The Rose Venice

"Whatever kind of lunch you want to have in Venice, the Rose Cafe probably can accommodate you. This giant, all-day spot has a full-service restaurant, a coffee shop, a patio for working from and a patio for eating on, a bar, and an escape room. Okay, it doesn’t have an escape room, but Rose works for pretty much everything. If you need to scarf down a salad while you finish that report, you can use the wifi and work away in a much nicer setting than nearby coffee shops. But if you want to have a proper long lunch, you’ll probably have a good time too. Get the grilled cauliflower t-bone, which is a thing, and is actually delicious." - jess basser sanders, amy clark

"Ray Garcia has revamped the menu at The Rose, removing pizzas and adding dishes that feature seasonal produce. Highlights include a panzanella salad, mussel escabeche, and a whole grilled American wagyu New York steak." - Eater Staff

"This longtime Venice staple - and one of the best places in town to drink with your dog - also boasts an expansive outdoor seating area complete with two covered tents, all-day breakfast sandwiches, wines by the glass, and of course, rows upon rows of string lights as far as the eye can see. It is Venice, after all." - kat hong

"Brunch is essentially The Rose's reason for being. The huge interior and two patios look their best during daylight hours, there's no shortage of options on the cocktail front, and the breakfast items are all over the place in a good way. You can order a standard breakfast burrito and fruit bowl or kick off the day with dishes like Korean-style duck egg fried rice, lobster scramble, and breakfast cacio e pepe covered in grated pecorino. " - Jess Basser Sanders, Nikko Duren, Sylvio Martins

"This giant, all-day spot is a full-service restaurant, a coffee shop, and a bar, all on one big patio on Rose in Venice. They’ve got a huge menu, so focus on the pastas - especially the francobollo ravioli, with mint pesto, pine nuts, sungold tomatoes, and pickled lemons, and the sweet corn agnolotti. Make a reservation here." - brett keating, james montgomery
