Pushy owner suggesting food even before the menu had been read and a "group" dessert even before the menu had been brought back. €5 for the pleasure of selecting a teabag for them to pour hot water over. Pity about this as the food is good albeit pricey More

We made reservations for six at this very friendly taverna, one canal west of the Accademia Vaporetto stop. The atmosphere is friendly and local, with a pleasant staff. The place was filled with mostly Italian locals plus several groups of tourist, the ones which we spoke to all having been recommended to here by locals. It's a neighborhood place, just... More

While we spent 8 nights in Venice, 3 of those nights we ate here. We just loved it that much. You can't go wrong here. Their seafood is simply delicious. More

We had lunch as a party of four having stumbled upon this restaurant after finishing a walking tour. It is reasonably priced and has a good local feel to it and is clearly used by tourists and locals alike. We had clams, lasagna, selection of fried fish, bufala, carbonara and gorgonzola speck, water and wine. It was very well cooked... More

The food here was consistently excellent, we had mainly pizza and seafood pasta dishes and never had a bad dish. Deserts were delicious as well, especially the tiramisu. Service was efficient and friendly, and we never had to wait more than 20 minutes for our order. The interior of the restaurant is charming and very clean. More

I had the Veal Osso Bucco, my husband had the lasagne. The veal was absolutely delicious and was served with polenta. The lasagne was amazing! It's unbelievable what a difference fresh pasta can make! I would definitely go back on my next visit to Venice! More

The Taverna was our choice of restaurant on our first night in Venice and we liked it so much that we broke my rule of never eating in the same place more than once and went back on our last night together. The food was good with reasonably-priced generous portions from a wide-ranging menu and the house red and prosecco... More
