Osteria Da Valentino In Venezia

Very good, quality dishes and impeccable service.

Very nice start to finish. Would recommend.

You eat well here! Recommended!!!

I had lunch here for work and had a great time. We chose the workers' menu, the service was fast, and even though some of the waiters seemed a bit lost, it was a pleasant lunch. If I ever return to Venice and am in the area, I'll definitely stop by again.

Excellent daily menu, very good value for money. The products were fresh and local. Only 15 euros for the daily menu (lunch), and generous. In a very pleasant, rather local environment, away from the touristy streets.

We had bacalau and burrata for the first course and a pork chop for the main course, accompanied by red wine (Chianti). The food was generally very good, although the Bellini as an aperitif was a bit sweet because the juice came from the glass. Overall, a good restaurant with friendly service.

It is comfortable and clean. The food was good.

Located on Venice's eastern side, the Castello district is the largest and one of the least visited of the six historic sestieri. It is a working-class community, neighborhood, and peaceful atmosphere, where visitors can uncover hidden gems off the tourist trails, ancient landmarks, and quaint canals. Back then, osteria was more of an inn where travelers, tradesmen, and locals could come, take shelter from the cold, and enjoy their food. The word stemmed from oste (innkeeper) and from the Latin hospes (host). Fast forward to today, osterias are very simple restaurant-like venues serving a rotating menu, usually with some mainstays. Menus are often limited, handwritten, and printed or displayed on a large board. They have a very ‘homey’ feel to them, as you are probably rubbing elbows with locals. Therefore, they are affordable, for which my partner, our friends, family member, and I decided on Osteria Da Valentino. Situated on Via Giuseppe Garibaldi, we were drawn by the available outdoor seating offering a picturesque view of the canal to create a magical cozy vibe for our last Venetian meal. For some of us, we decided on the Smoked Salmon Cicchetti, Green Salad, and Bruschetta as appetizers. For the main meal, we opted for the Eggplant Parmigiana, Spinach Ravioli, Vegetarian Pizza, and Linguini in Clam Sauce. We washed them down with Limoncello Spritz and Acqua Fissante. Complimentary bread started the meal. The food was very delicious, using the freshest ingredients and genuine authenticity. Our plates were beautifully presented. Not only was Kelly our server, but she was also the owner along with her team; they were friendly and caring to our needs. We were treated with Limoncello shots to end the night. Grazie di tutto! We can highly recommend it.

Quality of the food was amazing (especially meals of the day), service is very friendly, prices are reasonable. Amazing atmosphere and amazing food!! Definitely recommend!!!

The food was delicious, even if the portions weren't particularly large. What wasn't so nice was that the bill for two people included three dinner cover charges totaling €12.
