The pizza had the perfect balance of crisp crust and quality toppings, and everything tasted like it was made with real care and attention. You can tell they take pride in what comes out of the kitchen. Our waitress, Tracey, was exceptional. She was warm, attentive, and genuinely kind without hovering. She anticipated what we needed before we even had to ask and made the entire experience feel personal and relaxed. Service like that makes all the difference. The ambience is cozy yet elevated, with a welcoming energy that works just as well for a casual dinner as it does for a special night out. Between the food, the service, and the overall atmosphere, it was a five star experience. I will absolutely be back.

My booth seating was very comfortable. I started with the matzo ball soup. I have to say it was gigantic - I could have made it an entire meal. But I managed to save room for a pastrami sandwich. Their pastrami is my favorite meal. Really fresh rye bread loaded with tender and perfectly seasoned pastrami. Even though I was rather full from the soup I had no problem finishing off the delicious pastrami sandwich. Parking here is always good. If their lot is full there is plenty of street parking. I try and stop by here every time I'm nearby.

And this is how it was one night after eating dinner at another restaurant nearby...the enticing-looking slices at Gjelina Take Away beckoned, and I answered the call. Considering Gjelina proper is one of the more difficult restaurants to get into if you don't plan in advance, being able to get a taste of their deliciousness at the adjacent take-away version is a gift to us all. Their Pomodoro pie (think perfectly thin and crispy crust, generous size, and tomatoes galore on top) looked out of control, so we got a slice. Add burrata cheese? Oh, yes, please do that. And they did, and we ended up with this glorious Naples / NYC slice fusion that delighted my post-dinner pizza joie de vivre. There is plenty for vegetarians at Gjelina Takeaway, including some delights from the main Gjelina menu, other slices, and more. Oh, Gjelina Take Away - we took away...and we will keep it with us...always.

Nothing infuriates me more than when I order a sandwich and it immediately falls apart because the…read morebread is too thin or the liquids inside are too wet. I ordered the turkey sandwich and within 3 minutes of receiving it, the bread got soggy from the inside and half the ingredients spilled out, making a sloppy mess on my plate. It basically became a turkey salad with soggy bread mixed in. The quality was good and fresh, but I will not tolerate poor sandwich bread integrity, especially when it's $18. The more expensive the sandwich, the more irritated I get when it instantly turns into soup upon holding it for a bite. I like Gjelina for other items on the menu. Service is good. Location is nice for Venice. But I'll never order a sandwich here again until they toast the bread or use thicker slices to maintain sandwich firmness.

I'm an OG Ciccero's customer. They had one menu item I was partial to in either the late 90's or…read moreearly 2000's, which was a shrimp salad with noodles, on a bed of lettuce, vegetables, and the biggest grilled shrimp you would ever see. It was my go to, and it was delicious. I was prepared to give Ciccero's another try via a delivery app and 5-stars, but unfortunately, I noticed a discrepancy after I posted my initial review. I ordered The Original Burger with fries ($1 extra for fries) and the Santa Fe Shrimp Salad with garlic bread and a soda. Upon receipt of my order, I decided to try my salad first. It was good. Romaine lettuce, red cabbage, shredded carrots, shredded cheese, corn, grape tomatoes, jumbo grilled shrimp (cooked perfectly) - no red pepper or red onions for me. My salad was fresh, crisp and delicious. I ate a good 3/4 of it. The garlic bread is a great accompaniment. I saw another review from someone who also ordered a Santa Fe Salad. I noticed black beans on their salad. There weren't any on mine. I went back to the menu. They were supposed to put jicama (which I love) in my salad. No jicama. The other reviewer's portion was heaping. Mine was not. My salad looked like an afterthought compared to theirs. My food wasn't free, so there is no reason the portions should not be consistent for all customers. If this is how Ciccero's operates, count me out. As for the burger, I do not like the way it was dressed. The patty was huge. They should've put the lettuce, tomatoes and pickles underneath the patty, because whenever I went to take a bite, the burger fell apart. This was after I cut it in half. The fries are not regular fries, but potato wedges. Very good, but not what was pictured nor what I expected. Ciccero's has some changes to make if they want to continue to solicit orders on delivery apps.

The chefs are cooking delicious hot foods from India and Mexico, from biryanis to burritos on homemade flour tortillas. They are baking from scratch great French Baguettes daily (and selling them for only $2.00 each). And, on those lovely baguettes they are making fantastic deli sandwiches and selling them for less than nine dollars each. High-quality Boarshead meats and cheeses are used. I had a moist, tender and flavorful Italian meatball sub with a yummy homemade marinara and melted provolone cheese on one of those baguettes and it was about 8" long! I ended up having three meals from it. The large blackboard with sandwich and salad offerings gives you an idea of what to order. United Kitchen is open from 9 to 9 for coffee and espresso drinks, and you can treat yourself to a fresh almond croissant to go with your drink, or if juices and smoothies are your morning jam they have plenty of them, too. There's lots of ready-made sides, like cubed watermelon ($2.00) and rice pudding. There will be wine and beer served from the lounge in the near future. Front umbrella patio tables. Parking in back is free and you can enter from the back. This is a new business so come on in, support their endeavors and you'll be rewarded with a very friendly welcome.

The old bagel crust might've been more filling, but it did not have the flavor and texture that the new pizza has. Every bite! I like Steve and The Venice church parking lot Pizza also but it's nowhere close to the flavor that the new Abbots Pizza is offering. if you haven't been, and you're just reading reviews, go and enjoy a real true New York slice!

I get the breakfast burrito every single time and every single time it is one of the most delicious things I have eaten. The people are always super nice and bring our food out to us insanely fast! The outdoor eating area is where we always sit and it's a really cozy spot to enjoy your food, drink some coffee, and read a book or get some work done. It is also usually very clean out there for an outdoor spot surrounded by trees, which is obviously appreciated. There are a lot of other amazing menu items as well, I just stick to the same thing because it's so damn good. I highly recommend coming here- we come at least once a month if not more!
