I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Venezia

29/01/2026: I heard about Ai Casoni through a local sleuth because we were looking for a high-quality restaurant away from the tourist crowds and wanted a nice table by the water. I called and got a reservation for the same evening. The fish and desserts were truly outstanding! We would definitely come back!

20/10/2025: Very cold and rude service. The food was very poor quality. They brought me a pitcher of beer without me even telling them to charge more money. It's normal to ask if it's a pitcher of glass or a beer. The plates are incredibly small, and they charge a service charge of 5 euros.

20/05/2026: We have been coming to this restaurant regularly for several years, and during our stay we repeatedly spent around €200 per evening for four people. We are not the kind of customers who write negative reviews after one small mistake. Quite the opposite — we kept returning because the service used to be friendly and the restaurant had a pleasant atmosphere, even though the quality of the food sometimes depended on the shift and the kitchen staff on duty. Unfortunately, this time we reached the point where we decided we will never come back again. It was obvious that the kitchen staff had changed compared to previous days. The food quality suddenly dropped noticeably and everything felt careless and uninspired — for example, the prosciutto e melone was served with absolutely no attention to presentation or detail. That alone we could still tolerate. However, there were several other problems during the same visit. At the beginning, no bread was brought to the table, even though this had always been standard during our previous visits, and we had to ask for it ourselves. The same happened with Parmesan cheese for the pasta — my wife had to specifically ask for it, even though it was a pasta dish where Parmesan would normally be served automatically. These may seem like small details, but details are exactly what separates a good restaurant from an average one. What became completely unacceptable, however, was the behavior of a new young waiter we had never seen there before. After the starter, he removed the plates and literally dumped the used cutlery back onto the table for us to reuse with the main course. Honestly, we have never experienced something like this even in cheap tourist restaurants. We had to ask for clean cutlery ourselves. And then came the final moment that completely ruined the restaurant for us. The next morning, around 11 AM, we were walking past the restaurant. It was almost empty, and our friend simply wanted to quickly use the restroom. The same waiter aggressively stopped him with his hand and categorically refused to let him in — despite the fact that during the previous several days we had been eating lunches and dinners there regularly and spending a significant amount of money in the restaurant. At that moment, we realized we no longer wanted to return. Our usual long-time waiter was not there at the time, so perhaps the management is not even aware of what is happening. But that makes it even more unfortunate that one unprofessional employee can destroy a relationship and reputation that took years to build. Fortunately, there are many restaurants nearby with better food, more professional service, and staff who actually understand what hospitality and respect for customers mean. Sadly, we will not be returning again.

18/05/2026: Great place, incredibly attentive service. Delicious food. The craft beer, 32 VIA DEI BIRRAI, deserves special mention. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

31/08/2025: excellent restaurant, we enjoyed the spaghetti allo scoglio and the sardines in saor, the atmosphere was very nice and well-kept

27/08/2025: A complete rip-off Cold food, fish weight is incorrect

02/05/2026: Beautiful terrace restaurant overlooking Venice. You don't have to be a hotel guest to eat or drink. Attentive service and a daily and fixed menu are available.

05/05/2026: Returning after years, but completely disappointed. Unfortunately, I only have to give 2 stars to this restaurant, which I remembered as being very good. The pasta with clams was terrible quality, sent back and charged half the price when it came to the bill.

04/05/2026: We went for lunch today. The food was truly awful. We had the pasta with salmon and zucchini, and it was inedible, like glue. We also had a Margherita pizza, and honestly, just looking at it, we immediately thought it wasn't a real pizza. It looked like a reheated crust with tomato and mozzarella on top, with no edges and undercooked. We definitely won't be back; I don't recommend it.

22/05/2026: The crabs all tasted off. The whole group ended up having diarrhea. What a terrible ordeal.

12/05/2026: Please note: despite the signs and information, Ristorante Pizzeria La Perla Rosa is no longer there. The owner, a very kind Chinese woman, told us it's now a Chinese restaurant that caters only to groups. Does anyone know if they've moved?

10/05/2026: Cool ambiance, relaxed, lively atmosphere. Large selection of tasty, appetizing Venetian cicchetti. Diverse selection of mocktails and cocktails. Authentic bacaro in Venice

09/05/2026: Disgusting skewers, full of oil and microwaved… Average wine

21/06/2025: Location molto deludente e ci sono tantissimi moscerini. Si mangia da dio!! É tutto buono!! I gelati non buoni soprattutto il sorbetto che é amaro!!!!

13/06/2025: This is the kind of restaurant where the locals eat. It appeared the staff knew their diners and treated all guests respectfully. It was recommended to us by numerous locals for its truly great Italian food. We walked in when it opened and it was full within a half of an hour. It's off the beaten path in an alley but well worth it. The food was fantastic and the service was great.

20/06/2025: We stopped there on our way home. The owner immediately offered us a grape juice, then a bottle of house wine. All without mentioning a price. We ate for €26. A portion of pasta with mushrooms and a very small veal schnitzel with fries—probably not homemade. The food was okay, but at €50 it was completely overpriced. A shame. The owner was very nice. Nevertheless, we still think it's overpriced. Unfortunately, we can't recommend this restaurant.

31/05/2025: Fantastic place to relax while enjoying a beautiful view (especially at sunset)… a kind and very sweet landlady.

02/06/2026: The best! Coming back to Venice only for them:)

18/05/2026: Unfortunately, this is no longer the place I used to love visiting during my trips to Venice. The decor, the staff, and the menu have changed. My favorite sea bass ceviche is no longer on the menu. It's come and gone. You can delete the tag.

04/05/2026: It's unspeakable that a 10% service charge is added to the final price without prior notice. Is this fair/legal?

03/05/2026: Bland food, overpriced, and delivers very little.

16/03/2026: Warm welcome, good quality food and reasonable prices. Thanks again for the Prosecco and Arancello 😉

03/03/2026: The food was really a bit poor and the bread was terrible, frozen, the place was nice

13/03/2026: Luggage stored there for one day, but not allowed to use the toilet...what?

26/11/2025: They don’t even speak English They took our money for luggage and we didn’t even put them there Also they said that they have no time to help us Worst experience we ever had

08/05/2026: 8.05.2026. Morning. You need to change a mentality and manners of your waiter who during two minutes very loud mentioned that breakfast costs 50 euro per person. And one time said “five zero from person”. I understand that he's used to serving only old people like himself and for him 50 eur is a lot, but in today's world, even those under 30 have money. And if he were interested in art, I'd give him my autograph on a napkin, which he could sell for more than breakfast at the place where he works. We were upset…

09/12/2025: We came to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday. Everything was perfect! Your French-speaking waiter gave us a wonderful welcome. The service was excellent, as was the food, and the atmosphere was everything you could wish for your loved one's birthday. Thanks again for everything, and maybe see you next year, who knows!
