    Lobster Spaghetti, Shrimp, Mascarpone, Basil, Calabrian Chilis
    Genel S.

    This is a beautiful high-end restaurant located in the Venetian Las Vegas. We came here before going to the Backstreet Boys concert at the Sphere. We ordered the Hamachi, margarita pizza, oven roasted chicken and lobster pasta. The Hamachi was so fresh and flavorful. I was expecting a little bit more of the lobster and shrimp pasta, but it was still really good. My friends ordered the pizza and roasted chicken so I did not taste that but they said that they enjoyed it. Being that this is a high-end restaurant at a restaurant on the strip in Las Vegas the service was excellent. It was definitely good food and wasn't super overpriced.

    Located in the Palazzo, Gjelina was a perfect little tucked away spot with cozy feels. I was celebrating my birthday and they made it so special from the food dishes, a speciality mocktail from the bartender himself and even a special birthday moment. The service was great, food was tasty and my parents enjoyed it! Will be back again.

    The best! Agnolotti
    Cosmo G.

    We really enjoyed our food! The service was amazing. The Agnolotti was amazing!!! I could eat that all day long. Pork Chop was juicy and seasoned well. Pizza, my hubby enjoyed. We skipped dessert to check out the new Gelateria that just opened. We will be back.

    Located in the Venetian, this spot had really tasty food. I wish we had more time to go back and try more dishes. We came here after attending a pool party at Tao and were pretty hungry. We did not have any reservations and were seated immediately. This place did not disappoint and ended up being one of our favorites. The server was quick to greet us and took the time to go over the menu, which we appreciated, and explained they are farm to table approach. You can really taste the quality in the ingredients. When we first arrived, the restaurant was fairly quiet, which made for a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. As the evening went on and we were finishing up, it started to pick up and feel much more lively, giving it a nice transition from calm to energetic without feeling overwhelming. My favorite was definitely the pizza. The server mentioned the dough is Napoli style, soft and chewy, and it was absolutely delicious. I do not remember all of the items, but we ordered the following: Gruyère, Caramelized Onion, Fromage Blanc, Arugula ($26) Lamb Chops, Curry Risotto, Harissa ($55) Some pasta dish Tiramisu Pistachio Chocolate Tarte Overall, it was a great post-party meal and I would definitely come back to try more of the menu.

    Gjelina is a very nice new American style restaurant and bar located on restaurant row in the Venetian Hotel/Casino. The brunch, lunch, and dinner menus they offer have raw seafood, salads, fancy side vegetables, sandwiches, hand made pastas, wood fired pizzas, entrees, and they also offer weekend breakfast plates too. The restaurant is large and attractive with multiple dining areas. The silverware is very well polished here. They do offer many interesting vegetable side dishes. We tried the Oyster Mushrooms with guajillo rub, and cilantro-avocado emulsion. We both thought the mushrooms were delicious. I almost wish I had a taco shell to go with them because they taste like a very good taco filling. My husband enjoyed the Cured Chorizo Pizza. He said that it was very good. I tried the Blackened Sea Bass Sandwich with black garlic aioli, slaw, and house made chips. It was very good but impossible to eat. The sandwich is packed so high that it is impossible to get in your mouth. I removed some fish from the sandwich to make it smaller. I also cut the sandwich in half. Then I had maybe an inch of firm sliced vegetables that were called slaw to bite through. That also was very difficult because the vegetables were sliced very thick and were very firm. I was going to eat the vegetables separate but couldn't because they were too tangy for my palate but good in the sandwich mixed with everything else. Our waiter did check on us and I told him that it was difficult to bite through the vegetables in this sandwich. I suggested that they cut them finer and he thanked me and said it was a good suggestion. The service was very good. Plates were cleared, silverware was replaced, and beverages were filled quickly.

    The avocado toast with that burrata!

    REVIEW #1800!! I wasn't expecting this to be as good as it was. I've been to the Venice location and didn't love it - so sceney and more about the experience than the food. But this was really nice. We came for Easter brunch. The hostess asked if we were celebrating anything and that was a bizarre question given that it was Easter morning... off to a weird start. We were shown to one of those ubiquitous banquette booth situations but they were actually spacing people out, which was nice and unusual. Most of the time in Vegas right now, you ARE going to be sitting practically on top of another two-top regardless of how busy the place is. There was a special Easter menu with a handful of interesting options. We started with the deviled eggs, which we are wont to do. Usually, these SOUND great on paper but aren't good in actuality. These beauties were actually delicious, with just the right amount of mustard and a trout roe topping that was fresh tasting and not at all fishy. We ordered off the regular brunch menu for our mains. I chose the avocado toast, which came with a delicious topping of fresh burrata. Burrata for me is hit or miss... if done right, it's wonderful, but most of the time it's cold and flavorless. This was clearly fresh and absolutely made the entire dish. My partner had the fried chicken sandwich, which was also good. But the starter and my avocado toast were the winners. Our server was lovely. Friendly, professional and gave excellent recommendations. This was a nice surprise and we will definitely be having dinner here on an upcoming trip. Approved!

    Amazing food, amazing staff! I absolutely love the burger, and apps. A great spot to stop in for lunch, dinner, even breakfast, try the blueberry pankcakes and omelet. Nice ambiance and you can take in the game too! Cheers Gjelina!

    Gjelina in Abbot Kinney has been on my list of places to try forever and was excited to discover they opened a location inside the Venetian. Took the opportunity to head here for a quick lunch during our annual CNY trip. Though we had reservations, we ended up waiting an additional 10 minutes before being seated. Started off with a 2 salads which came out pretty quickly. Both the beet and the arugula salads were tasty and were tossed with the perfect amount of salad dressing. Next out came the orechiette pasta which was just ok in my opinion. Then came both pizzas (chorizo and mushroom) which had the perfect amount of char and blistering but didn't think the dough had much flavor. Thought the chorizo was a tad bit too oily and salty to my liking. The mushroom pizza was the star of the meal. Mashed potatoes were just ok and quite enjoyed the brussel sprouts. Service was spot on and appreciated them expediting our order so that I could head back to the room and finish my afternoon meetings.

    We stopped here for lunch while waiting for our room to be ready. We sat at the bar and were taken care of by Amanda and Jeremy, who were both wonderful, friendly, attentive, and impressively fast with service despite it being a busy time. For food, we ordered the Gruyere pizza and Brussels sprouts, both of which hit the spot. Everything was well-balanced and flavorful without being heavy. To drink, we had a Sancerre white wine and an Aperol, which paired perfectly with the food and made for a light, refreshing lunch. Overall, it was an easy, enjoyable stop. Great service, food, and exactly what we needed to kick off the trip. Would absolutely come back!

    Market Green Salad
    Denise V.

    Grabbed a group lunch at Gjelina during our stay at the Venetian in Vegas. It was very pretty inside. We ordered a couple items to share for the table. The market green salad was just alright, it needed some flavor or dressing, just something. The Turkey sandwich was really good. The cacio de pepe pasta was also good. The roasted cauliflower was amazing, a favorite of the whole table. Also ordered the ginger lemonade (not pictured) and loved it, very refreshing. Service was really friendly and attentive. A bit on the higher priced side, but it's Vegas.

    Sticky toffee pudding with ginger ice cream.  Amazing!!
    Trish S.

    We decided to try out this restaurant based on it's convenient location (inside our hotel) and the menu. Such an incredible find! The service was attentive and friendly. The atmosphere was chic comfort. The food far exceeded our expectations. The dessert of Sticky Toffee Pudding with a sharp ginger ice cream was so good it was a much an experience as a dish. Everything was craveable.

    I was staying at Palazzo and I walked by this on the way to the Venetian Casino. I saw that they had a woodfired pizza oven and homemade pasta, so I stopped by. The restaurant itself is usually pretty packed, but there were some open seats at the bar so I sat there. The staff were attentive in the vibe was cozy. I ended up ordering pickled vegetables and the chorizo pizza. The food was excellent, the staff were attentive, and they had a good wine selection that was fairly priced. If you don't wanna go outside the Venetian complex for Italian, this is a great spot. Next time I'm there, I'm going to try the homemade pasta.

    Arugula salad
    Ika I.

    Freshest ingredients and wonderful services! We tried Gjelina for the first time after we finished a show at the Venetian. Overall, we really enjoyed our dinner and would recommend it to everyone. Located in the Venetian hotel on the restaurant row near the theater, the restaurant offers farm to table fresh ingredients in mainstream American cuisine. When we arrived, the hostess greeted us warmly and we were seated right away. The menu was simple with salad, pizza, homemade pasta, and meat dishes. We ordered the arugula salad, beet salad, and a mushroom truffle pizza to share among us. Serving size was generous and the salad was fresh and light. The pizza had a mild truffle flavor and it was the perfect size for two people. As for the services and ambiance, our service was quick and our waiters were very attentive with our beverages. The dining area is well laid out for intimate date nights and larger party sizes. Our bill came to $75 before tips, which we felt was an excellent value for the meal. I wish they will be expanding the menu to add more fresh fish among the mixes. Highly recommend!
