Market is a neighborhood restaurant located in one of the oldest buildings in Venice. The food is a modern twist on Italian cuisine - light, refreshing and fun. The cocktail program is inspired by some unsung Italian liqueurs.
“This was our first time at the Market Restaurant, even though we live only about 10 miles away. Our experience was great! The service was excellent! Everyone from the greeters at the front desk to the serving staff! All were prompt, professional, and very personable! It made for a fun evening. Also, the food was excellent! Based on our servers suggestions we shared several dishes, including the Endive salad, Steak (cooked perfectly), side potatoes and brocolini. Plus the atmoshphere is great! If you sit at the outside dining area, you are only a half block from the beach, with a nice breeze. Yet, they have plenty of space heaters, and even blankets on the chairs should it get a little chilly later in the evening. We are ready looking forward to coming back to this restaurant with some friends. I highly recommend!”
“I just went for the first time and it may be my new favorite restaurant in LA! Service was great and we tried nearly the whole menu and everything was 10/10! Tons of great cocktail options as well! Some notable favorites were the salmon crudo and burratta to start and for mains I loved everything we got - spicy vodka and bolognese pasta and the steak. The Caesar and broccolini were also incredible! Can’t wait to come back!”
“One of the best meals I’ve had in a long time! From the moment I walked in, the service was outstanding. Kenny was incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable, and made me feel right at home. He really enhanced the experience with his recommendations. The Negroni was easily one of the best I’ve ever had, perfectly balanced and so smooth. The food was exceptional. Enjoyed the pasta and steak dishes, both cooked beautifully. The squash blossoms were a standout, the focaccia bread was warm and delicious, and the olive oil cake for dessert was the perfect way to end the meal. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Will definitely be back soon. Highly recommend this gem!”
“An easy 5 stars all around. The service was so warm and attentive, giving us great recommendations and taking care of us from start to finish. We sat outside on a warm night, under the lights, with a glimpse of Venice beach and a stunning pink sunset. The cocktails are pricey but some of the best we’ve had. The pasta was TO DIE FOR, particularly the Lumache. Already looking forward to going back!”
“Beautiful restaurant just a short walk from the beach — perfect for a birthday dinner or date night. The ambience is warm and stylish, and the service was genuinely excellent from start to finish. We stuck to vegetarian dishes and didn’t try any cocktails. The menu is limited but thoughtfully done. The focaccia was soft and flavorful, a good start. The standout dish was the cabbage with chili oil — likely Asian-inspired, perfectly balanced, and something I’d absolutely order again. The beets were great too. We tried two pastas: • The vodka pasta was creamy, rich, and delicious, but also very heavy — definitely a dish to share. • The ravioli in cheese sauce came in a smaller portion and was lighter but still tasty. Overall, a lovely experience — great vibes, attentive service, and quality food. Next time I’d go lighter on the pasta and repeat that amazing cabbage. Reservations recommended, and they have both indoor and outdoor seating plus a full bar.”
