About

Unless you’re new to eating in Los Angeles (in which case, hi, we hope you like beets and avocados), you don’t need us to tell you that the food at Gjusta is really f*cking good. You also don’t need us to tell you that Gjusta is a complete and utter scene. You’ve ended up here to ask the same question that everyone who eats in LA has at some point: is it actually worth it?
To cut to the chase, the answer is yes. But it’s not an unconditional yes. To enjoy this all-day deli/bakery/cool person gathering place in Venice, you just have to know what you’re getting yourself into.
Show up on a weekend or at 12:30pm on a Friday and you should expect a significant wait. The ordering system is a little more streamlined these days (you take a number and wait for them to call it), so you’re less likely to get shoved aside by a guy that’s either your former neighbor or a very famous actor. But if you live in the neighborhood, you already know to call ahead and get your order to go at certain times of day. Or to wait until 2pm to head over for lunch. If you’re on your own, find a place to lean at the walk-up bar, and feel safe in the knowledge that if you’re standing up while you eat your tomato confit and burrata sandwich, it counts as exercise. There’s also the shaded back patio, where you might have to hover or ask someone to move over to get a seat. Don’t bring your dog (unless you like eating in the parking lot on milk crates) and definitely don’t be in a hurry.
