History
The Venetian Italian Restaurant was founded in 1965. It is owned and operated by the Giacolone family of Point Loma. The Venetian isn't just popular with the young families, even older couples make it a regular destination. Drop in here any night and you're likely to see local restauranteurs and chefs, TV personalities and the occasional restaurant critic - all attracted to the mix of hospitality, well-prepared italian food and relaxed setting.
The small bar generally has a handful of folks watching a ballgame, catching up with friends or waiting for takeout pizza over a margarita or draft beer. Nearby, couples cuddle in booths while large parties take over the tables in the patio. Standout dishes include chicken or veal marsala, chicken picatta and a special baked halibut - followed by one of the top tiramisus in town. The place gets noisy at times, but that just adds to the homely feel of this fine Point Loma establishment.
