Ristorante all'Arena In Chioggia

It was the first time excellent fish first courses and appetizers..ditto service..very friendly prices in the norm I recommend it..

1st MICHELIN STAR We arrive from the beach after word of mouth "try it, then you'll tell me". From the outside the place is penalized by the most historic district of Sottomarina. Once inside, the environment is elegant and very clean. We order crudités, boiled meats and fried dishes. I have a passion for places and I like to cook: my rating on the three dishes is 8/9, in the kitchen there is definitely someone who has golden hands. I look into the kitchen to say hello and find a wonderful work team and a clean kitchen. For me this place has 1 Michelin star and certainly the first tip of the Sottomarina-Chioggia area, I expect a further leap towards the top. The dishes that arrived at the adjacent tables were special and difficult to cook (2 kg grilled turbot). Price €50 each, very honest (the frying alone was filling). The homemade melon sorbet is excellent. Well done and excellent family management. Thanks Franco, Francesca, Federico.

Exquisite fish, prices 20% above the average in relation to the area

If you want to eat fresh fish, I recommend it to make it clear that you don't need lemon on your dishes, a few words to the good connoisseur

Excellent food friendly staff The first restaurant that doesn't give lemon given the quality of the fish

Best seafood ever! Inconspicuous restaurant with top seafood, very friendly service and the best thing to do is order omakase: you eat what the boss cooks.

Small osteria with great food. Above all, the starters and especially the raw daily specials (e.g. the world's best tuna tartare!!) are excellent! The (few) primi are also very good, but the main courses are noticeably inferior. So 2 - 3 antipasti, 1 primo, plus a good bottle of wine = great evening! Reservation is mandatory. Not really cheap, but worth every penny. We were there in 2018 and again in 2024, it is still high class.

Excellent fish, always fresh, price in line with the offer.

Quality raw materials but little choice on the menu and very high prices. The impression you get is that if they know the customers they abound in portions, in fact the same courses but different quantities. 4 euro cover charge and 4 euro water seems a little exaggerated to me. However, it is not recommended if you have children because there is no choice on the menu for them. I have been coming to Sottomarina for years but I don't think I will return to dine there.

Very fresh fish and cooked very well.
