Osteria Oliva Nera In Venezia

03/12/2025: As often happens in my travels, the best places are the ones I stumble upon by pure luck, and this spot was no exception. Our original restaurant couldn’t accommodate a table for five, but this place welcomed us and made room without hesitation. The space is small but cozy, and the food was truly exceptional. The standout dish was the octopus: easily the best I’ve ever had. It was incredibly tender, almost melting in your mouth, which is impressive considering how tough and chewy octopus can be when not cooked properly. We also ordered the ravioli, bao, lamb chops, and cacio e pepe, and every dish was thoroughly enjoyed by our group. We selected a bottle of white wine that was so good we ended up ordering a second. Overall, it was a wonderful and memorable evening for all of us.
