We had three amazing meals in Venice on our recent trip...this wasn't one of them. First the location jammed into the tourist area off San Marco. The "outdoor dining " area is a damp smelly street area that people throng by. The service was pretentious and over bearing yet remarkably inefficient. I mean how many times should one ask a... More

Read the trip adviser reviews and as we were staying near St Marks square decided to give it a go. Did not book but were lucky to get a table....I would guess in high season booking is necessary. The food and service were spot on....excellent. We could find no fault with any aspect of this establishment. It is easy to... More

We booked this restaurant on the strength of our fellow Trip Advisor Reviewers comments. This was our best dining experience in Venice. We were a group of four. We sat outside although the inside dining looks impressive. The service is respectful, attentive and yet relaxed. The staff are rightly proud of belonging to this establishment and you can detect their... More

Me and my wife visited Venice this April and we found this restaurant from reviews. It is listed not just a restaurant but as entertainment and this is certainly the case. Everything was perfect: food, wine, service and atmosphere. It is an expensive choice but we were so satisfied that we spent €100/person with no regrets at all. We definitely... More

Just had dinner at the "Bistrot" tonight. After searching for this place and walking past three times as the sign is not as obvious as others, we were lucky enough to get a table for two, this place was filling up! Service was slow, especially for the table seated next to us, they waited over 40 minutes for their entree!... More

Just returned from the Bistrot de Venise, which we selected for out first dinner during our short stay in Venice. I regret to say, the experience was quite a disappointment - which was a pity, because the food was very good and the service quite attentive. The restaurant is trying to present a modern cuisine with an Italian taste, and,... More

We reserved a table in advance, which is advisable if you are going on a Saturday. The waiters were attentive but not overbearing. We sat on a table outside which felt secluded as the street is not a thoroughfare. We chose the traditional set menu and a brief explanation of the origin and ingredients was provided as each course arrived.... More

We chose this restaurant and their special romantic menu to celebrate our anniversary and were not disappointed. The food is excellent and with wine matched to each course we had an lovely evening. Staff are attentive without being overbearing and made our evening special. More

As a tourist in Venice, sometimes you feel resented, often because you don't understand the food rituals. Bistrot de Venise, however, is designed to make visitors feel welcome. All the staff speaks mutiple languages. The menus are in multiple languages. They intend to make you feel at home. The food is very good. We asked to have each course matched... More
