    Wine white, not bad

    The terrace is very nice. Good service. 75 euro for 2 with bottle of wine. The food.. average.. we had better in NYC. Will try more in the next 3 days.

    Very good food. Service was nice. The resident kitty is super cute with his own spot on one of the tables. The food was a good 3.5-4 star. It's good and the ambiance and location make it good for when you are lost adventuring around Venice. The gnocchi with salmon was done perfectly and the pasta with tomato sauce was good if you like a simple Italian tomato sauce.

    We went here on Christmas night and they were open. This is definitely a hidden gem. I'm glad that we got lost and came across this restaurant. It's a very friendly welcoming restaurant. My boyfriend and I went in and grabbed a table. The gentleman serving us was great ! He was fast and very attentive. We started with some carpaccio, bread, and a bottle of wine. This restaurant is very well priced and the portion sizes are pretty big. I ordered the breaded pork chop and my boyfriend ordered a pasta dish. All the wood was excellent. It was all cooked perfectly. It had a very cozy home atmosphere and it seemed to be more of a locals dinner spot. They certainly want you to feel relaxed and not rushed because it did take us awhile to get our check. Great overall experience

    Our friend recommended La Colonna for us to eat at when visiting Venice. It's a cute restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating in a quiet and charming neighborhood. We were seated right away outdoors where there is more fresh air, in the summer it's nice to be outside. The menu had much to offer and also had explanations in multiple languages, so you know what you're ordering. We ordered the grilled scallops to start. I had spaghetti alla Vongole (pasta with clams), and it was all very delicious! My husband ordered a seafood linguine and it was also tasty, it had mussels, clams, shrimp, calamari, and little octopuses. Before the meal, they also gave bruschetta and bread. All the food was very tasty and the service was wonderful. We were very comfortable and enjoyed dinner in Venice. I'd recommend La Colonna to anyone visiting Venice!

    Dinner here was delightful! The surrounding building make you feel like you've stepped back in time! It's such a charming little restaurant with a beautiful outdoor eating area.

    Because of the notorious reputation Venice has in regards to tourist traps, I was keen on finding great restaurants at a relatively affordable (non-touristy) price. This place fit the bill. This restaurant was super cozy and small so for my party of 3 on a Thursday night around 7:30, we waited about 20 minutes. Our server was so fantAstic as he seemed to be the only waiter working that day. Now onto the food: Salmon Gnocchi (5/5): I loved this dish. It had a strong salmon flavor and pillowly soft gnocchi with it Fried assortment of seafood (5/5): this was AMAZING. It was a huge pile of fried seafood and they gave such a wide variety too. Seafood pasta (3/5): plenty of seafood but definitely wasn't fresh or homemade pasta (maybe I just had expectations as this was the last leg of my week long trip in Italy) I also ordered a Bellini for 4 euros which was delicious. Overall I loved this meal in Venice! Great food, atmosphere, service and affordable too as it was 70 euros for 3 people as compared to a meal we had the night before for 120 euros!

    This place was in the neighborhood that was staying in and I wanted to check it out after a few days of feasting in the heart of town. Overall this is way way overrated here, no way it should have a 5 star rate here To start in the middle of the busiest summer they had one server assigned for the whole place. He was nice but for from attentive. Food was just ok and with great ingredients but far from anything special. I had the anchovies to start and it was bland . Black squid ink pasta is a common here and there's was pale had not sufficient ink for dee flavor. Lastly spaghetti and the tiniest clams I have ever seen despite the pasta being tasty. Everything was well priced fortunately but you can do much better here

    Traditional Venetian. Sardines with pickled onion. Not fishy and not too salty. Perfect starter.

    After three days of searching for fresh cooked pasta and nice local Italian service, we found this joint by mistake. Four of us ate dinner. We returned 2 nights later because it was very good food, prepared perfectly, at a great value. The squid spaghetti is prepared with large pieces of tender squid and the perfect amount of "ink". In Venice it is generally a good sign if the waiters are not out front trying to drag you off the sidewalk. Here they don't have to do so. It opens at 6:30 which is a perfect early seating time for Americans. The three course meal options are about $24 USD and a great value if you are unfamiliar with the multi-course Italian style. Go eat there.

    Bread, breadsticks and complimentary bruschetta.

    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.
