The best restaurants Veneto

Apart from the tourist routes, this small 26-seat osteria prepares Venetian cuisine, typical and quality. A few tables on the summer terrace, but little easy to grasp, because the Venetians will probably have preceded you. Dino and Isalla are very attentive to their customers and take care of the restaurant with passion.

An address offering excellent value for money, located close to the Musée du Verre. The atmosphere here is warm and relaxed, with locals crowding the counter and chatting with the pizzaiolo. On the menu, you'll find excellent pizzas, made on site, well-stocked and very inexpensive, as well as meat and fish specialties like spaghetti with clams or fish soup. Smiling service. The large inner courtyard is very pleasant in summer, but reservations are essential.

Don't be put off by the relatively anonymous front of this neighborhood brasserie located between Campo San Bartolomeo and San Salvador. The atmosphere here is warm, the service friendly and the dishes hearty and tasty. From pasta with all kinds of sauces, to well-stocked and often original pizzas such as seafood or pineapple. Moreover, you can even choose your pizza according to your astrological sign: Aries, Gemini, Taurus, Virgo and others, to each his own seasoning! To discover...

A cosy place,both trendy and refined. This elegant café welcomes you at any time of the day with its raw wood, stainless steel and frosted glass decor. You can come early in the morning to sip an espresso, at noon to devour a panini or a sandwich on the go, and finally, to drink a cocktail in the evening. On the menu, we find a wide range of typical dishes revisited with taste. The whole is rather sophisticated, with a touch of originality. Nice wine list. A delicate address in short, which will seduce in particular the lovers.

A haven for young artists and patrons of the arts in the 1950s and 1960s, this neighborhood restaurant began a new life a few years ago thanks to the meeting of a talented sommelier and an inventive chef. They cultivate the reputation of this table by suggesting careful menus. Risotti, spaghetti, fish, tartar and burrata make up the menu, accompanied by a selection of Italian wines. For dessert, try the exquisite lemon pie.

A nice address at very good prices, easily reached on foot from the piazzale Roma. It takes its name from a famous thoroughbred, winner of many races at French racecourses. We appreciated the well-kept setting and the flowered garden where we can settle down when the weather is nice. The Venetian cuisine offers beautiful plates of fish cooked with talent (spaghetti with cuttlefish ink, scallops). The products are fresh, and the dishes, including bread and pasta, are homemade.

Along the Fondamenta Nuove, facing the magnificent lagoon landscape that overlooks the northern islands, here is a restaurant that sets the bar high both for the setting and the content of the plate. Inside, the atmosphere is modern and cozy, and outside, a terrace that floats on the water for even more relaxed meals. Behind the stove, ingredients are assembled with a permanent quest for culinary refinement. Those in a hurry will simply stop by the bar for an espresso with brioche, or for the evening spritz and cicchetti.

Interesting address, listed in the Michelin Venice for 20 years. This restaurant is both traditional and a bit whimsical, a good table where history, art and gastronomy are combined in a refined setting. The staff is dedicated to digging into the dungeons of Venetian cuisine to unearth amazing recipes. The langoustine with sweet and sour sauce, with onions, almonds and raisins, for example, is amazing... Just like the cellar, which is full of vintages. Large choice of wines by the glass and oyster tasting at the counter.

The restaurant is located in an old sacristy that until ten years ago housed the art gallery of a famous master glassmaker. In the kitchen, apart from the traditional pizzas, which are counted by the dozens, the owner Giuseppe Calliandro reappropriates almost all the treasures of local cuisine, such as Venetian liver served with polenta, cannelloni with Doge or scampi alla busera. Whatever you order, your plate will be deliberately generous. The wine list is also qualitative. Good reception in addition.

In the ghetto, you can eat delicious pizza in the large room or, in summer, outdoors, on the small square, distorted by the roots of a very old tree. It is calm, pleasant, but invaded by mosquitoes. A shadow of the table… Good kitchen and warm welcome.

The originality ? No fish or seafood... If you like meat dishes, come to the table, it will be a treat! Giovanni Trevisan has seen some of the world's most famous people come to enjoy his refined dishes, washed down with an impressive selection of regional wines (nearly 250 labels). From Lady Di to Hugo Boss, from actors Hugh Grant to Tom Cruise, they all enjoyed themselves at the former director of Trussardi's Cafeteria at La Scala in Milan. But, according to him, one of his most faithful customers was a certain François Mitterrand..

On the way between the vaporetto pier and the center of Torcello, this restaurant offers a very pleasant setting and quality cuisine. Romantic atmosphere under the nicely furnished veranda or in the gazebo of the beautiful garden; delicious and beautifully presented dishes. The refined cuisine favors the flavors of the sea: baked sea bass, fried fish, tagliolini with squid ink, tuna tartar with capers. A quality address, appreciated by locals and tourists alike.

Known for its vaulted ceiling and its rustic universe, Taverna San Trovaso is a Dorsodurian institution now very frequented by tourists, almost too much! Fast and efficient service, at lunch and dinner. On the menu, Venetian cuisine (but not only) and hearty dishes, usually meticulously prepared, with a focus on grilled fish, plenty of seafood, plates of pasta (spaghetti with squid ink, etc.) and tender pizzas, whether Diavola, Viennese, Simone or Giulia.

Located on the edge of a small canal, in the quiet Dorsoduro district, this old trattoria with its wood stormcoat, welcomes you on classical music. We eat the traditional dishes of Venetian culture, even if you often regret a lack of finesse… A wide selection of pasta (including the tagliatelles with della Dona Onesta), but also seafood, fish frills and meats, can be found here. Opt for this address if you're in the corner, otherwise you'll get your way. It's more "honest" to say it.

A classic in Treviso since 1921. In the small room of this inn-like trattoria there is an air of yesteryear, while on the plate you will find the specialties of Veneto and Treviso (bigoli in sauce, roast duck served on a bed of potatoes and red radish). True to its name, the duck (oca) will be offered in all its forms. The menu is renewed regularly, according to the seasons. The decor is warm and authentic, with a wooden ceiling, old photographs, bottles of wine here and there... A good address.

This establishment is located in what was once one of the first banks in Venice, hence its name. In summer, a beautiful terrace is set up along the canal, right next to the Rialto. The quality of the dishes offered could make you think that you are at one of these prestigious addresses with jealously guarded culinary secrets. This is true, even if the recipe of the house is actually more direct and traditional. The fish, for example, comes from the nearby Rialto market. It is ultra fresh and accompanied by a varied wine list.
