Ryan Kelly: Mushroom, goat cheese and truffle oil pizza will blow your mind! Also the mushroom toast and any of the Burrata plates. Don't forget the Butterscotch!!
Alison Iris: Mushroom, goat cheese, truffle oil pizza...mmm, yes! - a new yorker
Regine Rafael: Obviously the mushroom, goat cheese & truffle oil pizza is to die for. And their gelato is out of this world!
Rachel Mercer: Amazing happy hour here with good outdoor seating. Come with a friend to split an early dinner! Lambwich is a safe, delicious bet and if you're a cheese fiend the goat cheese hot bowl is spectacular.
Lee Simpson: Best place to drink wine in Venice, bar none. Go the happy hour and order one of everything except the Herbed Goat Cheese Hot Pot, get two of those!
Claudia: Addicted to Brie and Grape pressed sandwich...super delish with truffle oil

Apurva Limaye: Don't forget to stop by 'Morison Apartments'. This is where Jim lived in LA!
