Cà D'Oro alla Vedova In Venezia

This is my second visit to this restaurant in Venice, as it's the place to go for squid ink pasta. The squid ink pasta was delicious as always!! (There have been a lot of harsh comments lately, but I realized that the squid ink sauce is exquisite, and people's preferences differ depending on the firmness and thickness of the noodles. It's like how Japanese people have preferences for ramen noodles.) Since the meatballs were delicious last time, this time I ordered the ragu sauce. Yes, it was delicious as always! The staff provided excellent service, making for a very pleasant experience. On my way out, I bought my usual fried meatballs to take away. (This is actually my favorite, haha!) Thank you for the meal. I'll be back again.

The location is central and easy to reach on foot, in a quiet area despite being in the center of Venice. The prices were a pleasant surprise: we expected much more given the location. We had the fried meatballs as an appetizer, the meatballs in tomato sauce with polenta, and the spaghetti with clams. The meatballs were really good and definitely my recommendation. The pasta with clams, on the other hand, was average (too spicy for my taste, but that's just my personal opinion), while the bread seemed a bit stale. In total, with two coffees, a glass of wine, water, and a cover charge, we spent €61. Overall, I would recommend it especially/only for the meatballs.

We arrived late and were kindly seated, but after some difficulty with timing, we finally managed to order. The baby octopus arrived cold compared to the polenta, and the other dishes were nothing to write home about. The bill was still fair.

The famous polpette are very good!!

Typical Venetian cuisine. A few dishes, but very good. Friendly staff. Book well in advance, especially on weekends.

Only a quick drink ( and a meatball!) but I loved the look of the place. Will have to go back.

A restaurant located in a back alley. It seems to attract more locals than tourists. I went there specifically for the squid ink pasta, and it was delicious.

Great service Highly recommended

We found this restaurant by searching online. Many reviews were good, so we gave it a try. Well, in this case, the experience exceeded our expectations. This historic restaurant is uniquely decorated, serving traditional dishes like Venetian-style liver, which I obviously tried and devoured, and the meatballs, which are truly special. I won't go into detail, but if you want to dine in a quiet setting, with truly friendly staff, and enjoy Venetian specialties, this is the place. If we return to Venice, it will definitely be a stop.

The meatballs are unique. They're also worth trying standing up with a good glass of wine.
