Gjelina Los Angeles Reviews
This place is great.
Staff is lovely and welcoming and food is great. I definitely recommend this place if your looking for a trendy and elegant restaurant.
Fantastic spot! Where do I begin? I loved the anglioti.
We also really enjoyed the salad we ordered. Genuinely everything is so delicious. Didn't get to try dessert yet. That's how good the food is.,., parking is a bit tricky but manageable. I highly recommend it.

Had a really disappointing experience here that left a bad taste, and honestly felt borderline discriminatory. We came in as a party of two (we're Asian), and were told the wait would be about 45 minutes. Totally fine we added our name to the l
I haven't been here in a while and now I recall why.
I had to wait 35 minutes for a table past my reservation time. Our server took another 15 minutes before he could bring water to the table and then disappeared before we could order. I would say the pizza I ordered was good, but there are many pl
Came for a dinner event with preselected meal options.
The salads were fresh and very tasty. The pizza was also very good, especially the crust. The broccolini was so flavorful while the carrots were a slight miss on the cooked temp. The pasta ravioli and meat pasta were so flavorful as well. The butters

I travelled all the way from Orange County because of a meeting and one of the Caucasian waitress as well as one of the Caucasian hosts were super rude and you can see in the way they look at you plus the side eye. These women need not be racist!
Loved the meal I had here the other night.
Decided to take my family here due to it coming up on pretty much every best restaurants in LA list and it recent addition to the eater all time best restaurant list. As a meat and potatoes kind of guy, I was a little hesitant coming here since i

Excellent brunch! After 10am is the sweet spot with both breakfast and lunch items on the menu. Chill vibe, super helpful and attentive waitress, wait staff was excellent with quick dish pick up & coffee pours. All of the food was outstanding and
Tomato with fresh basil pizza is awesome, can't believe it
Tomato with fresh basil pizza is awesome, can't believe it doesn't need cheese! Service,always with a smile. Not super clean but they keep on top of replacing what's used and removing plates . Very small inside & a few seats again
Got racially profiled in the big '25.
FYI, everyone in our party is Asian. Our res was for 11:30 and we waited for my parents to join us but we saw a lot of seat when we got there at 11:20. They made us wait until 11:39 even though there were so many open seats. BTW, we had to wait WITH

I've only been for lunch so far, but I've heard great things all around. The CHICKEN & DUCK LIVER PATE is a must, as is the ANCHOVY & BURRATA TOAST. For something fresh, you can't go wrong with the LITTLE GEM SALAD. The crispy

I've been here before, but this visit was very disappointing. I came with a friend who has dietary restrictions due to a gut disorder. She tried to order a chicken dish but asked to have the kale and seasoning served on the side, simply on a sep
Unimpressive.
We ordered from the cafe. Two salads, one slice of pizza, two small premade smoothies and a cup of coffee. the total was $62. The salads were below average and bizarre, pizza was good and smoothies were terrible and tasted old. I would not return.
Outstanding food but service was way off.
Server insisted we order the full meal up front so he could "pace" it with the chef. Appetizer, first, and second courses all arrived within 10 minutes. Felt like we were at Chili's restaurant where they were trying to turn the table.

I had the pleasure of sitting across from a very nice couple who'd come from Italy and like myself wanted familiar food. Had they not been there I'd have given one star to this crappy place. Fortunately for Gjelina they get that second star

Service was great! I ordered a pizza with burrata on it and it was solid, i remember enjoying the burrata but I felt that their menu didn't have that many options that i was interested in.

Great pizzas! A bit pricey but good quality crust and good options. There's not a lot of room and we had to sit outside on the street but I'd go back for the pizza

The vibe here has a trendy atmosphere and rustic charm, but the experience doesn't fully live up to the setting. Walking in, the host stand is way too close to the door and you're awkwardly standing outside and having to move out of the way

We ate at Gjelina yesterday, and while the food and atmosphere were great as always, our server XOCHITL was flat-out TERRIBLE. She acted like she hated being there. Every interaction was cold, forced, and indifferent. At a restaurant of this caliber
came here for Sunday brunch, there were three of us.
Our one friend was running late coming in from Orange County. We asked to be seated and said we would order something immediately an appetizer and some cocktails while we waited for a friend and they said absolutely not we had to wait till everyone i

One of the great restaurants in Venice! Also on my favorite block in the neighborhood where other great retailers and restaurants are. I personally enjoyed the oyster mushrooms and their crudo plates. I am not a big fan of pizza but their pizza reall

"Sorry, can't administer the "Heimlich maneuver" because it's not on the menu." Allergies (and preferences) be damned, if you don't want their food as they envisioned its perfection, they won't change it. And
We got seated on the rooftop deck.
The weather was beautiful and vibes were great. We ordered the lamb pizza, mussels and clams and maple bacon. Our server was really helpful and attentive at helping us choose our dishes. We really enjoyed the clams and mussels. Pizza was pretty good

Very nice dinner our server Jordan was very tentative and kept service flowing. We ordered several small bites that were coursed out perfectly. I recommend reservations they were able to get us a table after a brief wait atmosphere and food was spot
Damned, it was good.
Wife & I had an amazing brunch. Service was outstanding & the setting in their courtyard patio made the whole meal feel special. The burrata was incredible... especially paired with peaches & balsamic. The ham on it was lovely... the sm
Absolutely delicious.
First ate here a month or so back. Have been back since and will go again. I was surprised to see the reviews here. No way this is a 3.5 star spot. Maybe 4.5. We had house cured chorizo pizza, the oxtail pasta and the cacio e pepe. Loved the cacio e
Good for pizza and wine on Abbot Kinney
The pizza you can find in LA, so good. Also nice spot, recommend to book in advance as it is busy everyday! I got lucky enough to get a table walking in
Absolutely Disgraceful – Zero Flexibility, Especially with Kids
We came to Gjelina with high hopes and four hungry kids — and left completely stunned by the arrogance and inflexibility of the staff. All we asked for was one simple dish: plain pasta for one of our kids. No sauces, no sides, no special ingredient
Worst case scenario, staff part of a scheme, although John seems to be the schemer, staff are more involved than you thi
Horrific experience. The staff are part of a scheme with John. He knows the owner and invites people to this restaurant, be super careful.
Fine Dinning in Venice, LA
Excellent choice, very vegetarian friendly, very pricey. Smooth service. Reservations essential. Do not miss the warm pate on baguette.
For a special occasion
I had a very good meal with interesting choices of dishes. The ambiance is quite classy but maintains a young atmosphere. A little bit pricey but the quality of the dishes is superior
Decent bakery
I bought baked goods from the bakery. Did not dine there. Everything I purchased was fresh but I wasn’t bowled over by anything. Food is solid but not spectacular.
Not worth the attitude
Food is generally good, but the attitude of the staff is that you're lucky to eat there, the mandatory 20% tip + asking for more is obnoxious after the attitude you have dealt with, and the ego of the chef to refuse ANY substitutions (seriously,
Expensive food, indifferent service
Was really looking forward to my meal here but to begin they seated us on the terrasse on a cold night which was ridiculous. Secondly, the service was very cold, indifferent . Wine service was nonexistent, which is a shame as they have a nice list. F
Delicious small plates
We ate here on a Wednesday night. We had reservations for 9 pm, but we got there early and were seated 50 minutes early! The menu is mainly small plates, which we shared. We had mushroom pizza, lamb sausage pizza, sweet potatoes, passion fruit tart,
Came here Sunday lunch.
It was amazing! Started with the oysters (love the fresh shaved horseradish, mignonette, and cocktail sauce) and then moved to the Escarole salad (11/10) followed by the snap peas, steak tartare and finished with the four onion pizza! There wasn't r

I had a great first experience at Gjelina.
The baklava croissant was amazing, highly recommended Gjelina. The atmosphere and outdoor garden was a great place to sit in the sun.
I went there with a group of people.
Everyone talks about Gjelina, so we decided to give a shot. Really overrated. Food and ambience. And service... there was one person covering a large area, so we had to talk to 3 other people who were trying to figure out where the waitress was... an

Food is good however Gjelina has lost care for patrons.
They have a no modifications policy which I wasn't aware of. It's no where to be found on their website or website menu. Before I could finish asking if they could omit the prosciutto from a salad, the waitress very tersely cut me off "no modifi
This place is solid.
A must eat location in Venice. I had my birthday there and I was stoked! Definitely check it out, great wine, pizza and desserts.
I think Gjelina makes the best pizzas in LA.
And I should know having lived in New Haven, Connecticut, for four years. If you like our style. The crust is perfect and the toppings as sophisticated as you want or don't. Combine that with a whole bunch of scene-stealing dishes just three of which

Went for dinner with my son and husband for my husband's birthday. Guess we should have checked reviews first. We dine out a lot and never have experienced such pretentious, rude, poor service especially considering the high prices and mandatory 20%
Super trendy spot in a super trendy area.
Still feels somewhat relatable and dressed down. Sat outside and people watched, lovely spot. The pizza was delicious, each bite was complex and different. Each bite was its own experience. The service was very casual but really attentive and respo

Connect with users posting reservations for Gjelina Los Angeles
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Gjelina Los Angeles. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Gjelina Los Angeles at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Gjelina Los Angeles page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* PerceptiveWash44, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* PerceptiveWash44 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to PerceptiveWash44 for any questions Peter may have as PerceptiveWash44 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* PerceptiveWash44 now uses their connections at Gjelina Los Angeles to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If PerceptiveWash44 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, PerceptiveWash44 receives the $200 reward which is credited to PerceptiveWash44's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Gjelina Los Angeles!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
