26/03/2025: 🌟 Top experience at Muro Frari in Venice! A pearl among the sestieri! 🌟
If you are around Venice and are looking for an authentic, welcoming place with a cuisine that conquers, write down this name: Al Muro ai Frari. We are a stone's throw from the majestic Basilica dei Frari and a few minutes from Campo San Polo, in a quiet but strategic area. A real gem for those who want to eat well while avoiding the usual tourist places!
🍹 Aperitif with style We arrived shortly after the evening opening and inaugurated the evening with an aperitif. I followed the waiter's advice and had a Rum and Cola made to perfection (perfect dosage, strong and fresh flavor). My friend chose a Spritz Select, the Venetian alternative to the more famous Aperol. Both promoted with flying colors!
🍕 Customized pizza? Yes, please! I wanted pizza, but not just any pizza. So I asked to make a custom one with buffalo mozzarella, raw ham and porcini mushrooms. The result? Divine. The dough was light, well leavened, and perfectly cooked. Every bite melted in your mouth!
🍽️ Venetian tradition on a plate My friend started with a classic: stewed cod with polenta. Soft, tasty, Venetian comfort food done properly. Then she continued with spaghetti with squid ink, which I gladly tried: tasty, creamy and not at all heavy. All cooked with care.
🍰 Perfect ending: the house tiramisu I couldn't have ended better. The tiramisu was a perfect balance between creaminess and the strong taste of coffee and cocoa. Classic, without frills, but done properly.
🏡 A welcoming place, even for locals The interior is modern and well-kept, with a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. The place was also frequented by several Venetians — always a positive sign! It had also been recommended to us by various shopkeepers in the area, and now I understand why.
💰 Honest prices (especially for Venice!) More than fair value for money. It is not the usual tourist place: here you eat well, you are treated kindly and you pay the right amount.
