    Pizza with spicy salami
    Campbell L.

    Food was amazing! Pizza with spicy salami had perfect crust and flavor. Sauce was also great. We both had latte's and those were great as well! Very quick service and the ambiance felt like a classic Italian place.

    Bruschetta

    Phenomenal experience! Two of us stopped by after a long day of travel! The staff were super personable ! We are from the US and they communicated with us in english. Our server has a true passion for italy and dishes unique to each city. He gave us recommendations to eat and was a true pleasure to have met. This place is a true hidden gem in Venice!

    Al Vaporetto is an amazing little spot in Venice that was open late enough by the time we got into town. It was our first meal in Venice, and it delivered the way we needed it to. I almost gave it 4 stars, but... I'm so appreciative of the staff for still cooking for us. The environment was like a classic Italian restaurant and had some very fun decore using corks throughout the restaurant. It was a very open space, and honestly, I'd love to go back and enjoy more of the menu. The service was beyond amazing. All of our servers were polite, great with suggestions, attentive, and made sure we were happy with our dishes. They even stood open a little later for us, so honestly, I'm so appreciative of yall. The food was on par with all the Italian food that I'm had the whole trip. Honestly, everything we ate abroad was just so delicious. The sauces, pasta, and sea food was so fresh and refreshing. The seafood pasta I had was pretty good, but some of the shrimp were a bit dry. And pizza was fire, and so was the caprice. The spaghetti and meatballs were delicious and harty... all we needed was some spice, and we were golden. I'd definitely hold Al Vaporetto in my archive when I return and honestly can't wait to see Venice again.

    This is like a fast casual spot in Venice. We found they had excellent pizza and a lovely staff. It was a nice break from the fine dining of Italy.

    So happy we came across this place!!! It was pouring rain and we were turned away from another restaurant because we didn't have reservations. Al Vaporetto was on our way to our hotel and was filled with people and they looked dry and happy. As soon as we walked in, the host gave us a small bag to put our portable umbrellas in and sat us right away, in between other busy tables. Stayed crowded but didn't feel cramped in. Each of the servers were really nice. Ordered two dishes: filet of beef and a pasta with 1/2 lobster. Both were good. For dessert, we had the tiramisu. My husband usually doesn't care for tiramisu, so we shared one. As soon as we each took a bite, we regretted not ordering two. Plan to go back again. (And will each be ordering our own desserts!)

    The bill the second time.

    7/3/23- we went there a second time. Than stellar experience this time. They forgot to bring the bread out and we asked for it. It was far slower today than the other day. It took twice as long as the food to arrive. Also, we had to ask where the appetizer was. They forgot. Customer service was a minus 2 stars. The food was good again though. Total cost was just 62 euro. Gave 65 euro looking for change so we can give a tip higher than 3. Took the money and never came back. The waiter robbed himself a bigger tip by not giving back the change.

    Carbonara

    Excellent service with Leo. Would recommend this ristorante. Had fresh shrimp and it was excellent along with Carbonara and bruschetta.

    Spaghetti with Meatballs
    Matt G.

    This was one of those places that was open where we needed to use a restroom. A guy was standing at the entrance trying to rope people in. We came in and looked at the menu and decided to order. I ordered a prosciutto pizza with a chicken tenderloin with fries while my wife ordered the spaghetti with meatballs. After ordering we both used the restroom and were happy. The food came out in a timely manner and looked good enough. The food was OK, not great or bad. Bottom line, it filled the hunger and restroom need. it was the right place at the right time. Three stars!

    Pasta with ragu. Pasta over cooked. Sauce bland. Pass.
    Emily W.

    Waiter was SUPER rude. Waiters had their masks hanging off their face. Tables super close together. Food was bland and mediocre at best. There is MUCH better food on this street. Skip this one.

    Salad

    Clam pasta has lots of sand. Also, I had to add salt and pepper to eat it. Flavor is lacking. Be aware of sharing, they charge you 6 euros. I would not come here again.

    Avoid. Food is less than mediocre. Ordered the Milanese and got flat dried chicken fillet with no flavor.

    The food was just okay. We sat by the window which was nice but got swarmed by a gang of gnats which was annoying. They had the door open. Our server was very nice. I had the whole bass fish which she took apart for me. It was good. Not too filling but that's all I could eat because at the point I was ready to go because the gnats were so annoying. The bruschetta was cool. Got that as an appetizer. Can't say I would go back but if you're looking for budget friendly prices this may be for you.

    Best drink ever!!!

    My first day in Venice and this is the first restaurant I'm trying out in Italy. It seems like this place was full of locals so the food has gotta be good, right? Well, I ordered a hamburger with chips (fries) and an awesome drink that a local recommended. Some of my fries were cold and some of them were steaming hot. That was odd. The hamburger bun also tasted as if it had been defrosted right before I ordered it. This place is definitely casual dining and I will be back for the milanese, pasta, dessert and espresso. They start you out with water with gas ( sparkling water) or without gas ( bottled water). The staff is very friendly. There was a guy standing outside who answered any questions I had about the menu. He was very charming.

    See all

    We had such high hopes. Small portions, very slow service, and expensive. There is much better to be had in this great city.
