    Stopped in because the vibe was cute and we were starving for lunch. They did not disappoint! Our food was delicious and reasonably priced. My husband got the lasagna and me the spaghetti bolognese. Would recommend.

    Spaghetti carbonara
    Audrey F.

    Venice was incredibly crowded when I visited in July, so finding this quieter restaurant close to Piazza San Marco was a relief. Al Chianti is on the smaller side with only a few tables inside and on the patio. However, that means you don't have to fight the crowd for food or service, which was attentive and friendly. My brother and I tried the spaghetti carbonara, which was delicious and came with chunks of smoky, fatty pork. The waiter also topped it with fresh parmesan for extra flavor. We liked that the spaghetti had plenty of cheesy and porky flavor without being super heavy.

    Wowza this dish in particular was good!!!!!!! Gets busy fast, totally understand why they have some of the best rating in Venice. Perfect last day in Venice meal.. I told my bf at the table, the waiter could've spit in my face and I still would've rated this meal 5 stars.

    Bruschetta assortment, wild boar ham with Pecorino cheese and honey.

    Our lunch at Al Chianti was wonderful! The food was delicious and the owner was very helpful and gracious. If you visit, try the wild boar ham with Pecorino cheese and honey. It was unbelievably good! The bruschetta assortment was also excellent.

    Thanks Yelpers for guiding me in Venice to this really nice Italian restaurant. We had a bad experience last night without any research and once again Yelp has saved us!! We came here for lunch yesterday. The place was small but the tables were spaced out nicely so not super cramped. You must try their fish bowl - fresh seafood including clams, mussels, shrimp and swordfish...and the soupy sauce was amazing! And the pizza was also very good! The location is perfect as it is close to the main tourist attraction in Venice - St. Mark's Square. So if you're planning you're trip, be sure to stop here for lunch or dinner.

    spaghetti alla pesto

    Super nice. Very cozy with a relaxing atmosphere. After a long day of traveling these dishes hit the spot. The spaghetti w/ pesto had the perfect balance, spaghetti w/ carbonara was uniquely rich yet light. I would also highly suggest ordering the bruschetta as an appetizer, it really sets the tone for the meal. Update!! We couldn't leave San Marcos without coming back here on our last night. This time we knew what to expect but we loved it all the same. Possibly even more. The owner is so kind and genuine with all of his customers. The bruschetta truly almost brought tears to my eyes, mostly because it's our last night and I may never get to have this place again. The fish chowder blew us away, truly. In presentation and flavor, it was quite the showstopper. Truly perfection in the form of a restaurant. Please come here!!!

    Calamari and mussels

    I recommend making a reservation for dinner as they are quite busy. I absolutely loved this restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious! I was so happy to find this place since the San Marco area is notorious for very touristy restaurants. We had the fried calamari and stewed mussels for antipasto, and then I had the sole meunière. The best sole I've ever had! The waiters were so friendly and fun. It was such a wonderful dining experience.

    Spaghetti al mare e gnocchi con formaggio!
    Zvezdana O.

    When you're hungry in one of the most tourist-soaked places in the world it can be hard to figure out what's good! We were steps from San Marco and "interviewed" a few of the restaurants in the strip. I whipped out my phone and saw that this place had many reviews and over 4 star average. I also saw a pasta come out and it looked delicious and huge, lol. SOLD!!! Where can we sit?!! My pasta I ate here has been the best pasta of this whole trip to Italy (a plate of creamy strozzapreti in Bologna gets an honorable mention, hehe). The gnocchi were delicious too. The service was prompt and warm too. One of the older waiters was singing, hehe. I may be coming back to Venice in a month or two and I will be back here. Raccomando!!! Tutto buonissimo!

    One of the best lattes! Great service, pizza and squid spaghetti.

    Great food and service, one of the best lattes! Try the black spaghetti! Cosy little place, very recommended.

    Spaghetti pesto (front) spaghetti with seafood (back)
    Susan H.

    A good spot - very friendly and helpful service. Close to saint mark square - in the midst of many touristy/salesy options I'd recommend this one.

    Tagliatelle carbonara
    Mathias R.

    By far the best food we've had in Venice! The pasta was amazing!! Along with the service. We started with the pesto spaghetti then moved on to the Carbonara but changed the pasta from spaghetti to tagliatelle. We closed out the pasta experience with the four cheese ñoquis(not photographed)! For dessert (always a must) we had the home-made tiramisu and the chocolate panna cotta. We plan on going back for their pizza and probably more pasta!! Definitely a must-try when visiting Venice.

    2 words- food poisoning. We came here for dinner on our first night in Venice because of the great…read morereviews. The staff was so kind and helpful! We sat indoors which felt so nice with the AC! The food and drinks were okay taste-wise. I would give the taste a 6.5 out of 10. Good yet not tons of flavor. The food was good for filling our tummies in the moment but not good enough to return. The worst part - food poisoning. I had the calamari and boyyyyy was I sick afterwards. It turned our experience from "okay" to "ouchhhhh". Unfortunately, we will not be returning for more. :(

    Was able to make a reservation for 3 somehow on some local platform (spouse) for 8 pm Sunday…read moreevening in June. Other walk in accommodated as much as possible. Arrived a bit early and seated at window seat inside immediately. The inside is cozy but adequate. The staff hustled and were very efficient and friendly. We ordered the seafood special based upon walking in and seeing a huge pan on fresh seafood on table and thus made it easy for me and the kid to decide. It was their house special at 35 euros per person (minimum 2). Included lobster and a bunch of shrimp, clams, mussels, and calamari in a red broth. Also two large scallops. Takes at least 30 minutes to prep so need the appetizers to get you by. The also close out the special by tossing in pasta after your done with the seafood into the remaining broth. Full disclosure it's a mess to eat. Must use hands. The cover you with s bib. It was delicious. The spouse does not like briny seafood so she didn't eat much but more than enough for 3 (except not for the scallops and lobster portion). We started with a few appetizers. Spouse had the lasagna. It looked good and home made but again I ignored it due to the mountain in front of me. A few drinks and bottle of water. I wish the pasta was available before the end but understand they want to toss it into your pan of sauce. I had originally asked to order a pasta to complement but they said it came with a pasta after ( so I agreed ). Obviously we are tourist so I can't take extra home of which would have been plenty. Total cost about 143 euros. (No additional taxes or tip). Credit card available but we needed to roll home to hotel so left 150 cash on table.
