Born and raised in Florence, he grew up learning that as a local, one would go dining in the little Osterias where everything was made fresh daily, prepared with basic ingredients, simple recipes, delightful flavors and lots of love, for a fantastic experience that was also "gentle" on your wallet.No Out-Door dining. STAY SAFE!

One of LA’s best Italian restaurants, Locanda Veneta aims to transport you to Venice, Italy. Where the freshest and often deceptively simplest ingredients are combined and cooked into art. The cozy room, often dotted with celebs, is elegant but there’s nothing fussy about the menu. Here you’ll find favorites such as a fresh-vegetable minestrone; wild mushroom risotto; and spinach and ricotta cheese gnocchi. Garlic, fresh herbs and olive oil dress many of the pasta, meat and fish dishes; and the veal scaloppini gets a different preparation every night. When an Italian spot is as classic as this, how can you skip a dessert of tiramisu? Our extensive wine list complements your meal, with selections mainly from Italy, France and California.

    First time dining at KTT. I had been there before but only for a Tiki Marketplace. Agree with many of the other positive reviews. Great service, food, and potent drinks. The rum float is no joke. We had early reservations, and this helped with the noise level as it wasn't crowded. Would love to go back and get a table out in the main bar area as the two guitarists were wonderful!!!! I could have listened to them all night. The restaurant was very gracious and was able to accommodate my request to be seated in a particular booth. Thank you again Kahuna Tiki Tu. 🥰🙏🍹
