Trattoria Pizzeria Antico Gafaro In Venezia

We had the opportunity to have lunch and dinner at this restaurant, and both times the experience was excellent. At lunchtime, we opted for the set tourist menus, and in the evening, we ordered delicious pizzas. Everything was delicious; the food was truly exquisite, so congratulations to the chefs for their great work! We also want to highlight the service, which was impeccable. The two waitresses who served us were always very friendly, attentive, and professional. However, we'd like to share something we witnessed during dinner. A customer (we believe he was French, as we didn't understand him well) began yelling very aggressively at one of the waitresses, the youngest one, it seemed. He said rude things to her, yelled for no reason, and made unfounded accusations, while she, visibly upset, didn't know how to react. It hurt us deeply to see something like that, because no one deserves to be treated that way, much less someone who is simply doing their job with respect and dedication. And in fact, we decided to leave this review because, when looking at the reviews, we saw that that same customer probably wrote a very negative comment about the restaurant, which we find tremendously unfair and far from reality. We want everyone to know that this restaurant is absolutely worth it. We recommend it 100% and send our best wishes to the girl who had to go through that difficult time. Thank you for everything!

As you walk through the door, you notice the affordable menu prices, and we decided to stay for dinner. They have just the right variety to suit everyone. In our case, we opted for gorgonzola gnocchi and vegetable soup for our first course, and steak and Milanese cotoletta. Everything was very good, although it's worth noting that the portions aren't very generous.

A true Italian restaurant at a price you'll love and with delicious food. The service took a little while. But the waitresses are friendly, and the experience is very pleasant, especially if you eat outside.

Price, quality, flavor, excellent service 👍👍

Delicious Italian restaurant in Venice

A very good place, the cheapest I found in Venice, aside from fast food. As of September 2025, main courses are priced between 10 and 15 euros. The food was tasty, but could be better. I ordered mussels/clams, spaghetti with seafood, pizza, and tiramisu. Alcohol is also well-priced, ranging from 2 to 4 euros per glass. The staff speaks both English and Italian (throughout Venice). I wouldn't recommend ordering the seafood dishes; they taste a bit (not all of them, but...) like they're already past their sell-by date or a few days ahead of schedule.

Excellent food, friendly staff. Excellent value. Must try!

Ate here a couple of times and the food was super fresh, hot and fast. Great location at a great price.

Très bon accueil La carte est simple et bon marché en plus des formules à 13 et 15€. Bons produits et bon service. Belles pizzas

Increíble pizza con excelentes precios. El personal es amable y muy bien decorado. La corteza de pizza es crujiente y tiene un gran sabor.
