"Unless you’re new to eating in Los Angeles, you probably don’t need us to tell you about Gjusta. This Venice bakery/deli/restaurant has graced every Instagram feed, list, and lifestyle blog on earth. And it's worth the hype. Most days, you'll have to wait in line to place your order at the counter. But that just gives you more time to plot and scope out a table on their giant, canopied courtyard. Decide between the tomato confit sandwich or tuna conserva (honestly, order both). If you're with a group, make sure to get a healthy mix of salads, cheese, and cured meats for the table.
