When practicing social distancing, it is difficult to support restaurants by dining out like we normally would. Restaurants that rely on us, especially during this time of year when they are supposed to be at their busiest, are facing difficult choices about how to move forward. These are the same restaurants that donate to our local charities, sponsor our kids’ sports teams, and provide relief when our community is struggling.
Support Local Restaurants with Gift Card Purchases
Keep in mind that you can still support restaurants by ordering takeout, curbside carryout or delivery. However, if you are nervous about being out in public, most restaurants offer gift cards that you can purchase now and use at a later date. Below you will find a list of restaurants in Venice that offer gift cards, with links to either contact them directly to order or to place an online order. Many of these restaurants are also offering deals when you purchase gift cards as an added bonus!
*Note: This list will be updated as frequently as possible with new information.

When you read, share, comment and like my blog posts, you are also supporting my family and the efforts I make to bring you all this information. I appreciate it so much!! Here are some of my recent blog posts to check out:
Help Us Keep The Venice Foodies Going
Venice Foodies started as a way to celebrate local flavor—but it’s grown into something much more: a community, a connection point, and a space where small businesses, family farms, and real people shine. Behind the scenes, it’s just us—the Reinbolt family—pouring time, love, and energy into every post, every recommendation, every shared story.
If you’ve found value in what we do, whether it’s discovering your new favorite bite or just feeling a little more rooted in this place we all call home, we invite you to support us with a financial gift.
It’s not required. It’s not expected. But it does make a meaningful impact—and helps us keep doing what we love, for the community we love.
