Ristorante Il Burchiello In Mira

17/02/2024: Abbiamo trovato questo locale per caso percorrendo in una sera nebbiosa i vicoli veneziani, Il locale è arredato in legno ed è carino e accogliente. Gnocchi discreti, pizza buona. Personale gentilissimo e attento al cliente. Da consigliare

26/10/2023: I had a reservation here for 8:00 pm on 8/29/2023. This was our first night in Venice. It's tradition with us that we have pizza on our trips so here we are. My husband and I are looking forward to tasting pizza in Italy. We'll see how it measures up to pizza back home which we love. Santa Croce area. Easy to find. Short walk from the vaporetto stop San Toma. There is inside and outside seating available. We chose to eat inside. Seated at a lovely table. Observed a mix of what appeared to be locals as well as tourists dining here. I wish I had made note of our server's name. He was so friendly and provided excellent service. Started with drinks. My first aperol spritz and a beer for my husband. Not bad. Bread basket. The menu is quite extensive but we're here for pizza. At first I think the price on the menu is by slice but it's for the whole pizza. On trips we always order the margherita pizza as we're not sure if the pepperoni is going to be like what we have back home. We tried it on one trip and it was not like the pepperoni we're used to. Better safe than sorry. We also decide to order an appetizer which is mostly for my husband. He picks the moscardini which is octopus, potatoes, cherry tomatoes, and rocket salad. I tried it it. Not a fan to be honest but my husband said it was delicious. Pleasantly surprised. The pizza was thin style which we prefer. Crust was perfect. Just the right balance of sauce and cheese. It was very good. It was almost as good as the pizza we get back home but then the pizza back home is what we're used to. We have decided to try pizza in each of our destinations of Venice, Florence, Amalfi, and Rome. So far so good! Complimentary limoncello shots for a lovely ending to our dinner. Cost 37.50€/$40.59. Great food and great service. Would return.
