    Cute little spot in the heart of Venice! The inside is small, but there is additional seating outside. We got the squid ink pasta, and scallops. The scallops were a bit chewy and the pasta could have been a bit more flavorful, but overall, we enjoyed it. Would recommend!

    This place is so good we went twice. Great atmosphere and even better food. You can tell this is a quality spot, the food is simple and delicious. Loved the tomato and mozzarella, pesto pasta, fish and lasagna. Service is also friendly. Really enjoy this spot.

    Excellent location, food, service! Great indoor and outdoor ambiance too! We ordered the lasagna bolognese and gnocchi Gorgonzola. Both were delicious. My wife ordered two aperol spritz! Best she ever had

    Al Vecio Maragon was recommended by a friend. Wow! Located near the Gallerie dell' Accademia, Al Vechio Maragon had delicious food that we normally do not see in any Italian restaurant in the USA. The enjoyed the Fish Lasagna, Purple Gnocchi and a perfectly prepared plate of grilled vegetables. The house white wine paired perfectly with the Fish Lasagna and the Purple Gnocchi. Al Vechio Maragon charged a song for the amazing food and experience. Service was fast, friendly and efficient.

    Awesome good and great atmosphere makes a memorable night in the heart of Venice. Off the beaten path and incredible Venetian food. What a combo. All the pastas and seconds are fresh. Our party left super happy. They even served us a drink while we were waiting outside.

    View from other alley. Definitely tucked in here.

    Came here with two friends. We were seated at a long table in a pretty tight area. Two other parties of two were then seated at the same table. But it was nice because it gave us a chance to meet some new people. The restaurant is pretty small but there is some additional outdoor seating. The place fills up quickly and people wait outside to be seated. We started our meal by sharing a caprese salad. The mozzarella was tender and creamy. Really good. I ordered the gnocchi Gorgonzola. It was really rich and good. My friend had the gnocchi Bolognese and enjoyed it also. They do speak limited English. The server seemed somewhat overwhelmed and wasn't friendly. But she was efficient. It was nice to come to a place that was off the beaten path. I would return.

    All around good food. If you want to get down with fresh warm bread, tasty olive oil, fresh veggies, and a filling authentic pasta dish, this is where you want to go. You can find salad, pasta, meat, and fish. Bread: freshly baked baguette. Enough said Started with the vegetable platter: combination of cooked-hot veggies and room temperature cooked beans. Quite delicious when I added a bit of salt and olive oil. Bean soup: made with pinto beans( or at least that is what it looked and tasted like) I know pinto is not exactly Italian, so I am not sure if I am correct here. Soup comes out piping hot, flavor was amazing. The olive oil really came through which complimented the flavor of the bean. Gnocchi with meat sauce: meat sauce was one of the best I've tried. More meat than sauce which is nice because most places skimp on the meat. Gnocchi was prepared perfectly-I devoured the whole plate. Also topped with freshly Parmesan cheese which you can request.

    Mediocre at best. Over priced and sad to say, everything seemed day old. Lasagna made a few days ago, not the freshest bread or cookies. Two of us did not each finish our food it wasn't worth eating the lasagnas. Mushy and overcooked. My daughters was ok, no parmigiana was offered for the top. The wine was good though. At least that can't all be bad. Each pasta was about €15, cheese plate of not very good quality cheeses was €11? Total tab was €78 and they charge a €3 sitting fee per person. I would not recommend!

    Absolutely fantastic service by Jeff Goldblum. My wife loved her zucchini gnocchi dish. Small and intimate place. Had a lovely time!

    House Wine, Italian Bean Soup, Crusty Bread, and Fresh Proscuitto and Melon

    One of our favorite meals in Venice! Al Vecio Marangon is tucked away from the main streets and tourist sights of Venice so it is easy to pass up this little hidden gem. The restaurant is near the Grand Canal in the Dorsodoro neighborhood. We stumbled by this restaurant in an attempt to escape the rain. I'm so glad we accidentally found this spot! Everything tastes like it is made from scratch and I wouldn't be surprised if the recipes have been passed down from generation to generation because the food was so authenticly delicious. My husband and I ordered a carafe of the house wine to share. (The house wine in Italy is delicious and costs less than a soda. There is no need to pay for the more expensive bottles when the house wine is delicious!) I ordered a plate of proscuitto and melon and my husband ordered an Italian bean soup that was so hearty and delicious. Everything was super fresh and our meal was served with wonderful crusty bread. Our bill was very inexpensive. I wish we found this spot sooner! I highly recommend dining at this spot if you are visiting Venice.

    Food was excellent, but ask for a liter of wine or end up with 2.5 ounces of wine for a glass. Service was less than friendly.

    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.
