I migliori ristoranti di cucina pesce in Veneto

07/04/2026: Very nice, cozy restaurant, with excellent Italian food.

05/04/2026: A family-run restaurant serving authentic lake fish, just like in the olden days. The staff is friendly and knows how to tell stories and offer excellent advice. They're excellent; it's rare to find someone this good these days.

24/03/2026: We were very disappointed: The service seemed very stressed. The fish was overgrilled. The bread that was served must have been day old. ☹️ Not recommended!!!!

16/05/2026: We used to go to this place many years ago. It's still just as pleasant. The staff has changed, but the welcome is warm. The menu offers a wide selection, the food is very good, and the prices are reasonable.

10/05/2026: A bit expensive for the quality. There are so many better choices in the area. The garden is nice though.

09/05/2026: Great service and amazing food. Highly recommended.

01/05/2026: The pizza with Naso tomato is simply delicious. And the Naso tomato salad appetizer was spectacular. Prices are a little higher than a regular pizzeria, but the quality is excellent. The staff is very friendly.

18/04/2026: I've been coming to La Lanterna for many years. The service is always quick and impeccable. Good pizzas, and the green pepper fillet is excellent. But times change. Last night we ordered a seafood salad with Ascoli olives, buttered spinach, and grilled salmon. Tens of minutes pass, and only the seafood and spinach salad arrives. I ask for the Ascoli olives, but still nothing. I ask again, and they finally arrive, saying they'd lost my order. Meanwhile, I'm getting tired of waiting and losing my appetite for the salmon. I ask, and they tell me they'd lost my order again, this time for the salmon, which I ask them to cancel. I ask for the bill, and what does the waitress do? She brings the bill to my girlfriend instead of me! The service is terrible and makes me lose the desire to eat out. A restaurant in a beautiful location, but it's completely ruined. I recommend trying other restaurants around there; there are plenty.

16/04/2026: I've been getting takeout pizza every week from this restaurant for a couple of years now. In my opinion, it's one of the best in the city center. I've also had the opportunity to eat at the outdoor tables, and the view of the square is beautiful. The staff is always friendly, helpful, and polite. You can tell the owners care deeply about their restaurant, and this is reflected in the staff, who are always impeccable. Recommended for lunch or dinner in the center of Padua!

03/05/2026: Excellent value for money, delicious fried seafood

02/05/2026: Beautiful restaurant with a view of the sea and Chioggia... The food was good, definitely worth trying... I'll leave aside the small flaw in the service, but everything was resolved in a calm and professional manner...

10/05/2026: Excellent fish, attentive service, pleasant atmosphere

09/05/2026: A large restaurant with plenty of seating, spread across two floors and an outdoor area. Plenty of seating, but... it's a shame that the quality of the food and service suffers, which, combined with the owners' poor interpersonal skills, makes this place more mediocre than it really is and could be. The experience improves significantly when the daughter is at the cash register, who knows how to interact with customers with kindness and a smile.

20/04/2026: For a restaurant specializing in fish, serving a sea bream whose skin is hard to peel off is a disgrace. The worst part was the tiramisu. Slow service.

10/04/2026: Very nice place. Welcoming and with attention to detail. Delicious food.

09/04/2026: Great place for a fine dinning meal. Service and food exceptional! Highly recommended.

26/02/2026: SUPER service, thanks to Luca ❤️ The perfect place for couples who want to enjoy Venice while sipping a great drink 🍸❤️

03/05/2026: I was visiting Venice as a tourist and discovered Essentiale almost by chance: one of the best dinners of my trip. A beautiful terrace overlooking the lagoon, a relaxed atmosphere, and truly well-crafted dishes. The cuttlefish “cacio e pepe” with squid ink was an incredible surprise, as was the homemade bread. And the tiramisu? The best I’ve ever had in my life. Honestly, after reading some negative reviews, I was a bit hesitant, but my experience was completely the opposite. If you’re looking for an authentic, refined place with a great view, this restaurant is absolutely worth a visit.

03/05/2026: I went to Essentiale with high expectations... and they were surpassed without further ado. The cuisine has a clear identity, you can taste it right away: few ingredients, well-prepared, with a precise idea behind each dish. You can really feel the craftsmanship; it's not the usual "tourist" fare. Among the dishes that stick in my mind: the cuttlefish tagliatelle with cacio e pepe, ink, and chives is incredible—creamy, intense, with that ink that amplifies everything without overpowering it. It's a dish I'd call brilliant! The handmade tagliatella with clams was delicious! The pasta was incredible, with the freshest clams. You can also sense so much attention to detail: homemade bread (and it shows), and young but attentive service. This is precisely why I struggle to understand some of the recent negative reviews I read online. In my experience, I found the cuisine to be thoughtful, coherent, and full of personality—which is far from a given, especially in an area so full of similar offerings. The service was attentive, young, but passionate and friendly. In my opinion, it's one of those places worth trying for yourself, without being overly influenced.

18/04/2026: Abundant dishes but not very tasty, good service and atmosphere

28/03/2026: Friendly staff. Super fresh and delicious fish.

16/02/2026: I gave it full stars because the location, food, quantity, final cost, and service met my expectations. If you're looking for a place to eat—"portions," pardon the simple term, but good and plentiful—you've come to the right place. For those of us who are budget-conscious, I had a plate of cheese gnocchi, chicken cutlets and fries, bread, and a bottle of water for barely €20. I'll definitely be back.

25/01/2026: The pizzas are excellent. The first course with penne all'arrabbiata was superb. I still have to try the fish dishes. Very good prices. I tried the wood-fired sea bass and the marinated anchovies side dish, and it was absolutely delicious! I also loved the spaghetti with garlic, oil, and chili pepper (plentiful and wonderful for only €5) and the spaghetti carbonara. Very good prices. The "lemon delight" dessert is another gem. Excellent and honest.

28/04/2026: In my opinion there is not a good quality/price ratio.

29/03/2026: Whenever I'm in those parts, I can't help but stop for a seafood meal as only they know how. If I had to give it a score, I'd give it a solid 9. A 10 is something I don't give to anyone. Saturday night was exceptional, to say the least.

24/01/2026: The staff is friendly and attentive. The pizza is very good, and I highly recommend the carbonara. I highly recommend the restaurant. It's simple, friendly, and has a unique personality.

21/01/2026: Excellent salad, very fresh ingredients, and served on a delicious crispy pizza crust. Very friendly staff.

27/10/2025: Great food, amazing atmosphere, but the service and personality of Walter is really what made the night for us. Thank you so much and all the best in your travels

27/10/2025: Wonderful restaurant. Great food and superb service. Thank you Walter, for your personality and your stories. May you live long and prosper. Best wishes from Australia. Thank you very much.
