Best Italian in Westwood for sure. As a UCLA alum, I have tried every restaurant over the past four years in Westwood. I have seen many places come and go. However price of Venice is easily top 3 places I have had in westwood. Pizza - 4/5. Not much of a pizza you have come to know. More like a flatbread. No sauce. Pasta - 5/5. I would definitely get the pasta. The one with bacon (I think called vodka) is absolutely delicious and the best thing on their menu.
We were there for a birthday celebration. We were a party of 13 people. They accommodated us very well. They have a nice courtyard lit with fairy light in the plaza inside. Furthermore, the chef was kind enough to make us the chicken pesto pizza from scratch even though it was not in the menu because many people in the group didn’t eat pork and beef. He even came later and asked us how the food was. It turned out to be very good. The vegetable pizza was also really delicious. We had a really good time here. Highly recommend this place.
The food is good, the price is great and the portion is nice. Their pasta noodles are unique, and I like it.
They have their back patio open for outdoor dining and the setup is beautiful The pasta comes pretty fast but it's also served piping hot! Lots of seating and very well spread apart. The service is very friendly especially if you're not very familiar with various pastas. I got the maccheroni bolognese, the sauce was not too overpowering for my palette so I was able to enjoy the cheese and meat flavors. Well portioned and filling.
Prince of Venice is an excellent Italian restaurant offering classic dishes such as lasagna, rice balls, and shrimp pasta with marinara sauce. Their lasagna is a standout, with perfectly cooked pasta and flavorful meat sauce. The rice balls are crispy and delicious, while the shrimp pasta is a must-try for seafood lovers. The ambiance is elegant, the service is attentive, and the food is delicious.
UCLA, you're lucky to have such an amazing Italian restaurant nearby. Protect it at all cost! I've heard about it from a friend and she said they have affordable and authentic Italian food so my mom and I checked it out. We came on a Sunday afternoon. The vibe is casual yet cozy. The menu is small and straightforward...Pastas, Romanian Style Pizzas and some desserts. The pasta was cooked to order. We had CARBONARA and BOLOGNESE. Wow, the pasta was fresh and cooked al dente. Generous portions. It was one of the best pasta dishes we've ever had. We also tried their SAUSAGE and MUSHROOM PIZZA. Generous with the toppings and the dough was soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside. Perfect!! It didn't need anymore condiment or whatsoever! Food was served in a timely manner and service was great! Highly recommend it!
Great pizza! Loved the soft crust and quality ingredients. We had pepperoni, cheese and veggie. Slices were generous and the staff is friendly. Easy to pick up and go.
Love this place. Nice courtyard in the back. Food is really good. That Italian pochata pizza
