Hi @coldbeer70,
Yes, they closed down Orange County restaurants for outdoor dining as well.
For Venice, you might consider Gjusta, which has an excellent array of phenomenal Sandwiches (not the boring type, they bake their own bread in-house daily (usually 6 - 8 different types)) such as their Italian (they make their own Charcuterie in-house(!)), Meatball Sandwich, Turkey Sandwich (they roast their own Turkeys daily, and slice meat from it), Porchetta Sandwich, their Falafel Pita is wonderful; Breakfast items (Egg Sandwich, Croque Madame, Mushroom Bowl, Multi-grain Porridge, Multi-grain Waffle (if you can open it and eat it immediately to prevent it from steaming in the to-go box)); and not sure if they are still doing their Smoked Seafood section, but they had the best Smoked Seafood case in the city pre-COVID (they would have a wonderful Lox, Gravlax, cold-smoked Kanpachi, hot-smoked Trout, Smoked Salmon Belly, Oil-Cured Sardines, etc.).
Forma Venice is a solid choice for Italian. Not sure if they are doing Takeout Cocktails, but if they are, they would be well worth it.
The Rose (Venice) is a longtime landmark, but it’s been revitalized by Chef Jason Neroni, and they make some excellent Handmade Pastas. Their other mainstay items are hit or miss, but the Pastas are excellent. 
Southend Pizza is helmed by Pizzaiolo Mario Vollera, who makes some excellent Pizzas in the vein of a California style (Mozza-esque).
If you’re willing to drive ~10-15 minutes or so away into Santa Monica there are some other suggestions I could give.
Enjoy!
