This restaurant was recommended to us by the waiter of another restuarant that we wanted to go to, but they ran out of food! Sensing our disappointment, Max told us he used to work at Riva Rose and to mention his name. We were seated at a lovely table outside which allowed us to watch the people and the scenery... More

I have lived in Venice for a year and this gem is our favourite choice for a smart meal. Whether inside in the calm and tranquil interior in Winter or in the sun by the canal, this restaurant is beautiful. The best food on this tiny fishing island is obviously fish, and the 'go' fish risotto here is just out... More

This is the place to eat in Burano. We were given an amazing table on the roof of the restaurant which had the most incredible views. The pasta was delicious and fresh and they had some lovely artisan local beers which were really unusual. Its a family run business and we got to meet all the family! Very charming place.... More

Burano is a lovely island although a little overcrowded by tourists. Still, it is possible to eat quite well in this small restaurant. The fare is of course largely seafood from the laguna, and who wouls complain about that. The cuisine is excellent, the presentation elegant, the wine list interesting with a wide range of wines from Northern Italy. Prices... More

Riva Rossa I dined at this charming restaurant on Burano at lunchtime on a Saturday. I ate the Gran Fritto Misto Rossa ( mixed, fried seafood). This was possibly the best dish of this type I have ever eaten in Italy. It was priced reasonably, and sitting out on the terrace overlooking the canal (Riva Rossa) in the sunshine it... More

We walked into Riva Rosa for a quick lunch and came out having had the best meal experience in Venice. The service was very personalized and we had an amazing meal. To top it all at the end of it we had a personal tour of the premises where we were taken to the top floor for a wonderful view.... More

Small, charming restaurant. Great to sit outside off the canal or inside. I had linguini with clams and mussels, wine and biscotti for 24€ (about $32). They also gave us complimentary cod fish spread which was delicious. The staff was very nice and very helpful!
