This place is good for small bites (cichetti) and good wine. We got some cured salmon, fried meat…read moreball and potato balls and calamari with green pesto. The calamari was super good with the lemon zest on it. It was tender and not chewy at all. The cured salmon with lemon squeeze was also excellent. The staff was friendly and orderly and helped us in our choices of wine to enjoy it with. They have a massive collection of wine for you to enjoy and the prices are reasonable. The vibe is loud and lovely with mostly standing room and the seating is limited, both inside and outside.

I'd definitely make the effort to try this Osteria in Venice and grab some ciccetti. The only thing…read moreis - they get super busy and they sell out. I believe we got there around 2:30pm and they were out of everything, with their next round coming out at 4pm. We had time to spare, so we ended up getting multiple rounds of Aperol spritz's and waiting it out. It was worth the wait! The inside is small, and I honestly recommend just sitting outside by the water (just be aware that there are seagulls that might try to steal your food). Side note - it can be quite stressful if you're there during the release of the fresh ciccetti lol. We went in May, I can't imagine what it looks like during the peak summer months! The staff seem stressed too, so just make sure you know what to order when you get to the counter or else you might be skipped!

We had a 3pm reservation for lunch and arrived early, and even though the place was completely…read morepacked, the host was wonderful and seated us right away after noticing a table open. Stepping inside is an experience in itself because the restaurant is housed in a stunning historic building, and the interior is filled with amazing historic decorations that add so much charm. As someone looking for gluten-free options, I was thrilled to see they have a dedicated page on the menu just for gluten-free starters and sides. They even provided me with safe gluten-free bread accompanied by separate olive oil containers, which is always a great touch. We started by sharing the fries, which are made in a dedicated gluten-free fryer, and they came with an addictive spicy mayo sauce. To drink, I ordered a spritz topped with a delicious foam, and it honestly was the best spritz I have ever had. For my main course, I ordered the gluten-free pappadelle with zucchini cream, modified with no meat. It was very good, though the rich sauce became a little heavy after a while when you keep eating. We were too full to look at the dessert menu, but everything else made up for it. Our waitress was extremely nice, attentive, and very knowledgeable about the menu and allergens. Between the history, the great drinks, and the safe gluten-free options, this place is a must-visit!

We visited 2 afternoons and we were only in Venice for 3. According to Google, "Ostaria ai Storti" translates to something like "Tavern to the Crooked." I can't name all the things I had. I know all were yummy and some were fried (I'm hoping vegetarian-safely). Some items were 2,50 euro and some were less. It's not all vegetarian, but there is enough selection that you can pick several things. SEVERAL. Vegetarian dining isn't nearly that good in the midwestern USA yet. The employees were nice. The woman was chatty. I want to go back now!
