I migliori ristoranti di cucina pesce in Venezia

16/05/2026: Excellent value for money. The service is superb. Get ready for a night out with Mauro Lorenzon that will give you stories to last a lifetime. Cheers!

10/05/2026: Rudeness as an appetizer, pasta with sandy clams covered in oil as a first course, raw liver as a second course (they say they make it "pink" but it was literally raw, I didn't think I'd ordered tartare, inedible), unfairly high bill. If you don't want to be a waiter, your doctor won't prescribe it. Furthermore, after all this rudeness, they even had the nerve to ask for a tip.

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.

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.

21/03/2026: From 5 stars I go to 1 star for the incompetent service and cunning in selling unwanted items.

01/12/2025: I wanted to know, if anyone could help me, why the restaurant's phone number is still unavailable. Have they changed the number? Is it still open? Thanks.

09/06/2026: The view of the water is great, but the food and service are rather mediocre. Given the price, we had expected significantly more.

07/06/2026: The food and service are excellent. Highly recommended.

02/06/2026: Dinner after a day at the beach in Jesolo. Excellent fried food and very good first courses. I'll definitely be back.

01/06/2026: The only downside is that the cover charge is €3.50 per person, which is a bit pricey!

01/06/2026: Found by chance, it turned out to be a delightful discovery! Intimate and traditional atmosphere, super-fresh food, typical ciosette dishes, and friendly, helpful staff! Highly recommended, we'll definitely be back!

10/05/2026: Wandering through the streets of Chioggia, we stopped for lunch at this restaurant. We were immediately greeted warmly and the service was excellent, but what compels me to write a review is that I enjoyed the food very much: fresh, well-prepared fish. I'm satisfied and highly recommend it.

06/06/2026: We had an amazing evening at Perla Near. The food is amazing, service was great and we highly recommend the Prosecco! 10/10 - no complaints 😄

06/06/2026: One of my favorite restaurants in Jesolo!!

08/05/2026: I've been frequenting Locanda al Piave for at least 35 years, and I must say that every time I return, I always have a great time and even try a few new dishes. What can I say, everything is delicious: appetizers, first courses, second courses, and excellent service. The prices are a bit steep, but in line with the numerous courses and other seafood restaurants. Always excellent.

04/01/2026: The quality of the fish is good, but the price is decidedly high. We made the mistake of not requesting the menu, and the restaurant made the mistake of not providing one, limiting itself to verbally announcing the dishes. Service was very slow; almost three hours for seven appetizers seems a bit excessive. Finally, the receipt lists a single €225 item (for three people) for appetizers, without any details on the cost of individual dishes, which doesn't appear particularly professional. We recommend greater transparency in communication and pricing.

29/05/2026: Lunch show, excellent dishes, wonderful location, kind and professional staff

23/05/2026: Horrible, tasteless food Endless wait But above all, rude, unprofessional, and UNPREPARED staff.

03/05/2026: A very simple and spartan place, but the food is excellent. Fresh catch of the day and some frozen dishes are available. I recommend the appetizers and mixed grill. Unpretentious, reasonably priced, and friendly staff! We'll definitely be back.

01/05/2026: The atmosphere was unpretentious but looked intriguing, and the dishes looked good too... the problem? After sitting where indicated, we waited 15 minutes for someone to come take our order... so we went to the counter and were assured they'd be right there... another 5-minute wait, no one in sight... we got up and said goodbye! In response to the owners: I'd say I eat wherever I want, especially where I have service... like at a restaurant not far from yours.

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.

16/11/2025: Super fresh fish, sophisticated dishes. Highly recommended!

31/10/2025: Excellent little seafood restaurant nestled in the porticoes of central Mestre... Phenomenal, carefully prepared dishes, a smart-casual atmosphere suitable for both a business lunch and a romantic dinner, and a friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and extremely kind owner. The only downside is that since there's only her and her husband in the kitchen, don't expect fast service: La Scuea is for enjoying a meal, not for a quick sandwich, remember that! In any case, a highly recommended place! Oh, and ps: the place is small, so it's best to book in advance!

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 🍸❤️

31/05/2026: This restaurant was a very pleasant surprise; we had divine seafood dishes. The staff is also very friendly, and we even got a taste of a delicious coffee liqueur! I highly recommend it, don't miss out!

03/05/2026: The fish appetizers were far below expectations, overcooked and therefore stringy, the sparkling wine in a carafe, and the bill was over €70 per person. Only the fried food was a good deal, but even that wasn't up to par and definitely average for places where you pay €35-40 per person. The service was good.
