The Ocean Hospitality Group was created by local business owners under the umbrella of OBMA to promote and sup- port local businesses in the Ocean Beach area that provide food, lodging and entertainment.

Cuisine, as you might imagine, also figures in its many legacies, thanks to one Vincent Giacalone, who in 1965 opened a restaurant serving up as original a fare as Giacalone could make it. Giacalone did the rest, fueling the venue's ambience while TV personalities, food writers, pro athletes and chefs passed through its doors – and today, The Venetian stands as Point Loma's hallmark to the authentic Italian experience amid 50 years worth of family recipes and strict adherence to the mechanics that make the food some of the area's best. Chances are you'll run into someone here who you or your companion knows, in which case the three of you will revel in the savory shrimp Puttanesca over lin- guini, the hearty eggplant Milanese or the dizzying choices of classic pastas. Owners Frank and Joe Giacalone will delight in the camaraderie, as important to them as the quality of the food. “We appreciate the local business,” they say, “and enjoy meeting the people in the community that help our restaurant prosper.” Italian cuisine and Italian esprit de corps are one and the same at The Venetian, located at 3663 Voltaire St. For more on this neighbor- OPEN FOR LUNCH Featuring our hood staple, see venetian1965.com or call 11am - 2pm Mon. - Fri. full menu (619) 223-8197.

TES KEMPNER AND STU SCHREIBER

The Ocean Beach Playhouse – anchor tenant among a series of businesses located at the site of the former Newport Avenue VFW post – has been sold for an undisclosed amount to two likeminded owners whose 23 years' creative training spans locales from Los Angeles to New York. Tes Kempner and Stu Schreiber have assumed control of the space, at the rear of 4944 Newport Ave., site of Ocean Beach's most recent effort at establishment of a permanent live theater venue. Recent productions there included John- Michael Tebelak and Stephen Schwartz's “Godspell” and a locally written musi- cal send-up called “Life Is a Cabernet.” The locale was the site of Ocean Beach's VFW Post 1392 thrift shop and lounge until 2010, when merchants Lynne and Paul Bolton assumed the space. Paul Bolton's Electric Chair hair salon is located at the same address, as is Lynne Bolton's Primitive Kool art gallery. The 100-seat playhouse fronts a small record- ing studio for rent by members of the community. Kempner and Schreiber sport extensive backgrounds in acting, directing, dance, POINT LOMA / OCEAN BEACH arts education and songwriting.
