We had a wonderful melon & cured ham appetizer followed by spaghetti alla carbonara and the chicken tasty & potatoes. I know it was a very fancy place, my husband and I hadn't eaten all day and they brought everything quickly and very friendly. Would come again! read more

We had a very nice meal here with traditional meats/cheese appetizers and spaghetti and sea bass for entrees. The service was impecible, the atmosphere relaxed and traditional. Highly recommend! read more

I've downloaded this app for the sole reason of telling you NOT TO EAT HERE. There is no vegetarian options, unlike what they tell you if you ask them. Even if you're not vegetarian, you still need to sell a kidney to eat here. In general, unless you want to either get in debt or eat nothing, this is a great place to visit! read more

Found this on a whim just by walking by. We had a lovely time here and all the food was so nice: the staff was really friendly and accommodating even with the language barrier. I was so excited to get some veggies in and the pasta dish was one my favorites. It was lightly spicy and just what I needed. Highly recommend! read more

I found this restaurant serving the traditional dish Fegato alla Veneziana, and it truly didn't disappoint. This Venetian specialty pairs tender calf's liver with slow cooked, caramelized onions, beautifully complemented by a side of creamy polenta. read more

Favorite meal I've had in Venice. Food, perfection and not to miss. Prices, amazing. The vibe and energy of the place, truly the best and made my trip. Service, immaculate. You'd be dumb to not come here and try it. If you only have one sit down meal in Venice, come to ca' dolfin. Seafood appetizer is unreal. So so good. read more

I love what I ordered. I got a Venetian liver. They cooked it perfectly and very tasty. One of my friend ordered a shrimp and zucchini, but they gave her a shrimp and mushroom. It was hard to communicate with them. They said they're going to change it. End up, they gave us two orders of shrimp and zucchini. After all, they took it back and fixed the bill. :) read more

We had such a wonderful dinner at Ca' Dolfin! Everything was delicious, my husband even had two desserts, he couldn't resist. The waiter was kind and attentive. A lovely experience we'll remember from our time in Venice! read more

Best place to dine when in Venice. We had in the house limoncello, our first time to try. We hope to visit again soon. read more

Ca' Dolfin - Best experience ever in Venice. - Pizza Near Me - Venezia, VE

Great Comfort Food... Pros: Homey ambiance. Friendly service. Super value. Cons: None...except it's 6,000 miles from home. Star Ratings: - Overall: 5 - Food Taste: 5 - Food Portions: 5 - Location: 5 - Ambiance: 5 - Menu: 5 - Service: 5 - Price: 5 - Value: 5 Two couples traveling together from the US were faced with an enviable task. Which restaurants to choose for dinner among the hundreds of reputable places in Venice and near our hotel, the Moresco? Our selection on the first night was a bust. It had great reviews, but disappointing food and service. The second night was fine, but not worthy of a return. The third night was a fantastic multi-stop tour of the Cannaregio District. Finally, the fourth and final night. We walked by Dolfin on several occasions and always admired the atmosphere, but hesitated taking the leap because we favored outside dining in these times of Covid and it only had 4 tables for 2 out front. However, the place was so inviting we broke our rules...and glad we did. - Location: Hard to describe. It was 3 or 4 blocks from the Hotel Moresco, but that involved a number of twists and turns as with most things in the original part of Venice. - Ambiance: Homey. Although we were 4 strangers in this part of the world, the ambiance, smells and staff of Dolfin put us immediately at ease. It reminded me of the great family Italian restaurants in the New York area which every neighborhood seemed to have in the 1960s and 70s. - Menu: Something for everyone. My wife and I are mainly vegetarians (with fish) and had no problem with lots of choices. Plus a nice list of beer and wine. - Food Quality: The best. Dolfin might not serve the fanciest of food, but all 4 of us couldn't get enough. I forgot what we ordered, but everything from appetizers to bread to soup to main courses brought a smile. Great comfort food. - Food Portions: They don't skimp. We're all fans of Italian food and none of us left hungry. - Service: Friendly and attentive. They didn't try to pull a fast one over on the tourists. - Wait for a Table: None. We arrived at 6 PM and were easily accommodated. - Price and Value: The best. We'd normally pay 50% more for a similar place in the US. One of the more interesting facets of our meal - at least for me - was watching people enter Dolfin who seemed like local residents. With all the choices beckoning diners in such a popular destination, it was a welcome sight to note how many patrons were greeted as regulars. If I lived 6,000 miles closer, I'd join the crowd. read more

This place was great. We ordered the bruschetta to start, then followed with a delicious carbonara and another seafood based pasta. We also ordered a bottle of the house wine, which was amazing and ended our meal with a traditional cappuccino. Great spot. Friendly staff and easy to find! read more

Walking through Venice there is a lack of public restrooms. Many of my restaurant selections were influenced by my need to use the restroom and Ca' Dolfin is no exception. There was a gentleman standing in the doorway attempting passersby to eat here. We came in and there was one person eating a seafood soup which my wife immediately identified that she wanted the same thing. We sat down and I had decided on the Diavolo Pizza with "spicy Salami" known as pepperoni. I also ordered a cheese tortellini in cream sauce with ham. After we ordered we used the restroom after hours of walking and shopping. The food arrived and was not bad. The seafood soup hit the spot for my wife and mine was OK. 3.5 stars! read more

Our favorite restaurant in all of Venezia. Staff is really friendly, food is top notch. We will always go out of our way to visit Ca Dolfin.

Very tasty dishes. Recommend the octopus salad for appetizer. The grilled fish plate was awesome for secondi. We also enjoyed the tortellini with ham and mushroom for Primi and tiramisu was great!! Service was awesome, lovely people!!! read more

Would come again! Great food and staff. Food came out quick and was affordable! Get the lasagna

This was a great dinner spot. This restaurant was located near our hotel and as we were passing by we decided to try it out. It was very busy at the time. The service here was amazing. Any questions I had, the server helped me out. We sat down near the window, but there were heaters all over so it stayed warm inside (December). Everything looked great, but because we were trying to go to several places, my boyfriend and I decided to get a pizza and the pasta tortellini. We also got a bottle of wine. This is a large menu with first, second and third plate dinner menus. The tortellini is a must ! Out of all the foods I tried in Venice, this specific dish was my favorite ! The sauce was so delicious ! The restaurant feels very cozy and homey. I really enjoyed the food and the overall atmosphere here. read more

This restaurant has a very extensive menu, including some very traditional venetian food. The staff was very attentive, and they handled all of our special requests (even the ones a few in our party should have had better manners than to ask). read more

Fantastic food and quaint atmosphere. Service was very good - however the spaghetti bursars and spaghetti with clams was some of the best I have had. I wish I would have thought to take pics because the presentation was good as well. read more

Had a lovely meal here with friendly service. Waitstaff was charming, especially Flo!

We ate there twice on our trip to Venice, by far our favorite Venice restaurant. The lasagna is the best we have ever had, and service is excellent. Great ambiance! read more

Good food friendly service. We came on consecutive nights because they made us feel like they appreciated our business.

We were looking for a late night dinner spot and they were closing up but agreed to stay open for us. Our whole party had the pizza and it was amazing. Great food and service, wonderful experience over all! read more

The service is excellent. We ordered spaghetti with squid ink, home made sauce and more. The noodle was cooked perfectly and the sauce was so tasty! Thank you! read more

Two times within a few days we were in Ca'Dolfin during our stay in Venice. You might get a good pizza anywhere, but if you want to enjoy delicious, homemade, fresh Venetian food, this is the place to go! The host radiated from a passion for the delicious specialties and warm hospitality. Extremely attentive service, never pushy, with a sense of humor, and as someone has already written, "the feeling of being invited to dinner at an old friend's place". No tourist trap. In addition to various antipasti, we tried the "frittura", a huge plate of freshly caught, delicious seafood and fish and vegetables baked in a delicate batter, noting compared to the frozen products that are occasionally found more far away from the coast. Then on the second evening the "Squid Venetian Style" - the best preparation of this classic I've ever had. The "little extra" of grappa or limoncello, which others have already mentioned, was also available, but without it feeling routine. Most certainly an address to which we will return when we are back in Venice, hoping to find a place in the "living room" of the host! read more

We were walking away from the San Marco Square area looking for a seafood restaurant when my wife saw the food being served through the window. We decided to give it a try. We started with the seafood soup which was one of the best I've ever had. We then had the mixed grilled seafood platter for two. Amazingly fresh and incredibly flavorful seafood. And the service was second to none. I read some reviews saying the food was mediocre. That wasn't our experience at all. This place is head and shoulders above all the other restaurants in the area. The food was seriously outstanding. I'm going to be back for sure next time I'm in Venice. Highly recommended. read more

Great food, nice service and tasty squid-inked spaghetti :) ooh mamma mia :) I strongly recommend to everyone. Do not go to tourist hunter restaurants, go Ca-Dolfin like we did :) read more
