    Spaghetti carbonara
    Curt T.

    The calamari and shrimp were absolutely delicious. Got a good amount. Perfectly crispy without being greasy or oily. The carbonara also had good flavor and loved the bacon and that it wasn't overloaded with it. Simple but delicious. Service was great Ambience was 2 outdoor benches and a table to stand at in a courtyard like alley. Good food at decent prices. Worth trying out.

    Fried shrimp and calamari - more shrimp than calamari
    Arnold T.

    You can easily miss this place because it's on an alley and it's a door with Christmas lights. There are 2 benches and 1 table for eating. No inside seating or bathroom. I enjoyed the fried calamari and shrimp. Nicely fried. Note that it's the whole shrimp - head, eyes, tail, shell and legs! You don't need to peel off the shell since it's fried well. No tartar sauce. We ate at nicer restaurants and this place has the better calamari . The carbonna is ok. I'm still searching where I can find the best carbonara.

    Fried Anchovies and Tortellini with pancetta.

    Great spot. Perfect for a quick afternoon snack in Venice. The fried Anchovies where delicious.

    Mixed fried seafood heaven

    A perfect paper cone full of fried heaven. Calamari, shrimp, and anchovies. I'd never had fried anchovies before , but I loved them. Perfect street food, perfectly executed.

    Cold beers and soft drinks too!

    Simple, cheap street food. Don't expect world class ambiance or service. It's basically a hole in the wall but the food is some of the best we've had not only in Venice but anywhere. I would highly recommend the mixed seafood. For 8£ you get a giant paper cone of salty fried sardines, squid and shrimp. My wife got one of their many offerings of pasta which came in a convenient little Chinese takeout kind of container so if you can't finish everything or are in a rush, you can just take your food to go. Really the only thing I could hold against this place is the seating sucks, there isn't much of it and the little seating they have is limited to a single table and a couple of benches in the alley. That said, that's probably not going to stop you from coming if, like me, you enjoy quick and delicious seafood and pasta. Definitely worth the visit!

    Menu, partial.

    Best pasta sauce in all of Italy (northern, anyway). Darling hole in the wall takeaway, generous portions. The Fried refers to all the seafood. Freshly made pasta in house.

    you can walk right past it. it's right by ristorante pizzeria. it's just a small little place hole in the wall and can walk right past it so go very slow

    Mixed seafood
    Amy Z.

    This was a great to go food option in Venice! The fried seafood is definitely worth it! The crispy light batter makes for a satisfying snack or light meal.

    Mixed seafood deep fried , black octopus inked pasta and pesto pasta

    It's walk up to hole in the wall the food was delicious great taste the black pasta was great must try and the pesto was aromatic and so good

    La Colonna - Spaghetti with ink and cattle fish. Just OK

    We were in Venezia for vacation recently and tried to dine out of the main San Marco tourist area…read moreas much as possible to try to get the most unique Venice experience and La Colonna was an amazing find! For dinner in peak season, try to make a reservation as the restaurant is very small. We arrived before our reservation time and were seated immediately inside and greeted warmly by the restaurant owner. We ordered a bottle of wine to start (most under 20 Euros for a 75 ML bottle). For appetizers we ordered the cheese with honey for 13 Euros, absolutely amazing! We also combined this with the local olive oil and fresh bread brought to the table to start as well. For our second course we chose two pastas, the Penne Alla Amatriciana (I think it was around 12 Euros), and the Spaghetti Alla Carbonara (I think it was around 12 Euros as well). Both had extremely fresh homemade ingredients and were out of this world and extreme attention to care in the preparation. For our entree we split the breaded pork chop (I think it was around 20 Euros), including a side of potatoes (similar to the steak fries that you would see in the U.S.) The service was absolutely amazing and we loved dining alongside the owner and his family and meeting the cat that also lives at the restaurant and comes by to greet you during the meal as well. It truly was like you were dining at the home of the owner and is a must try if you are in Venice!

    Amazing food!!! The lasagne and bolognese pasta were superb and the panna cotta was sublime.read more

    Al Timon was the culinary highlight of my visit to Venice. We went for Sunday lunch-- restaurant…read morewas quite busy; there were a few tables inside. Servers were welcoming and answered questions my friend and I had about the menu. The steak platter was AMAZING. 10/10. Truly such a memorable meal. I loved the chips and tzatziki-like sauce that were served alongside the meat. The complimentary limoncello at the end of our meal topped off our incredible experience. Would travel all the way back just for this gem of a spot. Thank you!

    HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Definitely get the Lombatello steak if you are feeling carnivorous…read more Throngs of lively people sipping wine and snacking on cichetti late into the evening along the canal. The cichetti selection looked very good (variety thinned out throughout the night), but our party of 3 was starving and we opted to sit inside for a late ~8:30pm dinner. We got one order of grilled lamb and the Lombatello steak for 2. The lamb was also good, no gamey taste. The Lombatello steak was simply fantastic, choose this cut specifically!! A heaping pile of medium-rare meat (cannot buy single portions) that was very tender and flavorful. It's cushioned with steak fries and grilled veggies on the side. Paired with two glasses of house wine, this meal was fantastic. Ended up with a to go box of steak and fries. Servers are very busy, bustling around clearing tables, taking orders, etc, but they are vigilant if you need anything. We saw one table of ~10 order a steak platter, and it was a sight to behold - a massive wooden cutting board packed with steak, transported by two waiters.
