AL PUNTIGLIO In Santo stino di livenza

12/12/2024: We loved this restaurant. Excellent food in a charming but low-key setting, at a very reasonable price for the quality. We had two pasta dishes, both of which were versions of Venetian classics (one with beans, the other with anchovies), which were delicious. We also had their fried chicken with root vegetables, which was amazing. Excellent wine selection & the bread was perfect. Highly recommended for an on point & creative execution of Venetian cuisine.

12/12/2024: Forget about the common pizza pasta restaurants that fill Venice and lurk tourists. Here you get Italian cuisine at its best. The food here is very quiet. Not overseasoned and not the other way. Simple quality ingredients cooked to perfection. The plating is very rustic, so the food appears very common. And it is, In a very good way, as often the best Italian food is., But at the same time, it also makes one think and say Hah! The tasting menu of nine dishes for 60 Euro (cover charge included) was a really good way to get impressed by the restaurant's menu. From a very classical and very good Vitello Tonnato, to an impressive beetroot dish that is probably the best beetroot I have ever tasted. 1 A wine pairing of 3 glasses for 20 euro is a very good value for money. I wouldn't say it's the best restaurant I have been to, but it was a very nice unexpected surprise.
