Diago was a very good, friendly and talkative waiter; I would recommend the restaurant.

Food was good and service staff was friendly. Had a good chat with them. Opens till late.

The seafood pasta was absolutely delicious! There was air conditioning and the service was excellent.

The pasta portions are very small and the flavor is bland. I don't recommend it.

Amazing food and wonderful service! Diego and Roman made our visit so special with their kindness. A truly great experience.

Today I arrived in Venice and, after getting settled into my hotel for the next few days, I did what any sensible traveler would do: immediately started wandering the maze of streets in search of my first Venetian meal. I stumbled across Trattoria da Gianni tucked along a busy street with most tables already full, which is usually a good sign. No overthinking it, I took a seat and went with my usual test dish—spaghetti carbonara—paired with a Coca-Cola. After a short wait of about five minutes, the plate arrived piping hot, steam rising off it like it had just been sent straight from the heart of the kitchen. First impression: simple, honest, and inviting. I added a generous sprinkle of Parmesan, gave it a quick mix, and went in. That first bite delivered exactly what you hope for in a place like this. The pasta was cooked beautifully—firm but not stiff—and the sauce was rich, creamy, and well balanced without being heavy. It had that comforting, no-nonsense flavor that makes you slow down and actually pay attention to what you’re eating. Sitting outside under the open-air Venetian streetscape added to the experience. Between bites you’ve got the rhythm of people passing by, conversations bouncing off the surrounding buildings, and that relaxed energy only Venice seems to pull off so effortlessly. It’s the kind of spot where you can easily lose track of time—half people-watching, half just enjoying the moment. All in all, Trattoria da Gianni delivered a solid first meal in Venice. Nothing overly complicated, just good food in a great setting—which is exactly what you want when you’re starting a stay in a city like this. I’ll almost certainly find myself back here again before I leave Venice.
