Cinque Terre West—owned and operated by Palisadians Gianbattista “Gianba” and Marlo Vinzoni—reopened at a new location at 523 Rose Avenue in Venice on Monday, June 23.
“We are thrilled to be back and grateful for the support we’ve received from our community during such a challenging time,” Marlo said. “Venice is such a vibrant, welcoming community, and we’re so excited to share our passion for authentic Italian food with our longtime regulars and new friends in the neighborhood.”
Cinque Terre West, which first opened in 2019, is known for its “authentic Ligurian dishes,” including “fresh seafood, house-made pastas, risottos and made-from-scratch pizzas, bringing the flavors of the Cinque Terre region of Italy to the heart of Los Angeles.” It has reopened alongside DELIzioso Cinque, the Vinzonis’ deli that was open on the same street in the Palisades.
The Vinzonis owned and operated Monument Street eatery DELIzioso Cinque, which was open at the time of the Palisades fire, as well as Cinque Terre West and Enoteca Cinque, which had previously closed in June 2024. They temporarily served a full menu through Cinque Terre West and DELIzioso Cinque through The Colony beginning in March.
The newly opened 50-seat restaurant in Venice is serving “signature favorites”—like roasted Branzino alla Mediterranea, Spaghetti di Mare, Trofie al Pesto and Pollo al Limone—as well as brunch and dinner daily. There will also be house-baked cornetti—Italian croissants.
“We’re incredibly touched by the generosity of our customers and the entire community,” Gianba said. “It’s been a long road, but we’re excited to be back offering the flavors of the Cinque Terre with our guests.”
The restaurant is open for brunch from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily, as well as dinner Monday to Thursday from 5 to 9 p.m.; Friday and Saturday from 5 to 9:30 p.m.; and Sundays from 5 to 8 p.m.
