What an amazing place. The food was outstanding, the best in our Venice trip and one of the best I've had in Italy. The place is small and cozy and looks like a family traditional place, but when you order the food, you realize the classic dishes have a twist and have different textures, ingredients and flavours that you don't find in a regular traditional restaurant. The pasta is one of the best I've ever had. The flavours were so intense on everything. If I ever come back to Venice, this is the first place I want to come back to!

We had dinner there on our first night in Venice, based on the hotel's recommendation and the good reviews we'd seen. To be honest, we were tired from our trip and didn't order much, but the dishes we did have were delicious and the service was excellent. The dining room is rather small and the tables are a bit cramped, but they were very attentive and made sure we were comfortable. Highly recommended; the food is very good and nothing like your typical tourist trap.

Delicious pasta, good service. Little hot inside but wear something light. Try the seafood pasta. We ordered pasta negra but they gave us this one by mistake. Better this one.

A small restaurant with barely twenty seats. Around 7:30 pm, it's packed, and people are waiting in the street. No reservations are possible: you have to arrive early or be prepared to wait.
Venetian cuisine, home-style, as if Mamma were cooking. It's generous, simple, and well-executed. Excellent service.
Four stars because the setting lacks any particular charm, and the food, while tasty, doesn't reach the level of refinement of some more ambitious Venetian restaurants. But for an authentic, unpretentious, and unfussy place, it's a great find.

The spaghetti al nero di seppia is very delicious. It’s a small tavern vibe restaurant, 12 minutes away from the San Marco. Not very touristy, the price is fair and the staff is nice.

Traditional Venician food in a small restaurant. There are dishes available that are hard to find elsewhere.

For us, Osteria alla Staffa was the best restaurant in Venice. A small, traditional, and very authentic place, with fresh ingredients and a cuisine that truly stands out.
We ordered the ravioloni neri artigianali and the linguine con orata nostrana, and both were spectacular. Without a doubt, some of the best pasta we've ever had.
If we were to return, we would order it again without hesitation. Just be sure to go early because the place is very small and fills up quickly.
