Definitely a high recommend! We were comparing with a nearby restaurant, but decided to try this place and glad we did so! We only ordered 3plates and 3glasses of wine, but boy everything were amazing! Especially the squid dish which was incomparable from the ones we have back at home….!!!! Thank you for the wonderful time and service!(dogs are allowed)

One of the best experiences on our Italy trip. Mostly locals which is always a great sign. Waitress/bartender were super helpful in deciding what to get. Pastas were amazing, highly recommend a little off the beaten path.

Gorgeous tiny atmospheric and hidden restaurant. A very small amount of tables (either wait or book) Excellent service (great recommendations) and beautiful food that is worth it. Best food we had in Venice and the ricotta dessert stole my heart

Cozy little Osteria, with the most amazing pumpkin soufflé!!! My husband and I came in two nights in a row, just for that soufflé! Everything is delicious, and the service is spectacular!

I’ve visited here 3times from 2021.
One of the best restaurant where we can enjoy real Italian food in Venice.
Located in narrow street.
Food is really nice.
(Not over priced in touristic place as well)
I suggest you to visit here.
Hope more Japanese people visit here.
Worth to visit.

Tucked away in a small alleyway just off the busy main street. Beautifully cooked local specialties. Cute place, nice wines and one of the yummiest tiramisus I’ve had in Venice. Also loved the friendly service. Will be back soon again.
Ok

The couple are the most friendly bar owners in Mestre.
Restaurant chaleureux avec une bougie et délicieux ! Je me suis régalée ! Le serveur à pris le temps de nous parler en anglais. Par contre ce qui nous as étonné c'était les frais des couverts ! Ça fait grimper la note

Just had lunch there minutes ago. Very, very tasty food, fresh and good value. The aperol spritz was so good, huge, and not watered down. Our server was excellent and a guy playing the accordian even came by and serenaded the tables. The few euros you pay extra to sit down (expected all over Italy) was cheap compared to other places and so worth the comfy padded chairs. Will go back for sure!

Had a really good experience here! It’s my first restaurant in Venice. The place decorated so unique and cool. Different wine choices and several meals in the menu. The owner was really friendly and recommended me good meals! I loved the food here! Worth a try!
Lovely place. We came with no reservations and they accommodate us in the bar. Food is great and great value, wines are reasonably priced and tasty from local vendors. Ambience is warm and welcoming (also quite romantic if you’re looking for that) Overall very good!

Very pleasant cafe near San Marco with tables outside. Prices ok for Venice though still a little on the high side compared to less central areas. Lovely staff and food was very decent. Thank you!
Found this place surfing the Google maps in search for the restaurant for my bday dinner with family. It is very cosy and nice relaxing music is playing in the background. The prices are a bit high but the quality of the food was quite good. Can recommend the duck which was one of the best I have ever tried, very tender and delicious. The waiter was also very friendly and was giving advices on the menu.

Sono simpatici, e gentili vuol dire tanto colazione buona
Nous avons passé un très bon moment sur place : repas délicieux, dîner à la chandelle, le serveur a pris le temps de répondre à nos interrogations en anglais (nous sommes français).
Seul bémol : les frais de couvert ne sont pas annoncés sur la carte, contrairement à d'autres restaurants, et ils font grandement grimper la note en fin de repas, dommage !
Tranquillo bar gestito da cinesi
Colazione normale lo consiglio
Cappuccino e brioche

Comprate due box too good to Go a 2,99 ciascuna con la promesse di ricevere 9€ di cose varie ciascuna. Bene, mi ritrovo con tre cornetti dolci in una e tre in un altra. Ovviamente non credo che quei sei cornetti (che chi si mangia alle 19:00?!) valgano 18€ in tutto a meno che non siano d’oro! Quindi a questo punto ho pagato per intero tutto, altro che salvare il cibo con pochi soldi!!! Mai più. Imbroglioni!

Great coffee and freshly squeezed orange juice each morning from Bar Arcobaleno... And I can recommend the house mix of apple and orange juice! The kind barista even lent me a card tray to carry everything each morning, and I was sorry not to bring it back to her when we rushed for the vaporetto back to the station on our last morning in Venice! We will be back!

Nice bar nice people
Good location, atmosphere and service in general. Especially the lady working there was very kind. The prices are not very cheap as we thought it would be cheaper and not many options we see but everything was ok in general. Only we didn't get why we were charged +1 € more for everything than it's written but we just enjoyed and didn't ask about it :')
Aperitivo pomeridiano ma anche tarda mattinata....peccato che non offra più i Cicchetti !!!ma rimane sempre un posto piacevole

Bravi, gentili e simpaticissimi, soprattutto molto giovani e con voglia di un buon divertimento musicale
Lovely surprise near San Marco! Decent portions of very good food at reasonable
prices. We chose the ‘specials’, (on the board out front) which included a green salad, main course, (pasta for us) a bottle of water and maybe desert - not sure about the latter. Excellent service, clean bathrooms, a deli counter and bar, plus a single busy ‘slot machine’ at the counter which was popular with the locals. Less than a block off the sea front promenade.

Nice lunch in a very quiet little bar serving locals just off the main drag and a million miles from the tourist throng. Good ‘deal’ menu and very attentive service. Panini was excellent!

Our favourite bar to visit, blown away by the snacks but far beyond that great prices and great staff
Small cozy bar just around the corner of the main pier which also offers a variety of small to larger snacks. The Panini's were delicious and the staff is very nice and friendly. A place which is also visited by locals thus not just another tourist focussed bar.

Super leckeres Frühstück mit richtig gutem Kaffee. Hier kann man das morgendliches Treiben der Einheimischen genießen und wird auch als solcher behandelt. Vielen Dank Sara und Angestellte 🇮🇹👍
Classico bar di quartiere con tavolini fuori. Niente di particolare. Locale frequentato da gioca alle macchinette mangia denaro
Comunque ognuno è libero di fare quello che vuole con il proprio denaro. Non lo consiglio per nulla.

È un bar spazioso... Carente però di un adeguato ristoro, restando vantaggioso per le bibite e per il caffè. Situato in una zone periferica, i padroni sono cinesi, luogo pulito e relativamente silenzioso
The staff is very friendly.. reasonable price
My favorite place for lunch when I am in Mestre. Their “menu del dia” has amazing options for only 12 E, including water. The soups are always amazing and intense in flavors. Cozy atmosphere and friendly English speaking staff. Highly recommended
Super breakfast
The food was absolutely perfect! The waiters were extremely helpful and there was English translated menus. Highly recommend!
Pulito, buona atmosfera, musica e bicchiere di vino fanno dimenticare il brutto tempo fuori. Consiglio bere un caffè sotto ombrellone
