I migliori ristoranti in Venezia

14/09/2025: I spent €61 for four pizzas and a beer to go. An exorbitant amount, which one would expect to be justified by the quality and attention to detail. Instead, the pizzas were burnt, poorly prepared, and delivered 30 minutes after the agreed-upon time. The only positive note was the beer, which was actually pleasant... but at €17 for a 750ml, I'd say the satisfaction was more of a duty than a merit. Overall, a disappointing experience, lacking a balance between price, quality, and service. Definitely not a place I'll be happy to return to.

14/09/2025: Beef steak with fries and vegetables Lasagna Everything perfect

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.

11/06/2026: Really delicious food and great service. Everyone is really friendly. We had Andrea as our waiter and he was super friendly and accommodating.

30/05/2026: Very friendly staff. However, the spaghetti bolognese was too salty. The four-cheese pizza was decent.

01/11/2025: I find their pizzas excellent and light, with a wide variety of toppings and dough types. Plus, they're always adding new ingredients with different combinations! The owner is very kind and always tries to accommodate your pickup or delivery times! I highly recommend La Stra.

01/11/2025: A good takeout pizzeria serving fine pizzas. The menu is varied, with some unusual flavors. The marinara is excellent: instead of whole garlic, they use garlic-garlic parsley. The burrata, however (taking a fancy approach) wasn't anything special, a bit dry. There was a slight delay with the home delivery, but nothing significant.

15/12/2025: Friendly and attentive service. Pizza was overpriced and too noisy.

19/11/2025: Friendly staff and the bartender is gorgeous!! 😂😂😂 Fast service and the bar is very clean. Congratulations!

01/06/2026: This is a local favourite spot and they are trying to preserve the environment of the space from tourism. If you are a tourist, please search up some basic phrases and order in Italian, don’t disturb the regulars, and don’t take pictures inside the shop. The owner was very kind to us despite our incompetent Italian. Grazie!

29/05/2026: This is the third time I've been to this place And I've decided not to go again. Everything you ask, the answer is no!!! If you want to ruin your evening, come to me!!! It's a nonsense, you make better cocktails at home.
