L'Anice Stellato In Venezia

What a magnificent dinner! How much care was taken in the welcome and in the dishes. Definitely a place to return to.

An excellent restaurant slightly off the beaten path. Some find the service stand offish but honestly I find it surprising. As long as you are cordial and friendly as a guest, you will get the best service you will ever want or need. The restaurant adds creative touches to the dishes which I sometimes don’t love so do take a look at all the listed ingredients and make sure the inventive side doesn’t upset you. The scallops were wonderful with a nice creamy sauce and texture from the lentils. The octopus was wonderful even though I wasn’t a fan of the chickpea cream. The spaghetti was excellent, full of onions and anchovies, a touch too much sauce to my liking but the taste was wonderful. The pasta / bean soup was nice but too much of the similar taste to my liking. The fish with mushrooms was perfectly cooked and mushrooms did work well here. A nice option in Venice but do read the menu properly before ordering.

Delicious meal. Imaginative and creative without being over fancy and annoying. The staff are friendly and clearly passionate about the food and wine. Well worth the walk off the beaten track to get to it on a crisp February evening.

So glad we found this place! Cozy and local, yet modern, with a very interesting menu. We went with the 9 course tasting menu (€60pax) that included both meat and fish dishes. Everything from the olive oil and bread to the last dish was well presented and excellent made. We got the Tiramisu for dessert of course, which was TOP. The service was also incredible, I definitely recommend a visit!

Kindness, good atmosphere and original preparation. Advisable.

Really recommended typical Venetian restaurant. Good, helpful service.

One of the best places to eat in Venice. In a city increasingly overrun with tourist traps, this restaurant is a true gem. Tucked away from the noise and crowds, it offers a peaceful atmosphere, outstanding food, and even better service.

Good food, some of it (like the nervi salad) very good, small out of the way in Cannareggio, worth a visit

Simply great. Star cuisine in a cozy and uncomplicated manner. Gladly again at any time. Be sure to reserve

We arrived without a reservation but even though it was busy they found us a good table. We had the tasting menu which was excellent and really interesting, the staff were all very friendly and helpful, explaining each dish to us and didn't even mind when I hijacked their Spotify playlist. They also have an interesting and varied selection of wine quick you can also buy to take away. There's no kids menu but our 10 year old enjoyed it too. Really recommend this place, and a lot of the other bars and restaurants in this area are great too.
