We loved La Lista! We were looking for a cute brunch spot and this was the place! They offer yummy pancakes, omelettes, and much more! Our servers were kind and spoke some english which made it easier to communicate! Additionally they offered to split our checks which was very kind! read more

La Lista Bistro - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Venezia, VE

Atmosphere was charming. Service was great. The servers helped us with choosing just the right combo of pizza and beer. Amazed how busy they were at 11:00pm and turning away customers at midnight so they could close. read more

The restaurant was recommended by our hotel staff as "the best pizza in Venice." We were fresh off the plane and fully jet lagged, so that may have contributed to our experience. But while the pizza has really good flavor with the San Marzano based sauce's and fresh mozzarella cheese, the crust was very thin, and the sauce was very wet/loose. We ate it all, but it was impossible to hold the pizza in our hands. My wife says that Italians always eat their pizza with a knife and fork, but this was a little too wet. read more

Pizza is amazing the options for multiple crusts is great the beer is great also I had the Messina made with Sicilian lemons

Best service, best ambiance, best food. We stayed in Venice 3 days and we came here 4 times.

On a hunt for a burger and fries to satisfy the taste of home, we found this place a few shops down from our hotel. The menu looked like it had a few good options so we sat at a table for two outside. A few minutes later around 7, the restaurant was filled up. My fiancé enjoyed the local lager he ordered: fruity and light. He got a burger and only ate half which is rare. That means it's a jam packed burger if he can't finish it. The fries were delicious. They way they were cut and cooked were just right. This is a great place to come for some familiar American tastes. read more

Excellent service and nice atmosphere. Sit outside and watch the people of cannaregio. The food is great. Get the pasta and add a few euros to get the egg pasta and handmade. Worth every penny it's the best pasta I've ever had. read more

Muy buen servicio, la gente amable, el lugar sencillo y bonito. La comida... buena. La carne si estaba deliciosa y el postre muy sabroso. Buena experiencia read more

Not an awful place, but definitely for the tourists only. Maybe 80% of the customers were American, but granted it is supoosed to be an American style brunch place...? I didn't hate what I got; I've just had better. FYI, it's also pay at the counter! read more

La Lista Bistro - french toast w/ bacon and scrambled eggs - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Venezia, VE

American style brunch. Not the best food and it was filled with tourists. However I came here knowing what to expect. In general everything was kind of bland and needed more salt. Don't come with high expectations, an ok brunch, but that's about it. Fast and friendly service though! read more

Food was average brunch food but nothing too fancy or surprising. There wasn't a wait to get a table, and we waited 25 mins for our food. Waitress was nice and helped answer our questions. The place was filled with tourists like us, and the indoor decorations were nice. Despite having many customers from an outside view, the food was pretty average--I wouldn't come back for it since I could order it at any brunch cafe. Wasn't too fancy or special. The pancakes were interesting--a little dense in my opinion compared to the usual fluffiness I expect in other pancakes. They tasted okay though. The eggs were fine. The bread was just bread--not toasted or served with butter or anything. I ate it with the eggs but it still was pretty dry to eat on its own. We also got an espresso, coffee, and freshly squeezed orange juice. They were ok--the OJ did taste pretty freshly squeezed without additional concentrate or sugar. Overall, the meal was average, and the wait time was a little longer than I expected. Wouldn't come back again but the service was good. read more

The food was overpriced and no flavor. Waiter recommendations included upcharges. Service was not very attentive. Ambiance was interesting.

We were actually looking to eat some where else but couldn't find it so stopped and looked at the menu for this place and said why not. The service here was excellent. We ordered a pizza for the kids and they cut it in half and had it on different plates for them. I had the pasta with tuna and eggplant. When it came out I got worried because it didn't appear like what I had envisioned but man it was good, I was pleasantly surprised. The prices I think were good, this was our first place we ate here so not sure if it was cheap for the area but coming from Rome the prices here were very fair and reasonable. read more

Very friendly workers. The large beer is very large 1 liter. The pepper poppers and the pasta carbonara were both excellent.

I felt somewhat scammed coming into this place, suspecting it was because we're Americans. I wanted a certain pasta but was strongly suggested by the server that I order a more expensive one that didn't end up being good. Also, we received a 2nd appetizer that we didn't order. I had asked him what it was and said that we didn't order it, and he explained what it was but ignored the "we didn't order it" part. My mom liked it anyway, thinking perhaps it came as part of her meal, which would give him the benefit of the doubt, so ended up eating it. However, it still showed up on our bill anyway. By principle, I don't think we should've been responsible for something we didn't order. There are so many other restaurants in Venice. Don't bother coming here if you don't speak Italian and want to be taking advantage of as foreigners. read more

We stopped by here on our trip to Venice because our hotel was near and it was too late to walk anywhere else. We ordered 1 pizza and a beer and it was honestly the best pizza on the island. We came back for seconds the next day and there was an issue with with us ordering the same thing... they informed us that each person had to order their own pizza and beer in order to eat at the restaurant. One pizza was sufficient for us considering we had been munching all day and it was now 10pm... (also let me add that we waited 30 min to get a table which was no issue since we had just walked 45 minutes to eat here) after a discussion, the manager explained everything to us and let us stay. The pizza was amazing again, just keep this in mind as the experience of almost being kicked out ruined my husbands meal (he was a bit embarrassed and just wanted to leave.) Quality was great though, unfortunate that we had to go through that little discussion. The manager however was kind enough to explain why this rule was in place and tried to make up for the confusion. I would still chose this pizza over all the other tourist places in town. Most authentic, just make sure you come hungry! read more

If you see other local/Italian's, it's def a place worth visiting. I for one, fell in love with this bistro. It's a little away from the touristy areas, but still on a "main road," on the way down to the Rialto bridge. We had the Margherita Pizza & their special (gnocchi w/ shrimp & zucchini). I kind of expected something different in terms of the margherita pizza (like globs of mozzerella and basil leaves, how I was told they do it), but it was decent all the same. My gnocchi on the other hand was phenomenal. It was the special of the day, soft and pillowy gnocchi paired with halved tomatoes and sauteed with (small) shrimp (I'm guessing shrimp ain't pumped up on hormones like they are in the States) and thinly sliced zucchini. We even saw two other Italiano's ordering the same after we had finished our food. Def worth a stop. *Sitting fee to be expected *Clean toilette available read more

Had breakfast and lunch here. Both were good Enjoyed my soya cappuccino and omelette Later had salmon burger with fries Overall solid food good prices and good service A good location too Lots is shops nearby read more

Honestly the worst food ever I think dining hall food is better than this. So flavorless and gross. Don't come here. The French toast isn't even French toast. The avocado was definitely not from avocados. read more

Stopped here for a late dinner (22:00) as recommended by our hotel receptionist. Nothing to blow your mind, but a good and easy offering for our first night in Venice. We had the Baffin D'orro and La Bianca beers, both were good, but the Bianca stood out a little more. We ordered the diavola pizza (very low on heat, billed as spicy) and the sausage and broccoli pizza (can't remember the name). The pizza was a good size for 2 people to split, nice blistering on the crust. THE CRUST: like I said, the pizza here is perfectly fine, but the crust is beyond amazing. Go for the crust. read more

This was the worst place to eat at. The service was terrible. waitress didn't ask if we wanted water nor did she give us bread, like she did every one else. People that came in after us ate and left. Finally are food came out and we took it to go and gave it to the homeless man. We are American females and this was horrible. THE cashier was a sweetheart Aeros. read more

More than a half dozen beers on tap. Good bar food and a full menu. American friendly. The tap side is narrow for sitting, but there is inside and outside tables. read more

Great food and great prices. The Milanese was very good . Gnocchi was delicious and the pizza was wonderful.

Great service and delicious food! Our waiter spoke English, Portuguese, Spanish and French. And was a really attentive server. Our food came out very quickly - we ordered 6 pizzas. We devoured it all with a couple of yummy drinks. All in all a great place to eat in Venice! read more

La Lista Bistro redid their restaurant in 2016, and it truly shows. Previous reviews (from before 2016) are rather negative, and I try want to leave an excellent review for this establishment. The 3 pizzas our table got were very, very good and I highly recommend this restaurant. If you are looking at going, do not get turned off by the early, negative Yelp reviews because they were reviewing a completely different restaurant/kitchen. To conclude, I highly recommend La Lista Bistro. read more

This place apparently underwent a rework of their menu and restaurant within the past year or so. I don't know what it was like before, but it came highly recommended during our trip this July. We almost let it go because of the Yelp reviews and I'm glad we didn't. This was our favorite place to eat in Venice, and probably overall throughout our tour of Italy. We ate here several times and each time was better than the last. It was close to our hotel and a nice break from pasta, fish, and red sauces. They have a very friendly staff, comfortable atmosphere, and everything we tried was delicious!! It's an especially great place if you want a really, really scrumptious burger. Excellent pizza too. Their appetizer burger is great for a meal on its own, especially for lunch. Their French fries rock. read more

AmaIng place to get local brunch my friends and I had a great experience dining here plus they played hip hop music while we were there

Wifey and I had breakfast here before our journey continued to the west. It wasn't great but by all means not bad. Nice street setting. 2 euro for a place setting seemed a little odd but hey ...... My wife's omelet wasn't cooked awesomely .. but it sufficed. The Cappuccino was really good and my croissant was good. Waiter was nice and engaging. Looks like their pizzas might be pretty good . read more

This place was full of Italian kids when we were there, and then larger groups of older folks came in after that. Me and my spouse were there very late though (we learned we might eat like Italians - much later in the evening than your typical 6-7 dinner in the US). I'm not sure it's fair to call this a tourist trap - I think that term is unfairly abused when places aren't "out of the way" and hard to get to - or are packed with American tourists because they all eat earlier in the evening - this is down the street from the train station and perfectly good. We were there a few times, because it was convenient and the food was actually quite good. After an exhausting day of touring, it's nice to "know" a good place when you just need food. Yes, I had a cheeseburger. In my defense, I'd been very adventurous all vacation and just wanted a burger. The fries are actually potato wedges. It was all so good. The cheese on the burger was delicious. In our times going here, we also had a very fresh and delicious caprese salad that was actually served in a bowl of lettuces. We also had a D.O.P. pizza that was excellent, and a pasta with fresh burrata. That meal was dynamite. The service was FINE. These are nice people who are probably crazy busy and deal with large crowds regularly. They recognized us, and acknowledged that they did, when we came back and for some reason that surprised and delighted me. Maybe because it was late in a long trip and we were tired. I didn't expect anyone to fall all over themselves just because I'm American or a customer or whatever reason people get annoyed with servers. They accommodated every request and were truly patient and even kind when the rest of my family decided to filter in and join us. 10 people total. I appreciate how welcome and comfortable they made us feel. My whole family continued to eat there periodically during our stay because it was fast, reasonably priced, they'd been decent to us all, and the food was good quality. I love that you aren't rushed out of a restaurant in Italy. You ask for the check. You are left alone to enjoy your food and drink and company. read more

Wife and I (Americans)on our honeymoon after watching Spain vs Chile, went to order pizza and appetizer. The manager refused to serve us for no apparent reason. I only can believe this manager on June 18th hates Americans. What's the lowest score I can give? read more

Good breakfast food. Nothing too mind blowing. Very normal but good. We had the English breakfast(eggs, bacon, bean tomato sauce,and toast) and the omelette vegetariana (An egg omelet with veggies and toast). Both dishes were warm and good. The Croissants were fresh and still warm to our liking. My father and I are very pleased with our food here and would recommend it to others who are looking for a yummy bite. read more

I didn't experience bad service as other reviewers have, and I'm an American as well. Some of the comments left don't seem quite appropriate. First, service in Italian restaurants is generally slower. Not because it's bad, but because they actually enjoy the experience of eating food, and they are not expected to just turn tables. In many restaurants, if you make a reservation, the table is yours all night. No one will rush you out. As to the uncut pizza and raw sausage, that is how most places in Italy serve it, so either explain to the waiter exactly what you want in Italian, or don't complain. OK, now the actual review. Food is mediocre at best. Typical tourist trap on the main drag of any town. So if you expect excellence, keep walking. read more

was in Venice only for a few days and wanted to experience some really good Italian food and I made the mistake to sit down in this awful place. The service was horrible and so was the food. Their staff was extremely rood so I decided not to leave any tip. To my surprise there was a service charge included in my bill and when I told the manager I didn't want to pay it due to the bad service they told me they couldn't remove it. PLEASE DO YOUR SELF A FAVOR and eat any place but here!!! read more

Pretty basic. French toast is not what I expected, like toast that I forgot about and tried to eat it cold... and they put way too much syrup on EVERYTHING. Even the fruits had syrup and powdered sugar on it. If you're looking for an Italian breakfast experience don't go here. The waiters were nice though. read more

The food was amazing and the customer service was very good. The waiter was awesome - shoutout to Jewels!

You might be feeling tired, hungry and tempted to sit at this place, do yourself a favor: keep walking do not eat here. This place promotes authentic Italian food, but instead serves overpriced garbage with terrible service. read more
