My partner and I have eaten here for lunch twice - once a decade ago, and again during a return visit in May 2012. Each time, the atmosphere, was friendly and informal, the food was terrific and authentically, unassumingly local, and the prices were very good for Venice. During lunch you can order off the menu (which we did -... More

I ate at this restuarant only once and the food was adequate and the service friendly. I have had better food in Venice, but if I needed somewhere close by I would return. IF you get seated with other folks, that is just the way it is in Italy. I have been seated with other folks and met some wonderful... More

My wife and I were recommended to go to this restaurant on our recent trip to Venice by one of the locals. He gave us this restaurant as one to go to from the perspective that the locals go there and the food is well priced. He got this right. We had to book and so glad we did. The... More

Went a few years ago with my boyfriend. Waitress was a little pixie lookalike of Wynona Ryder who explained menu of the day in English- she was an absolute delight!!!! Menu changes day-to-day, depending on the catch of the day.Best soup I've ever had- strange orange coloured soup with a mountain of the yummiest & freshest clams I've ever had.... More

We have eaten here a number of times over the past 5 or so years (indeed, on every occasion we have visited Venice). Our experience has been that the food is uniformly good, and we have never been disappointed in the choices we have made. The menu is quite small, consisting largely of fish dishes and the staff will explain... More

Not even if it will remain the last restaurant in city would we go back there. Just because of the rudeness and impoliteness of the stuff. More

We are staying nearby to Osteria ai 4 Feri and have sampled two other restaurants in this area of Dorsoduro as well as a number of restaurants throughout Venice on various trips to this magnificent city. We hadn't read anything about Osteria ai 4 Feri and I'm not sure we would have gone there if we'd read the mixed reviews.... More

We were recommend this place by friends who stayed in the neighbourhood. It's definitely worth seeking out - bonus is it's round the corner from the jazz club. The menu changes daily, the table crammed together and if you don't reserve you might find yourself seated on the same table as other diners. It's well worth it, fresh seasonal food... More

Excellent seafood first and second courses. Minimally touristy. It's on a very narrow street that you probably wouldn't pass if sightseeing. Wait staff spoke just enough English to give us the main idea of what was on the menu. More
