Country-inn fare and decor attract showbiz types and valley locals in search of authentic Venetian cuisine.

In Short
Trees strung with lights, blazing fireplaces and colorful masks decorate this Italian country inn-style eatery, which sits a stone's throw from Universal Studios. The Venetian cooking can't be mistaken for light Tuscan fare--entrees are hearty and filling and adorned with fresh Parmesan or mozzarella cheese--and are typified by gnocchi or the slow-roasted lamb shank. From the selection of homemade desserts, the rich vanilla-creme custard is especially popular.
