Gjelina Las Vegas

Having loved the original in Venice, we were thrilled to try the new Gjelina on the Las Vegas Strip. Even tucked inside The Venetian, it still channels those chill L.A. vibes – the dining room is low‑lit and rustic, and the menu highlights the same produce‑driven, “local and seasonal whenever possible” philosophy  . We started with the Little Gem Caesar – crisp lettuce tossed in a creamy anchovy dressing with garlicky baguette croutons . Our pan‑seared salmon (paired with salsa verde and fennel salad ) stole the show; it was buttery and perfectly cooked, with a lovely char on the skin. The brussels sprouts – charred and tossed in a chili‑lime vinaigrette with toasted cashews and crispy shallots were a close runner-up. We also enjoyed the mushroom pizza, featuring Truffle Tremor cheese, fontina and thyme . For dessert we indulged in a warm sticky toffee pudding topped with extra ice cream, which was the perfect sweet finish to the meal (memorably good). What truly elevated the evening was the service. Our server Juliette was attentive without hovering. She noticed it was our anniversary and surprised us with a chilled glass of bubbly – a thoughtful gesture that made the night feel extra special. Other staff members were equally warm and chatty, guiding us through the long menu of pizzas, veggies and mains, just as reviewers have noted . Overall, the dishes ranked from most to least memorable for us were the salmon, then the Gem Caesar, the brussels sprouts, and finally the pizza. Gjelina Las Vegas lives up to its Venice roots; the kitchen turns out beautifully executed dishes and the team delivers genuine hospitality. It’s a great spot for an anniversary dinner or a leisurely lunch (go early to avoid the crowds). We’ll definitely be back for more wood‑fired fare and that famous veggie‑centric spread.

Great service from the start. Vibe quite different from the Venice Beach location but remains understated, but built into the casino. Food was absolutely on point. Really impressed with the pizza quality, ingredients, oven char and the dough. Right amount of crispiness and softness, sauce and cheese (had the guanciale). Roasted mushrooms were incredible! Pasta was al dente and flavored so well. Would definitely come back.

LOVED it; coming from LA, familiar with the OG in Venice. Beautiful room... sat at the bar, solo. Bar crew made me feel at home, fantastic hospitality. Good, reasonable priced wines by the glass. Very Gjelina-style plate was ordered, a bit different from what was described on the menu, but seasonality and market availability to blame… no worries, was delicious. Hospitality is top-notch. I hope they do well.

Not sure about people’s harsh reviews here, maybe just the competitor restaurants are rating them bad on purpose… but we had an amazing experience last night! Wondered around for a while, everywhere it was a 1 hour wait minimum, so we asked here and they were super welcoming and nice. Breath of fresh air after the other tries. Michael was our waiter, a funny and great character, very knowledgable and passionate about the restaurant’s mission. He gave real good recommodations, so we ended up trying the Hamachi, the beet salad, shaved corn and wagyu orecchiette bolognese and a pistachio chocolate tarte for dessert. Everything was DELICIOUS, the only thing we wasn’t crazy about, is the corn dish. It was a bit plain compared to the other dishes. Their ingredients are sourced from farms and most things are organic. I loved that they offer hungarian wines on their menu. Tokaji is the best wine in Hungary and you are lucky if you get to try it in the US. Good one on you Milos! We definitely recommend this place, amazing service and food, drinks were delish too!

Gjelina is a gem! The service is impeccable—attentive and warm. The farm-to-table dishes are top-tier, bursting with fresh, vibrant flavors that showcase quality ingredients. The ambience is perfect, blending rustic charm with a lively, inviting vibe. Highly recommend! Oysters: so fresh!!! Ribeye steak: cooked to perfection Wagyu cheek pasta: decadent and pasta was al dente Sticky toffee: not to sweet, couldnt get enough!

I recently visited the new Gjelina restaurant at the Venetian resort in Las Vegas. It was a great experience. Back in early 2017, I spent a week in California. While there, I followed a lot of advice and went to the original Gjelina and Gjusta spots in Venice. I had some amazing meals at both. I still use the Gjelina cookbook often. It’s one of my favorites when I want bold, fresh “California Cuisine.” My first visit in Las Vegas was on a Wednesday morning. I was in the mood for brunch. I started with the “Grilled Oyster Mushroom, Tarragon Butter, Lemon.” It may sound simple, but the grilled flavor was rich and really tasty. For the main dish, I had the “Duck Hash, Crispy Egg, Whole Grain Vinaigrette.” It was excellent. After I ate, I talked with my server, Michael. He was great. I told him I might come back the next day. He asked if I liked shakshuka. I said yes, and he told me to try their version next time. So I returned Thursday morning. I ordered the “Moroccan Baked Eggs, Merguez, Tomato Sauce, Cilantro, Yogurt.” It was delicious. I also stopped by Wednesday night before the U2 movie at the Sphere. I went for a casual dinner. That night, I had the Pomodoro Pizza with Confit Tomato, Oregano, Basil, and Olive Oil. I added Burrata. It was perfect. I also had a great Campo Azul Blanc Margarita at the bar. Jeremy, my server, took great care of me. If you’re in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, or New York City, I highly recommend checking out Gjelina.
