Gjelina is the Italian-meets-New American hotspot that brought the idea of the impossible reservation to Venice. In a woody-rustic dining room (which wouldn’t look out of place in Aspen), dive into colorful vegetable plates, oyster platters, wood-fired pizzas, and California-sourced meats ( try the rack of lamb with red chermoula). Two blocks away is Gjusta, an affiliated bread-and-pastry bakery that serves standout egg sandwiches, smoked fish, and build-your-own pizzas.
