Osteria Mocenigo

The best food i had in Venice, and I have been here more than 12 times! The tuna steak is amaizing, also the tiramisu.

We went here with a local friend and had amazing food at reasonable prices! The service I would rate 3.5/5 - as we were sat in the corner, we got overlooked quite a bit. The owner seems to have quite a temperament and the restaurant itself was extremely noisy, so do with that as you will.

This restaurant is a little hidden gem. The food was delicious, fresh and authentic, and the staff was amazing. Everything was prepared and served with care. It was one of the best restaurants that we ate at on our trip to Italy.

Food was very delicious but the service did not make me feel welcome.

The good:
The Aperol Spritz was a big portion.
Avocado and shrimp salad was delicious.
The black pasta with shrimp and tomatoes came out hot and the flavor of the tomatoes was very fresh. Pasta tasted fresh too. Very flavorful.

The bad:
I am a solo traveler and was recommended this location in a tour.
The restaurant was busy when I arrived at 8pm and I was asked to leave because it was full. I asked if I can wait and was told no. However, they were accommodating other groups of two people or more without a reservation. I suspected it's because I am a solo traveler that would take up a table that can seat two (not sure). While I was looking for another place to eat on my phone, a waiter told me they can make me a seat in 10 minutes. After 20 minutes, I was called in. It took a long time for the waiter to take my order. At this point it has been 50 minutes since arriving at the restaurant. Unfortunately all the appetizers or main dish I wanted to try were unavailable. So I only ordered one main dish. Then I was told that they have a two plate minimum, and the waiter recommended the two dishes that was the two most expensive items on the menu. Perhaps it was actually a genuine recommendation...but seemed strange to me in this circumstance. I hesitantly ordered a second dish.
I understand that the restaurant is busy but I felt like a nuisance to them due to the service. Would have been a 5 star review if the service was more accommodating and genuine.

This place charged 5 Euro per person for bread that was not requested. The assumption was the bread was a part of the meal. They did not understand why my pregnant wife did not want a wine and asked multiple time if she wanted a drink. This was after we ordered a still water for her. Another fun part is they didn't even cook the alcohol out of the pasta we ordered. We did say she was pregnant multiple times and pointed to her belly.

Guido and Diego treated us amazingly. It is an incredible restaurant with authentic local dishes and high quality food. The Moncenigo Antipasto was enough as a whole meal, and an excelent way to try a little bit of different kinds of local fish and seafood direclty from the Lagoon. Paired with the White wine from the house. I highly reccomend and would go back!

This is a great place for a delicious meal. We went here when they opened for lunch and thoroughly enjoyed our meal.

We ate a salad; veal; pasta; steak and tiramisu as well as wine for about $100 euros which is incredibly inexpensive in my opinion.

Service was lovely, kind and did not rush us at all.
