I can still remember biting through the thick but airy focaccia to the crisp bottom - I have no idea how they get this texture so perfect but it might be one of the best focaccia's I've had in my entire life. We shared 3 slices between the 3 of us so we could try them all. The mushroom and proscuitto one was my favorite, but I also really liked the spicy salami one and the tomato pesto. All the ingredients tasted so fresh and paired so well together. I was so happy after this meal and would definitely recommend this spot for anyone in Venice!

Date of visit: May 28, 2025…read more The rule for tourist towns such as Venice: Avoid any place that has pictures on the menu outside, folks waving you in, or giant signs outside. Al Garzoti doesn't have any of these things, with their name only appearing inside on the bar. Service is nothing to write home about; our waiter who looked like a young Nick Jonas, minus the charm, barely interacted with us, but the food he brought us was wonderful! If you've already had some pizza while in Italy, then go with a calzone instead. They are large and a great value, too. Note the ingredients first, though; Italians do not like substitutions. I tried a pezzo di pizze with ham and that too, was great!

My son got one with tomatoes and mozzarella. He did not share one piece of his deliciousness because it was that good! . A must go when ever in Venice.

The calzones are large and affordable.

In waiters defense, I and my wife were part of a large tour group. The waiter knew that we did not speak Italian and would not be visiting again anytime soon. None the less, I dislike being overcharged, as it is annoying. Relative to the food, the Pizza did not have much cheese on it. Once again, I attribute the lack of cheese to being part of a large tour group and the restaurant minimizing food costs where they can. Visitors to Venice have better alternatives. If you have to eat at this restaurant, for whatever reason, do what you can avoid being tagged as foreign tourist. From what I gather from other reviews, Italian customers probably get better service because they can speak the language and can pushing back on the BS I encountered.

Instead of handling it professionally, a tall blonde employee immediately snapped at me, saying, "Why would you put your card down? That's not your bill." I apologized right away, but she continued to act incredibly rude--rolling her eyes, shaking her head, and talking under her breath while processing the refund. It only got worse from there. When I reached for a slice that had been placed in front of me, she barked, "No, that's not yours." At that point, I felt completely unwelcome and didn't even want the food anymore, so I asked for a refund so I could leave. She refused, claiming the pizza was already in the oven and that I "had to pay for it." She then tried to say I only ordered one slice, when I very clearly ordered four. The entire situation was handled in the most unprofessional, hostile way possible. There was zero accountability, no basic customer service, and the way I was spoken to was completely unacceptable. I have never been treated like that at any business. Save your money and go somewhere else.

Did I just get a frozen, out of the box pizza?…read more Yes, yes, I did! Came here with some friends, decided to order a Davola pizza. And what I got seem to be an out of the box, undercooked, pepperoni cheese, pizza. Now,I just spent weeks traveling all around northern Italy, eating pizzas, and this was by far the worst pizza. I've had better pizza from Aldi's Now, I rarely give a one star rating, unless it's truly deserved. When I asked the waiter, if this was a Davola pizza, he just shrugged it off and said yes. You need to do better! Now, the good part... The restaurant itself is cute, laid-back, and just off the beaten path. My friends had seafood pasta, which they said it was OK to good. I didn't dare try it. Overall, you get the one star. My only one star in Italy on this trip.. congratulations.
