Charcoal Venice is an inviting neighborhood restaurant from Michelin-starred Chef and Owner Josiah Citrin that was inspired by the backyard barbecues he hosts on weekends for his friends and family. As the name suggests, everything is cooked indoors over live fire – whether over charcoal or in the coals. Citrin and Chef de Cuisine Dani McNish prepare a seasonal menu of craveable comfort foods featuring locally-sourced proteins and vegetables ideal for sharing family-style. Whether diving into a platter of smoky grilled chicken wings with a beer or classic cocktail at the bar, or splitting a 48 oz. dry-aged Porterhouse and a bottle of Bandol with friends, Charcoal Venice is an everyday dining spot.

We take pride in our great selection of wines, craft cocktails, and mocktails, ensuring there’s something for every taste.

The most delicious turkey we have ever eaten for Thanksgiving dinner. The salmon was flavorful as well, and the portions were generous, and we had leftovers.

This was probably one of the best Thanksgiving meals I’ve had in my life. Charcoal raises the bar for a holiday meal, as my expectations from other places in the past have been a high price paired with average food and you feel like you got robbed because the restaurant was taking advantage of the holiday with a pre-fixe menu. In this case, it was a fair price for a high quality and delicious experience matched with friendly professional service.
