The best Italian pizzerias and restaurants Veneto

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.

Opened for 6 months by a French, Elodie, this restaurant offers sophisticated, creative and revisited Venetian cuisine. It's a treat to dessert. We must recognize that Chief Andrea Iuliano is a young little genius. Your taste buds are not fooled by it. Enjoy the carpaccio tuna carpaccio, continue with grilled octopus with aubergines and rosemary, and finish with chocolate notes with chocolate notes. We have not yet recovered from these delicacies!

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.

Typical restaurant in front of the Duomo of Padua. It serves typical dishes for it of cuisine from Veneto and the various recipes of baccalà.

Right next to the La Fenice theater, this establishment stands out for its elegance and the quality of its service. Its history is the stuff of legend: frequented as early as 1720, it became America's favorite café in 1945. Closer to home, Sir Elton John and Maria Callas have spoken highly of it! Big names in Venetian culture visit regularly and its romantic atmosphere, in a small, quiet square (on days when there are no performances at La Fenice), will make for a delightful evening. The "risotto dello chef" is a must.

Authentic trattoria of neighborhood! It is in a very relaxed atmosphere that you come here to enjoy a share of pizza (on site or to take away) or a hot dish at lunch or dinner time. Client side, local, worker workers… merge joyously with tourists.

Located on the main street in the centre of the island, this typical trattoria offers excellent fish frying that you can enjoy on its sunny terrace. This is one of the most pleasant during the summer months.

The Caravelle is the name of the miniature replica of the wooden ship in storefront, but also of this historic restaurant of Via XXII Marco, located just steps from San Moses Church and near Saint Mark Square. The bar, adjacent to the restaurant, was used by famous writers, such as Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre, during their stay in Venice for years after the war. Inside, a cozy atmosphere for a wooden decor that evokes old ships. A distinguished clientele, most often staying at Hotel Saturnia, is located at lunch or dinner, to taste traditional dishes prepared carefully. Beautiful selection of pasta, risotti, seafood, fish… Quick and attentive service. A very good address.

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.

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.

An address that began in 1582! A trattoria as you love them, where you can eat at a small price and also enjoy it. All products used for the preparation of dishes are fresh. No specialties per se, meat dishes, fish and good pizzas for less than 10 €. A selection of national wines, with a majority of wines from the region. In the beautiful days you can enjoy the pleasant terrace. Warm welcome from Massimo and his team.

After the optics, the pizza? Without a joke, this little troquet competes with Pizza Al Volo (see «Recover» - «Dorsoduro»). Between the two, our heart scales… the dough is fine, crunchy underneath, moellable in and on the top… gardening generously! Don't miss it! For such a small price, it would be a shame to deprive you of 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.
