Stopped into Ristorante da Mario alla Fava with my mom and cousin on Thursday around 5pm, and it felt like the perfect early-evening pause in Venice. The setting was effortlessly charming—intimate, relaxed, and exactly what you hope to stumble upon while wandering the city. Fahim, our waiter, elevated the entire experience with his warmth, humor, and impeccable attention to detail. Service like that lingers with you. A truly memorable stop—would absolutely recommend.

Tucked away in a quiet corner of Venice, this restaurant feels like stepping back in time. Under the green awning, with flowers hanging above and sunlight softly touching the tables, everything feels calm and unhurried.
The pace here is slow—but in a good way. It invites you to sit down, enjoy your meal, and have a real conversation, it’s honest, comforting, and warm.
More than anything, it’s a place that lets you relax and just be. No pretension—just a genuine taste of everyday Italian life. Perfect for a slow meal and even better company.

A quiet, historic restaurant in a central location. Traditional Venetian cuisine, specializing in freshly prepared fish, all fresh daily.
Outdoor seating is also available in a quiet courtyard.
Fabio is a wonderful person; he served us warmly and was very accommodating to our requests.
I'll be back soon!

Historic restaurant with typical dishes of Venetian and national cuisine. I hope that the imminent new ownership will continue as much as possible with the same quality of dishes and services.

Exceptional in every way. The cuisine is refined, the service is professional and kind. They always treat us like regulars even though we only show up a few times a year. This is our go-to every time we are in Venezia. Grazie mille!

The restaraunt from the inside is super cool and I like the vibe of it but the food was really a miss. I ordered a pasta and it tasted like this cheap soup my mom would make except my mothers was better. The meat dish I ordered was not good, it was really whatever, just tasted like meat with sauce on the side. Smaller portions, treat it like fine dining.
