Old Venice Restaurant, Cafe & Bar

The Scene
Candle lights flicker in the all-white interior, save for a few spriggs of lavender, where romantic, hanging chandeliers and iron wall sconces also contribute to the overall warmth. White iron tables huddle on the brick patio out back with twinkle lights wound around many twisting tree branches. It is neighborhood elegance defined. Pizza is the favorite among Point Loma regulars who want a simple pie taken a bit upscale with fresh basil and seasonal toppings, but it's the classic italian specialities that make this a romance destination for sweethearts everywhere. Whether it's sharing a plate of chicken Marsala and a carafe of the house chianti, or lingering over real italian cappuccinno by the fireplace, the food and the space are the perfect backdrop for a heart-to-heart.
