"Opened in March as the first Reunion location at NeueHouse Venice Beach, this coastal-Italian restaurant favors a bright, breezy, relaxed seaside atmosphere with an outdoor terrace that lets diners smell the ocean air; its similar palette of colors and textures makes the space inviting for extended stays. The menu emphasizes seafood, pasta, and seasonal vegetables designed for sharing—examples include a hit pea, basil, and mint salad—and highlights communal dining with larger portions and serving spoons. Cocktails by Eric Alperin and several flavors of slushy-style sgroppino echo the coastal theme, while sommelier Rosemary Walker’s wine list leans heavily on Italian varietals. Access to Venice Reunion is through the main house entrance, reinforcing its role as an integrated part of the NeueHouse membership ecosystem while still offering a public taste of the community." - Oren Peleg
