Venice? Some say incredible shopping experiences on Abbot Kinney, and others say the beach with crazy characters. While all of that is true, we often think about all the delicious eateries. Whether it be brunch, lunch, or dinner, here are the best restaurants in Venice, just a short drive away from your VIDA apartments for rent in Studio City.
The Best Restaurants in Venice
Felix
The first spot on our list is pasta-lively excellent. Felix is actually one of our favorite pasta spots in LA around the corner from your Studio City apartments for rent. It is located on Abbot Kinney and features a very cool glassed-in pasta-making room. That’s right; you can watch people make pasta while you eat pasta! Must-try items are the Trofie pasta with basil pesto and the Rigatoni all’Amatriciana.
Gjusto
Living in Los Angeles gives you your fair share of delis. That includes Gjusta. They’ve got a fantastic pastrami lox and baklava croissant, perfect for brunch. People all over LA come for the breakfast bialy sandwich. All the burger lovers living in Studio City at VIDA should give their burger a try as well.

South End
Our next spot will always have a pizza of our hearts. South End pizza serves up our favorite Neapolitan-style pizzas. There is a very high chance that while dining here, your waiter will hand you a glass of wine on the house! Our favorite pizza on the menu is the Boardwalk, topped with arugula and an egg in the middle.
Butcher’s Daughter
Venice would not be Venice without a bunch of vegan restaurants. One of them is Butcher’s Daughter. They’ve got wellness lattes and a variety of vegan pizzas. Our favorite item on the menu, hands down, is the Pad Thai with a scrambled egg.
The Rose
It seems right to end this list with The Rose. This American cafe and bakery is a longtime Venice resident. It opened in 1979 and was revamped in 2015. During the rebuild, it was transformed into a multi-concept dining megastore. There is a bakery, a to-go counter, a coffee bar, a full liquor bar, a studying area, and of course, a small patio area. There is an all-day breakfast sandwich with an egg inside that we highly suggest ordering.
