Casa Ado

Casa Ado offers a number of Italian dishes including pastas, polenta, lamb rack, pork shoulder and more. The full menu is available on the website.

Out of an "unassuming little yellow cottage", this Venice "gem" (with a larger outpost in Marina del Rey) delivers "luscious" Italian fare to a "trendy" clientele; though "crowded" tables are a drawback, the candlelit setting is otherwise "romantic" and the "charming" staff "greets you like friends", so it's a "special" (and "expensive") "treat."

Co-owners Paolo Cesaro and chef Antonio Mure have followed up Ado, their Italian hot-spot in Venice, with Casa Ado in Marina del Rey. Located near the hustle and bustle of the Venice Pier, this simple bistro offers seating in the low-lit dining room, a handful of chairs at the bar, and a few al fresco tables along busy Washington Boulevard. As at sister restaurant Ado, the cuisine is Italian,...

This laid-back version of Paolo Cesaro's Venice hit eatery, Ado, dishes out the same kind of authentic Italian dishes Cesaro is known for, but here there's a full bar and a distinct living room-like setting. Look for handmade pastas, housemade ricotta cheese, and a range of cocktails as effervescent as the charming waitstaff.
