Pizza, pasta and wine was we started our Italian leg of our trip with. Venice is obviously amazing but we weren't in the mood for the tourist trap. Da Roberto is a little off the main path and lived up to what i missed. Outdoor seating was perfect with the fan. Nice and quieter corner away from busy traffic. Service is slower paced as expected. Overall we enjoyed everything even though house red was a bit spicy. Looking forward to compare other restaurant in Venice. read more

We enjoyed a quiet lunch at Da Roberto. It's not a large restaurant but service and food were outstanding. We ordered the pasta all'amatriciana and the carbonara. Just look at the photos. Flawless presentation and great taste. Recommend and will return to next time I'm in Venice. read more

This little quaint but elegant place caught our eye so we decided to dine here. Our server was so friendly and made our night very enjoyable. The food was delicious. The lasagna was nothing like I've ever tasted. It was so creamy. Good to the last bite. I thoroughly enjoyed tonight's dinner. read more

Simple and good As Americans on holiday, this was our first pizza in Italy. We weren't too impressed when compared to what we are used to in the US. My wife ordered a Margarita which looked more like a cheese pizza, I got a Capriciosa (ham, mushrooms, artichoke) which was made with canned mushrooms. I've since had a second pizza in Italy which also used canned mushrooms, so maybe that is all proper and good. My pizza was gritty in texture and the bottom crust weak, and it tasted average. Service was fine. It took us a little too long to get our server's attention to get the bill, but that was likely just a lack of experience on our part. Nice place, outdoor seating, but a nearby smoker spoiled what was a good spot. Again, adjusting to the way things are in Italy. I'm giving a generous 4 star rating to account for our lack of a baseline on what to expect. read more

Waiters ignored us we just wanted a cup of coffee as a pick me up after a busy day and of course use the bathroom. Iced coffee was 7 Ēuros each. Saw a waiter sneeze and pick his nose while cleaning up after a family yuck! Did not feel welcome. Clean bathrooms though. read more

Our group of 3 couples were looking for more than pizza, but less than a high end dinner. This place was the perfect find. We settled on a variety of appetizers and pasta dishes. We all enjoyed the great service and outstanding meals. The waiter, Fabio made sure he and the rest of the wait staff were on point and he was chatty and offered great recommendations. read more

I come here for the first time in Venesia I sit down to eat because the food menu was great, however management in this place sucks I don't know the guy's name but he walks around staring at you as if you're not gonna pay your bill! you can have the greatest meal the greatest servers the greatest experience, but one douche bag can makes you very uncomfortable while you eat as he is staring at you wondering if you're going to skip on the check or not! I do not recommend this place to no one do not come here there's many other great places in Venetia to eat this is not one of them read more

An excellent choice for diners near San Marco Sq. The fish was very good - very large portions with a generous helping of vegetables. Salad was massive. Our waiter was friendly and fabulous. Deduct 1* for high prices and 10% service charge. Avoid pizza unless your kids require it. read more

On our first full day in Venice, Gayle, Erin, Jim, and I had just came back from Murano Island and were ready for Lunch. We decided to wander a bit inland to avoid the St. Marks Square crowd. At some point, we encountered Da Roberto and not knowing "right from wrong" dining choice-wise, we took a seat at an outdoor table. This Tavern is situated on Riva degli Schiavoni and serves a fairly tasty pizza. We also enjoyed chatting and relaxing with our favourite adult beverage and watching the Venice world go by. Service was friendly, attentive, and relatively quick. read more

Pretty comprehensive menu for the pastas and the pizzas, but I would suggest sticking with the pastas. The pizzas were mediocre in my opinion but my spaghetti carbonara was on point, I very much enjoyed it. It's a decent spot for al fresco dining in Venice that doesn't have too much foot traffic. Service was friendly. read more

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our meal here on a recent trip to Venice. We wanted something a little off the beaten path but not too far from our hotel near St. Mark's Square. This did the trick. Unlike some of the other establishments in Europe, service here was surprisingly speedy and attentive (and our waiter looked like he was straight out of the Jet Set), and the prices weren't too bad. We each enjoyed a glass of Prosseco (when in Venice...) and split a cheese pizza and a serving of lasagna. I agree with the previous poster that the pasta trumps the pizza. The lasagna was simply excellent. As a side note, the restroom was incredibly clean. Always a plus. read more

Generally mediocre but pleasant nonetheless, my namesake's trattoria is pricey for the portions but has a nice atmosphere. Next to a small canal, the outdoor patio is quaint and comfortable. Service was pretty good if a bit slow; that said, we did have to ask for oil and the bread was sparse. Each dish we ordered was rather standard, with little imagination and on the small side (pesto penne was simply that; some meat would have been a nice addition). For the price, there are better offerings, but it's hard to beat the location and charm. read more

I would give it 2.5 stars. Good service but the food was just ok. If you order the oysters (only 5 for 20 euros), note that they don't provide them like the US. (No cocktail sauce, vinegar or horse radish. The waitress claimed that they were delicious (but I think she upsold me). I had the fettuccini with seafood, once again, it was just ok. Nothing special, keep walking if you have time. read more

We had their Diavalo and Caprese pizzas and ended the meal with Tiramisu. The experience was delicious and would say the best Tiramisu experience with a hot cup of coffee on an otherwise cool Christmas Day. Thank you making it a delicious and pleasant experience. read more

This is a fine (and romantic) restaurant with beautiful linens and an extensive wine list. It serves grilled fish entreés as well as what I found was an excellent pizza. The prices are reasonable considering the location (close by St. Mark's), the service (couldn't be better) and how well appointed the tables are (only freshly ground pepper will do). There is no house wine, so we enjoyed a very acceptable Rosso in a perfect 375 ml size. (Duca Del Frassino Valpolicella, 13.50 euros) Now, what did I find so exceptional? Fish soup... priced at an eye-widening 23 euros. I expected a huge tureen, and got instead a reasonably sized bowl. Then I tasted - WOW! Very little salt, and so flavorful with a restrained herb seasoning. It had a single shelled shrimp, an entire unshelled prawn, what tasted like a big chunk of crab, and then some very mild, light, almost puffy (maybe breaded) white fish (similar to Japanese fish cake). Normally I hate unshelled anything in soups as I think shells give an unpleasant taste, but this prawn must have been fresh. I've had fish soups and stews in Hawaii, Seattle, San Francisco, throughout Mexico, New Orleans, Florida, Boston, and a few places in Europe, but this was the best I've ever had. Now I know you're rolling your eyes at that overused expression (BIEH), and I hate to use it, but this soup was just so awesome. My poor husband was underwhelmed by his grilled sea bass. In fact, he wasn't sure it was really sea bass, but it was acceptable, and properly cooked, so he ate it without further complaint. It's been my experience that many restaurants substitute when they run out of a particular fish. It's just easier than suggesting another choice. 95% of their patrons probably wouldn't know the difference. There's no way to know, and it's even possible that there are taste variations in sea bass from different world regions. What we should have done is ask our waiter if he could recommend the sea bass. This is the kind of place you could do that. read more

We stumbled here because we were staying at the savoia hotel near by. This was one of our best meals in Italy. Yes it's expensive, however you pay for what you get. The grilled sea bass was very fresh best I've ever had.. followed by excellent scallop (in the actual shell) And scampi! If you like seafood this place really lives up to the Venetian name of good seafood. Vitelli our server was excellent and gave us great advice on things to order. My husband had pizza and it was also superb. I can't understand the negativity toward this restaurant. FYI We are from LA and very will well traveled and know what good food tastes like. read more

I would definitely recommend going elsewhere! the service is awful, truly. all employees were on their phones constantly, it took over an hour to sit, receive 2 drinks (1 each) and receive the check (which we got 30 minutes after finishing our drinks) and then finally getting the check, it was wrong! which then it took another 10 minutes to get the correct bill- might i add there were maybe 3 other tables. The food the others around us did receive looked like it came from the freezer. read more

On the way through Venice my fiance and her sister and I had spotted this joint and I took the namesake as an omen that we should entertain the notion of noshing here. We had two days in Venice and passed by it on the first day after cavorting around the side streets and canals (It is off one of beaten path to get to the sites of Venice (San Marco Piazza, Rialto, et cetera). We dined here on the way back in the evening on day 1. We were really wanting to dine at a joint just West on the other side of adjacent canal bridge called "Trattoria alla Rivetta" that is tucked against the bridge and canal. The wait there was too long by time we decided to eat (and after reading reviews it did not seem to fare much better than Trattoria Da Roberto). Of course this review is subjective to our experience: We were hustled fairly aggressively by the waitstaff when we were just wanting to review the menu and see if it tickled our fancy. This is typical of many joints no matter what country you are in, especially in tourist areas - even in San Diego, CA where we hail from. We asked for a moment and the waiter seemed pretty peeved. I was not hungry and only wanted a Spritz Campari. My fiance and her sister were starving so we sat down. We were presented our menus, no drink menu. We had to ask for the wine & aperitif menu and they seemed further annoyed. My fiance had seen someone with shrimp and pasta - and after reviewing both the Italian and English menu had thought the shrimp scampi was this dish - it was not. 30 Euro later on that dish and she is presented three mediocre sized prawns split in half, cooked in the traditional scampi sauce. No pasta. It was not so much of the fact that what was brought out but that they could charge 30 Euro for three prawns. Either way we were not excited. The clam and pasta dish that was ordered by my fiance's sister was enjoyed more thoroughly. A waiter came by and asked if we wanted a digestif or any dessert - we were full and turned off and very politely declined. I turned to speak to my fiance and heard a loud "bang" on the table to my right. It sounded like the waiter had slammed his fist into the table but I will give him the benefit of the doubt that he had stacked the three menus in a rather rude and aggressive way in his hands against our table. Regardless of his action it was extremely rude. Spend time looking elsewhere. Honestly there were a lot of personal and charming places way out to the East on Via Guiseppe Garibaldi that I wish we would have tried... Take a walk, its one of the most open streets in Venice on the East side near the large park green that you dead end at when you walk along the South side of the main islets. We asked for the bill, and paid and left. I took my wine glass that the Spritz Campari came in due to my annoyance and feeling extremely slighted with both food and service. This was also one of the first places I experienced a "covered seating" charge - chalk that up to experience. Its laughable however when you sit inside our outside they charge this. A very Ryan-air esque way of tacking on things to the bill - especially when the place was not packed with patrons. read more

Only had a glass of wine, but the wait staff was courteous and friendly. The house chianti was decent. There's not much of an atmosphere to the restaurant, but it was a good place to grab a quick drink at St. Mark's plaza. read more

From its landmark canals to its rich history, Venice has something for everyone. After enjoying a day of sightseeing, shopping, and a ride on a gondola, Da Roberto was the perfect place to sit back, relax, and enjoy a delicious Italian dinner. The pasta was cooked al dente and the sauce tasted as if it had simmered all afternoon. It is evident that Da Roberto strives to provide the perfection combination of comfort Italian food with a little Venezian flair mixed in! read more

The Ryanair of dining, hidden charges, quick turn service and poor quality food. Not recommended.

Our dinner was much less than expected this evening. The place looks nice with waiters in Clean white coats. However, looks can be deceiving. The food was tasteless especially the pork chop. The vegetable soup was cabbage soup without vegetables. The spaghetti fruiti de mar was cheaply done without quality seafood as the clams and miniature shrimp came from a can. Servers hovered over us making it uncomfortable as they watched us eat. I was not only disappointed but paying the high service and cover charges made it a sad event. read more

It was our first night in Italy and we walked around Venice looking for a "restaurant" that would stand out from the rest. This place didn't exactly do that since there were hundreds of Trattoria Pizzerias there but we chose it because after an hour of walking we were just hungry and ready to eat! It was also in a busy corner which allowed us to people watch as we sat outside. We sat down and asked for water - natural for me and mineral for my husband. I also ordered a glass of wine and my husband ordered a beer. They served us bread and refilled it when it was empty. My husband had a seafood pasta and I had their Margherita pizza. Both were good but not mind blowing; I think I was expecting a "made by an Italian grandma" tasting experience. The bill came out and we were charged for the water, a sitting fee, and 12% for service. No wonder they say you "don't need to tip" in Italy - it's already included in the bill! read more

Delicious meal! I ordered the calzone and Prosecco and it was absolutely delicious! A must have restaurant in Venice!

Cold, terrible food. Part of my "mixed grill" was quite literally a hot dog sliced longways. I've never left a bad review, but this has been truly awful. read more

DO NOT GO HERE!! Very expensive and poor service, we had stopped by earlier in the day to look at the menu and the fresh fish that was on display. The manager or whoever was in charge gave us a business card inviting us back for dinner with a 10% discount. At the end of our dinner (which was over $200.00 for 4 people) the waiter refused to accept our discount card, basically saying it was no good even though the manager who gave it to us was there! They prey on tourists and try to up sell you along with charging a "service fee" just for dining at their establishment. THERE ARE MUCH BETTER RESTAURANTS in Venice than this one. read more

Found this place while looking for a quiet place. Food was decent; wine menu was very limited. We had to go with whatever they had on the glass. Waiters started to walk around when we were close to finish our plates. On one occasion, my wife was asked 5 times if she had finished. Finally one of the waiters took her plate without asking. Don't get me wrong; we didn't stay very long, all this happened in a few minutes. They were obviously pushing us out. read more

Stopped here the second night of our honeymoon. Great outdoor ambience near a foot bridge. Good food!

Amazing loved there food here recommend the chicken pizza and lasagne yummy along with a wine and re customer service was great !!!!!

Miserable and rude service. Don't waste your time. You're better off eating dead pigeon out of a week old dumpster. Complete waste of money.

Definitely a tourist trap. The food is only okay and the service is poor. The pizza was much better than the pasta however

While wandering the back streets behind Piazza San Marco and the Grand Canal stumbled on this quiet little corner trattoria . Quiet, relaxing and moderately priced we thoroughly enjoyed the pizza al fungi , the pasta with seafood and the waiter. Solid food ; limited but adequate wine list . Went the next night across the street to Ninos and wished we hadn't ! read more

Tourist rip off! Lobster spaghetti was just pasta in tomato sauce with a lobster on the side - a total mess to eat since the lobster came in its shell. Be aware that you will also get charged a cover charge and a service charge, which the waiter will refuse to remove. Avoid! read more
