Little Venice

Decided meet a friend for a lunch in front of the beach and Little Venice was the place she knew so I decided to try also.
I ordered a Grilled /​chicken salad. She ordered a Pannini.
Even being very busy, our drinks came fast and also the coffee we ordered.
Our food were very good, fresh, good price and our server, Tanya was extremely nice, friendly, always checking on us — and everybody else.
For sure we are coming back.
Atmosphere was great outside!

Good food. Horrible service. Asked for refills twice during the meal (45 minutes), never got them. Asked for extra butter when the food was delivered. It never came. Had to wait 25 minutes from getting the bill to pay. Absolutely the worst service on the Hollywood Boardwalk.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE AT ALL. I don’t normally leave reviews but this place was absolutely awful. We ordered eggs, toast and hash browns and it took more than 30 minutes! There were only about 5 other tables full and the service was so incredibly slow. When we finally got our food, IT WAS COLD!!! To top it off, my mimosa was $ 9.50 made with fake freezer orange juice. While we were waiting for our food, 3 tables left and the other surrounding tables were also complaining about the service. There were only 2 of us and our waitress had included a tip of $ 3.50 when our check was $ 25. Probably because they knew that no one was going to tip. These people obviously get business because it’s on the boardwalk but please keep walking when you see this place.

We ordered pizza, beyond my expectations for Hollywood Boardwalk standard. The service bit slow and it seems that way in HB area! I would come back for pizza!

I’ll just reiterate what I read in another review: tourist trap! We had just checked into our hotel room and I was starving so we decided to walk along the broadwalk to grab some food. Restaurant employees seem to stand outside of some of these places trying to attract guests and advertise their food. Kind of like a sales pitch like those people you see at the mall that want to give you a «free» manicure.
The food was edible, I’ll give it that but there was NOTHING SPECIAL about it. The waitress was friendly but also seemed to be friendly with the construction workers that stopped by for lunch from their site a couple blocks away. When the workers left, the waitresses started YELLING for them to come back. There are also annoying birds that come up to the table continuously while you try to eat.
The best part of eating here is the view.

Pizza with a view!
Friendly staff; I sat down at a prime table in the front and enjoyed a slice of pizza with garlic rolls. Pizza was good and loved they serve it by the slice. Garlic rolls could have been softer but had lots of garlic and butter.
Not bad at all…

Prices aren’t terrible, there is a great view of the beach, and the seating is on cool shade. That is the highlight of this restaurant.
I had the veal parmigiano sub with fries. The veal was overcooked and very chewy and the tomato sauce was rather bland. The fries as a side were good though. My girlfriend had the Italian cold cut sub and salad. The sub had maybe two pieces of meat on it.
As for the wait service, another waitress had to come bring us our check and water refills. They first waitress wasn’t to be found after taking our orders and bringing our food. This was at 2pm, a slow time of the day.
