Al Forte In Valdisotto

Any time is a good time to stop by and sample the super-stuffed sandwiches. During lunch and dinner, you can sample the various options.

We went to lunch at La Dispensa del Forte on a quiet midweek in July. A perfect time to appreciate the location, which in my opinion remains its true strength: outdoor tables, a relaxed atmosphere, no crowds. A place where you can truly enjoy your time. The attention to children was greatly appreciated: paper and colors at the table, a simple yet thoughtful gesture that helps make the meal more relaxing for parents too. Lunch begins with a pink mousse served as a welcome drink. A small, pleasant gift that starts the meal on a gentle note. The bread basket – supplied by a local bakery – is well-stocked and of good quality, with a very soft focaccia that stands out from the other types. We then ordered a charcuterie board: it was delicious, with a porchetta that stood out for its flavor and simplicity, seasoned with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Next up was a first course of spaghetti with shrimp, zucchini, and confit cherry tomatoes. Colorful, fresh, and beautifully plated. Overall, it was fine, though lacking any particular flair. The service was friendly and well-timed. The price of each course was slightly above average, but in line with the restaurant's setting. Not a memorable experience, but not disappointing either. I would return, perhaps on another occasion, to give the cuisine a chance to truly impress me. For those seeking tranquility and a break from the city's frenetic pace, it's definitely a place worth considering. Especially at lunchtime, in the middle of the week, when everything slows down and even a simple dish can be appreciated.

A great time, excellent food, great team, I can only recommend it. Charming place and a really caring team. Bravo and thank you 🙏

For years, a guarantee of quality ingredients prepared by experienced chef Bruno. Seasonal menus featuring select, locally sourced ingredients, as well as specials for traditional occasions. A welcoming outdoor area or indoor dining room in the Forte Marghera setting. A wide selection of natural wines. Managed by the Controvento cooperative.

We tried the redemption menu. Among the appetizers, the sardines in saor and the peoci were excellent. Stewed cuttlefish were tender and tasty. We appreciated the welcome with bovoetti and the watermelon cube at the end of the meal. The staff were kind and attentive. The place was welcoming. A lovely discovery. We'll be back.

For a first time, well done! Excellent food, service, a little awkward from the young people, but a lot of effort 👍 The Italian cola is good, the bigoli are excellent.

A historic site, immersed in greenery and surrounded by water. Excellent for those seeking company or isolation. A colony of cats lives here.

Inside Forte Marghera, one of the many forts built at the end of the 19th century to defend Venice, forts that have never been used for war purposes, a shot has never been fired against the enemy, is the Dispensa. Excellent quality food, attentive and thoughtful service. At the end of the meal you can take a walk in the large green space of the Forte.

Very beautiful place located inside one of the most famous forts in Venice, Forte Marghera, a very beautiful and calm place to visit.

A very cozy place - authentic inside, calm outside, no loud music. We arrived around six, the kitchen wasn't working yet (it opens at 7:00 PM), but we were able to grab some snacks - delicious, fresh sandwiches with jamon. Tea - packaged, but quite tasty). And the staff - special thanks. Very polite, sincere, and warmly welcoming. It was nice, thank you!
