Enoteca Do Colonne In Venezia

A journey through Japanese flavors, colors, and aromas. Refined cuisine, with countless different preparations to showcase and enhance the finest ingredients. Well done!

I went for dinner last night. It was my 4th time (in about 3 years), but I think it will be my last. The prices are very high; it's not a place for people who live in Venice; they've obviously chosen to target tourists. The portions are very small and the prices are very high. At €67 (the cost of the tasting menu), you could easily try a Michelin-starred restaurant. The white chocolate and strawberry dessert is good, but the tiramisu is a bit too "unstructured." The bathroom could use a makeover. They place too much emphasis on oshibori with this mini-ceremony, but everything else (commercial approach, price of dishes, portions) is very much a tourist trap in Venice. The udo (€22) is very large and tasteless. The rice bowl with 6-8 pieces of marinated swordfish is €24. Desserts are €6-9. Everything is very overpriced; you'd be better off opting for koenji or ma ramen in Padua.

Incredible flavors, perfectly balanced, and with a rare attention to the ingredients. The service is attentive and attentive; the selection of natural wines is excellent.

This is a Japanese-Venetian fusion restaurant that puts a lot of thought into its ingredients and cooking methods, and I admire the owner's courage. However, as an Asian, my dining experience was average. First, the menu was unclear, printed on white A4 paper and placed in a plastic bag. Ideally, a restaurant in this price range should have a more sophisticated menu. Many of the menu details and explanations are verbalized by the waiter, over-complicating simple dishes to appear more upscale. This marketing tactic certainly attracts local diners unfamiliar with foreign cuisine, but the hype outweighs the quality of the food. We ordered five dishes, along with Japanese beer and a few drinks, but the portions were small and the prices were a bit high. While the concept was innovative, it was essentially a combination of basic ingredients. The eel in the unagi rice was minced eel, not whole pieces. The restaurant's interior has a bistro-like feel, making it suitable for a quick drink with friends, but it's not recommended for a serious meal, especially for those who have truly experienced Asian/Japanese dining culture.

We had the opportunity and honor of dining with Chef Masa. Simple yet profound and sophisticated flavors, all paired with a good glass of wine and a Japanese beer. We ordered a tasting, and the chef himself explained all the dishes to us! Thank you so much, great job!

We had fairly high expectations for this place, but unfortunately, the experience fell short. The quality of the dishes didn't meet our expectations, partly due to the extremely small portions compared to the prices. The udon noodles had a good consistency, but the broth was overly salty, and the other ingredients—like the dried tuna and nori seaweed—didn't add character to the dish. The fried avocado, offered as an off-menu item, consisted of only five pieces. We weren't told it was an appetizer, which would have helped us better calibrate our expectations (although we could have asked). The cicchetti, on the other hand, left us rather disappointed: the portions were far too small for a price of €8-9 each. As for the dishes we ate, unfortunately, we didn't find the Japanese-Venetian fusion experience we were looking for. As for wine, we ordered two glasses of sparkling wine, but the only one available by the glass seemed more like a sparkling wine than a true spumante. In the future, it would certainly be appreciated to introduce a slightly wider selection of vegetarian options for main courses, to offer greater variety and meet the needs of more customers.

This evening I dined at a truly extraordinary restaurant. The dishes were simply delicious, a perfect blend of Japanese culinary tradition and the fresh, authentic ingredients of the Venetian region. A unique and harmonious combination that showcases both worlds without compromise. Each course was meticulously crafted, with elegant, precise, and balanced flavors. The passion and dedication behind every choice was clearly evident, from the selection of ingredients to the presentation. An authentic and surprising gastronomic experience, which I highly recommend to anyone looking for something different from the usual Japanese cuisine: here, there's soul, technique, and local tradition. I'll definitely be back!

Fantastic experience of Japanese food with a Venetian twist! Service was very nice and friendly. The restaurant itself is cosy, but not on the usual touristic paths. Nevertheless or maybe just exactly because of that absolutely recommendable to visit!

A place I'd love to return to. My favorites were the friggitelli with duck ragù, the eel, and the Roquefort ice cream—out of this world.
