I ate at Frary's many days ago, but waited to post this as I've mulled on and processed my…read moreexperiences in Venice and here. Precisely, I had 2 meals at Frary's, because after the first one all I could do the next day running around Venetian alleys was gush about it to my gf. Over those 2 meals, we had the tzatziki - a bowlful of yogurt-spice delight that we scraped the last of with the excellent bread they serve, the hummus - another dollop of chickpea deliciousness, the dolma - which was served with delicious somewhat sweet carrot dip (muhammara I think) one day, but equally good curried babaghanoush the next day. For the mains, the rice-yogurt dish (whose name I've sadly forgotten) was served with steaming carrots and other vegetables and an utter delight, so we got it both days. The falafel was crunchy, fresh, green, brown, irresistible, hot, steaming, crumbly, did I say irresistible? Frary's the kind of place you can't practice restraint and just want to get seconds of everything and stuff yourself. The manouri dessert is interesting, served with a light cheese and large pieces of apricot (I think it was apricot). Lastly, my favorite spritzer ever was served here, some kinda ginger apertif. It was reminiscent of the routine aperol, but something was better about it - perfectly bitter and again just simply irresistible (and non alcholic too). So when I come back to Venice, whenever that be (but it'll have to happen, does anyone manage to go to Venice just once?), good chance I'll make a straight beeline to Frary's, and not the classic italian trattorie and ristorantes. La Dolce Vita!

Payment is conveniently handled at the front when you are finished. One of the standout features of this establishment is that they are certified gluten-free by the AIC, making it a reliable destination for those with celiac disease. Their menu clearly marks numerous gluten-free options, and the staff is attentive, promptly providing safe accompaniments like rice cakes once a celiac diagnosis is mentioned instead of the pita. For the meal, we started with the mix di formaggi, a delightful selection of Greek cheeses. The main course was the mansaf vegetariano, featuring spiced rice paired with vegetables and yogurt. For dessert, we shared three options: the berry cheesecake, which was easily the star of the menu and a must-try; the rich chocolate cake; and the pistachio yogurt, which was unique though worth noting that it leaned a bit too heavily into a savory, spicy profile rather than a sweet one. Overall, it is a wonderful and safe choice for anyone looking for reliable gluten-free Mediterranean dining.

While the food wasn't bad, it didn't make good on the promise of a different kind of cuisine in Venice. The food was tasty enough, but the eggplant and pasta were both just solid versions of dishes readily available throughout the city. The eggplant was touted as a signature dish, but was merely an echo of others throughout the area. Aside from the hint of tahini it would be indistinguishable. Similarly, the tagliatelle pasta with salmon did little to make itself memorable. I believe that these dishes reflect the Kosher dining experience, but our high hopes were nonetheless dashed by their mediocrity. Gam Gam is not a breath of fresh air, although maybe we would have been happier had we thought of it as just another restaurant. After all, tomato sauce makes almost anything delicious.

Carpaccio for antipasto was very good,but we got a salad that we ordered for the maincourse. So to the maincourses. One mixed grill that was good,kingprawns were good. I ordered a medium pepper steak that was well done. My friend ordered fish and the waitor prepared it for her,when she got it served it was hardly any fish left,maybe 50 gram and they wanted 16 euro for that and it really didnt look that appetizing when served.She asked the waitors,but then he suddenly didnt understand english anymore.He just said: wait a moment. We started eating thinking the waitor would fix it. I should of complained about my meat being well done,but it was still tender so i started eating it.After 10 minutes still nothing about the fish so we asked again. Then the waitor started to discuss that we were the only ones complaining about the size of the fish,the french fries that we ordered had not yet showed up. I took a pic of the fish so you can make up your own mind. Even if the food were execellent it really didnt matter if the service is bad it can ruin the whole meal. She asked too return the food,because she did want to eat it. They then started to argue that we needed to pay for it. Both my friends are chefs so they know what a normal plate of fish should look like.we had also eaten fish in several restaurants so we knew what other places were serving. It ended up in a big discussion,we had to pay 90 euros and the waitor was very rude when we were on our way out. People outside waiting to get in,turned around and left.They should have been more professional about it and the problem would have been solved. So go here and eat what they serve and be ok,but dont complain about anything or you will get one of the shittiest food experiences that Lido di Jesolo has to offer!!

The article describes the restaurant in glowing terms as "the best meal I have in Trieste." The author raved about the fritto misto. We ate here recently and were disappointed.

I had octopus that was just ok, pretty chewy, although the one really interesting part was the tomato ice cream accompaniment. We both had fritto misto and both felt it was mediocre.
