"A lot of people in Venice seem to have the kind of job that allows them to take three-hour lunches (probably because they just sold their new networking app to the cloud, or however it works). If you are not one of those people, you will probably not be having lunch at Gjelina today. But if you’re in the mood for one of their sandwiches or pizza, there’s hope - skip the lines and order from GTA next door. The slimmed-down menu has most of the Gjelina classics, as well as some stuff you can only get there - so you can take your pork meatball sandwich back to your desk and eat like your IPO depends on it." - jess basser sanders, amy clark
