Taverna la Fenice In Venezia

Lovely and Romantic venue for a mighty fine meal, the artichoke was exceptional.

Excellent cocktails, friendly staff and excellent top location👌

Great place for a fancier dinner. The food selection is great and got to try really interesting dishes. Totally recommend.

It was an amazing experience food was great the service was top class. I would like to mention Ricardo who was very helpful and friendly and made our experience spectacular.

Only had a drink here in the afternoon. The service team is super motivated and very well dressed. They had an outdoor bar where drinks are prepared. I liked it. Can highly recommend the gin and tonic (with gin from Venice).

The restaurant applies a 10% surcharge on the bill amount for the service, although there is also a cover charge: I have never seen something like this in any other restaurant. We ask the waiter for an explanation and he smugly tells us that they've been doing it for 10 years. Compliments!

Had a really special birthday dinner here with my husband and loved it. Great food, great service and would recommend it highly if you want a break from the really touristy places.

Nous avons passé deux excellents moments dans une ambiance feutrée ! Service impeccable et carte à la hauteur de nos attentes !

Buona scelta per un dopo spettacolo, qualità dei piatti valida, prezzi decisamente alti se rapportati alla tipologia dei piatti

This restaurant will appeal to a certain type of diner. The service is classical European high style - the tuxedoed, multilingual waiters professional and disengaged. The food, a group of high style standards that blend classic French and Northern Italian, is presented exquisitely. The ambiance, turn of the (which??) century Rococo (maroon velvet and gold wall paper). And a wine list that starts in the 70's but rapidly ascends to 200+ bottles with a few braggadocio wines cresting the grand mark. (To be fair the suggested by the glass wine parings were excellent, and at 12-15 a glass, relatively reasonably priced.) But in the end, it all seems incredibly bland and impersonal. Both my duck breast and my wife's filet were clearly cooked sous vide, which had them buttery soft before being swathed in deep wine based sauces. But, there was very little real taste beyond rich, and melt in your mouth soft. My antipasto, a pumpkin and cream based flan with a cream source, had a silky texture; but if you asked me to identify a standout flavor, I would be stumped. The whole shebang seemed like it was trapped in what passed as an elite restaurant in 1968. Which is probably why the large group of bejeweled German diners in their 70's seems to be so impressed. But for my wife and I, admittedly only 10 years behind that group, it seems very much a missed opportunity, especially for a 275 euro price tag (inc one 80 euro bottle of wine). Today's chefs, even in mid range restaurants, are far more inventive, even with standard menu items. And as much as I enjoy professional service, this seemed at once, prissy and perfunctory I'll also admit, our impression was colored by the company we kept. On one side a local paterfamilias entertaining his daughter and son-in-law, droned on, without taking a breath the entire night. On the other, a family with 13 year-old bored out his gourd son and 2 year old in PJs and high chair who squealed throughout the night. Why parents take kids to places like this is beyond me. And while perhaps this was a factor of the large German group that took up the core restaurant space, we seemed to be seated in an overflow area bright enough to serve as an operating room. Not really the romantic dinner I had planned. Net, net, so many more fun, engaging and interesting places to eat in Venice than this.
