This is real and authentic Italian food and hospitality at its best. We came ona wednesday afternoon in end of November so it was absolutely off season, but the restaurant was packed with locals as well as tourists. Without a reservation we got on a waiting list and went first for another winebar, but as we came back after 30 Min and the table was not free yet, we got another wine on the house and a little chat with the host, because he poured himself one as well :) At the end we got seated after around 45 min without reservation which is actually okay, and waiting was so so worth it. All dishes tasted like pure Italy and regional an fresh ingredients. I ate the Sepia cooked in its own tint which was really breath taking and also entertaining to eat because it was really black :). Wines selection ist very good with alot of small Italian producers. Antipasi shownin the bar are also amazing. Definitley worth a try. Don't expect super fancy food, but good traditional Italian dishes presented nice with a fascinating atmosphere. read more

Nevodi was everything I imagined a meal in Venice to be and more. In a city that's overrun with tourists it was hard to find a quaint place to enjoy a beautiful dinner, until we came across Nevodi. Location: off the beaten path in a quiet little neighborhood. NOT touristy, not flashy. Just a beautiful little neighborhood eatery. Food: fresh, delicious, seasonal. Our party of for had different dishes that were equally delicious. A fusion of traditional and modern. What REALLY shined were the two desserts we chose. Grandmas Salami: yesterday's cake molded into the form of salami with an added hint of almond. Imagine a cross between a cake and cookie with chocolate and almond flavors... delicious. Panne Cotta: the most fresh & rich I've ever had. So simple yet so delicious. Velvety on the tongue. Heaven. Make a reservation & take a water taxi out of the city center to give this place a try. You won't be disappointed. read more

Nevodi - Bars Near Me - Venezia, VE

This is the best restaurant I've yet found in Venice, and possibly Italy. Somehow they managed to take some classic dishes and put a modern (sometimes Asian, sometimes otherwise modern or unexpected) take on them when appropriate, but always executing well. The staff were also super helpful and genuinely helpful. I had a full meal of 3 courses. Hard to tell which dish was the best, since each was excellent and very different, but I'd probably say the pasta with pesto had the greatest surprise in how good it was over expectations. I'll definitely come back. read more

First time I went to this place the waiter asked me "you booked? You have reservations?". I responded no. "Sorry booked in advance only. No" I walked away and came back to try my luck at good dinner for my last night in Venice. This time a different waiter said "you alone?". I said yes. "You want to eat?". I said yes and laughed. He said "ok come my colleague will show you where to sit". The original waiter was the colleague :) apparently someone canceled. So basically reserve in advance. Now onto the food, I had tuna which was quite good. The Roman couple next to me who come to Venice often recommended it to me. Ambience is nice, place is full and has a nice vibe. read more

Our 3rd night in Venice and by far the absolute best food. This is Italian cooking at its finest. So good that we will be going there for dinner tomorrow evening also. From the suggested bottles of wine from Andre, to the ham plate, eggplant parmigiana as starters, to stake, and pumpkin ravioli for dinner.. Oh AND AMAZING desserts, tiramisu is house made and best in Italy. Their English is spot on and they suggest and explain everything.Youre greeted with a smile and welcomed as if it's Sunday dinner at grandmas home.. Locals hang around here, so it a little away from the touristy restaurants, which is perfect. We started dinner at 8, and left at 12am. Conversation and atmosphere is everything, add good food in a foreign country and youve got an amazing night. read more

Food was delicious, service fantastic & entertainment during dinner was great. Pricing was good also

Wow! This family owned gem was so impressive. (Reservations suggested) We ordered the prochuitto and salami appetizer. It was excellent with the house Chianti. I went with one of the Nevodi specialties- The pasta with prawns and pistachio pesto. It was creamy, perfectly cooked, and a large portion. My husband had the fish of the day. He said it was good, but it was the whole fish with the head. (Not my thing) The potatoes served along side the fish were incredible. Shaved then toasted or something. To finish the meal we had the Tiramsu. It was very good and you could tell it was extremely fresh. (This one had more cocoa than coffee flavor.) We were glad to find something away from the touristy spots. This place has great food and a great vibe. The young owner, who is clearly very hard working (also served as the host, our waiter, and a bus boy) was really nice and offered good suggestions as well as great service! read more

We were looking for a place to eat on a Friday night at 5:00 PM. We actually Googled "good restaurants near me" and this came up as the first or second result. The reviews looked fine. We called and amazingly, they had seating for 5 at 7:00 pm. We made a reservation and then made the 15 minute trek along the lagoon walkway and ended up on a wide street (for Venice) lined by restaurants, bars, grocery stores, and gelaterias. One of the nearby bars had birthday decorations, obviously someone celebrating his or her birthday, with full-on karaoke singing (some of the singers were really good). The area felt a little off the beaten track than some of the other places we tried in Venice and given the full-on birthday party, likely also frequented by locals. We arrived and were seated promptly. A congenial gentleman gave us our menus and took our orders and admonished us when he thought we had ordered too much food. HE WAS WRONG. We ate and finished everything. We ordered a steak, grilled octopus, a plate of raw mixed seafood (mostly tuna and shrimp), calamari, gnocchi with crab, and a pasta dish with seafood. The place was packed and the kitchen may have been a little overwhelmed. It took a little while for our food to arrive but it was very very good and the raw seafood was very fresh. We wanted to order more but we're afraid that we would have wait a while given how busy the place was. So we left in search of dessert somewhere else. Service was a little harried but friendly. Some of the servers spoke excellent English and took time to chat with us and my kids while juggling God knows how many orders and tables. I'd come back again. read more

Nevodi - Grilled octopus, steak, calamari, raw seafood platter, and bread. - Bars Near Me - Venezia, VE

Great quality, delicious tasting, and a friendly staff. Very well priced and a great location in a popular area.

This is a beautiful place in Giardini area of Venice and the food is really excellent. Also very nice atmosphere and very friendly service. We had scallops and caprese for starters followed by Spaghetti Vongole and Ravioli stuffed with Sea brass (Pasta of the day). All of it was fantastic. Will definitely come again. read more

A local spot away from the madness of st mark's square where everyone around you is speaking italian. (A bit of a novelty in Venice in summer!). We sat outside on a wide street that is wide because the canal was once filled in! We loved this restaurant! Be sure to make a reservation. We had a great meal. I recommend the simple but delicious buffalo mozzarella tomato app and the lasagna. Also liked the eggplant parm. I wasn't crazy about the smoked cheese in the ravioli but the description was accurate, so shame on me. Don't miss!! If you are lucky (like I was), you will see a man across the street come out and smoke a cigarette in his underwear from a balcony and an elderly woman from another window giving passerby's the evil eye as she smokes as well. Pure entertainment if you snag a chair facing the street. read more

My wife and I had this place recommended to us by our AirBnB, and we're glad we came! Family-run restaurant that has the father and sons giving out great service, and great food. It's nice to have great local food from hard working people! The son suggested our entrees, and both were GREAT! He even de-boned one customer's fish for her! I'd definitely give them a shot if you're trying to get away from the touristy spots. read more

Found this place through yelp which was the closest restaurant to our hotel. Couldn't get a reservation, but was able to sit outside. Pleasantly surprised how friendly and casual the waiter was. Overall had a lovely dinner that was exactly what I wanted/expected from authentic Italian food. Would recommend to anyone and everyone. Apparently the locals frequent this spot and it's always packed. We had the Nevodi pasta, gnocchi, and razor clams with 2 bottles of wine the waiter recommended. Everything was fantastic! Wish I could eat like this every night! read more

Holy calamari! We ordered calamari as an appetizer but didn't realize it was a whole entree! It was the best Italian calamari we've ever had, and it was awesome that the dish also had an assortment of fried fish and shrimp. We also ordered the seafood pasta and whole grilled fish. Everything was so fresh and the pasta was so good that I ate most of my husbands meal There is a wait if you come here during prime dinner time so plan ahead and put your name in! read more

I don't know where you are staying but walk here- now. On a beautiful street, mainly visited by locals, this will be one of your best meals in Venice. Owned by a charming 26 year old and bustling with energy, this tiny restaurant serves classic but elevated food. Recommended to us by locals, it's everything you hope to happen upon. Local, fresh, fun, sophisticated and delicious. This is your chance to eat like a Venetian when they really want to treat themselves. read more

This place is excellent!! We came twice in one day. A must is the fried mixed seafood appetizer, which is delicious! The ravioli is great, as well as the fried fish of the day. Spaghetti with clams is also a good choice. The staff is so accommodating and nice. We all just loved this place!! Highly recommend! read more

Great service but not so great food. The food is unique though. Tried the duck lasagna and could have skipped

Amazing tomato mozzarella salad and tuna. Excellent wines and wine advice without breaking the bank. Worth a detour from the beaten paths. Fun to people watch in this gorgous italian city without cars We loved Nevodi and wound up going there for both dinner and chicetti (small tapas-like snacks). Excellent food, friendly service, wonderful wines. You got a feeling of being in good company and really getting to understand the wines and suggestions of Matteo and his team. (They had a separate page on their wine list for mere mortals and those with money to spend.) The place is busy with both locals and tourists. If you're looking for a place to spend time, drink wine and enjoy the passers by on Rue Garribaldi, this is your place. If you're in a hurry, it's not. The team is really, really busy during the busy hours. We reserved a table for both dinners and it was worth it. Between 7:30 PM and 10 PM the place was packed. Walk ins worked out both before and after that, though. read more

We loved loved loved this restaurant!!! It was great to get out of the crush of the tourist packed corridors of Venice and walk out to feel what feels more local... although it probably is still filled with us tourists... :) It is small and you do need reservations. Tip, have a friend or concierge call for a reservation as it is a very family run business with everyone pitching in running dishes and managing what seemed to be a 10 table restaurant (it was too cold for the patio to be open). Everything was amazing but we still reminisce about the Fish and Nonnas Cake.... You must go read more

This place is incredible. Stuffed into an alley in Venice with a bunch of other bars/restaurants - you wouldn't know upon first glance that it's the best on the street. We had the pistachio pesto, eggplant parmigiana, biscuits w/mustard cream sauce, and of course wine. I tried someone else's tiramisu after a few bottles. :P. The duck pasta looked and smelled delicious - but we were stuffed. This is definitely a place I'll be craving for years to come. Also - be sure to go early or make sure to have a reservation! read more

One of the best restaurants we found in Venice! It's location is pleasantly away from most tourist which is much more relaxing. We stumbled upon them for lunch and they were so delicious we went back the next day for dinner! The blonde man who waited on us was so enthusiastic about food and told us how he got all his ingredients fresh from the markets each day! Not only is the food amazing but the personality of the wait staff is so charming. It's almost like a family run restaurant and they wear the cutest little aprons! Highly recommend you must try this place for the freshest ingredients best homemade pasta and delicious desserts!! read more

Wonderfull food and perfect service. The waiter, Logan, is the perfect host. Make a reservation, orhrwise you won't get in

The food was pretty average here, but it's one of the restaurants that are open pretty late in Venice. And the service is really great. I'm vegetarian and the waiter was so kind in accommodating - I asked for the seafood spaghetti without seafood but the waiter suggested turning into a veggie spaghetti and even charged me less for it than the seafood one! read more

Didn't get in. The old man that runs the place seated two couples that arrived after I did and then it was fully booked.

The first thing you notice as you walk here is that it is not very touristy. This is a local area for sure. My son (14 years old) and I were in Venice for two nights and walked to this street from the st marks area for both of them. The first night we were turned away from this restaurant as we had no reservation. We made one for the second night and returned. This was an absolutely remarkable experience. We ate at a table on the sidewalk and appreciated the culture and beautiful scene around us as the sun set. The food was delicious - which means a lot as we have come from a week long cooking school where the cuisine was amazing. This restaurant has fresh ingredients and friendly service. The waitress spoke good enough English to help with our selections. Without a doubt a wonderful dinner. We would not hesitate to return! read more

Excellent, excellent, excellent! What a gorgeous little restaurant. Fabulous decor and a nice cozy feel. Matteo was very friendly and the service was impeccable. My wife and I are not usually big eaters but we did not leave one morsel of food on our plates. The food was amazing! Wine selection was very good. We are definitely returning for a second dinner before we leave Venice. Oh, and the place is located off the tourist track which was nice and quiet. A great escape from the hustle and bustle of St. Mark's Square. I would give more than five stars, if that was possible. Cheers to Matteo and his team! read more

Great quaint place. Least touristy spot I found in Venice. As a dual Italian/Canadian citizen I can attest to the authenticity and quality of he food. Paccherri with pistachio pesto and shrimp was awesome. Pumpkin ravioli was hearty and perfectly prepared. Antipasti plates were excellent. A great wine choice - Oro di Poggio 2010 Supertuscan. read more

We were on a 2-week trip in Italy and this was by far our favorite restaurant. Not super touristy--small and local. We only knew about it bc the locals in the area told us about it. Make sure to call ahead for reservations. You can't get a table otherwise. EVERYTHING here is good. We wanted to go back before leaving Venice but they were full :( and could not accommodate us. read more

Stumbled upon Nevodi, and glad we did. Google described it as "comfort food", which suited us fine as we were majorly jet lagged and not ready for culinary adventure. Got the Eggplant Parm and Spaghetti a la Vongole. Both were perfectly cooked and flavorful. The clams were spicier than we've had before, but quite tasty. Ordered Primitivo red wine (same grape as Zinfandel) and the host mentioned it was a typical selection of our countrymen (though our nationality was actually never discussed); Italians, we were told, would prefer something lighter on a summer evening. So next time, we'll let him choose for us :)) The Primitivo was fine nonetheless. Nevodi turned out to be a solid choice. Will return. read more

Awesome food!! This place is very busy at dinner time, I recommend you make a reservation. We make a reservation for tomorrow night dinner. I'm going get a tiramisu for desert. read more

Delicious food in a city full of it. I had the ravioli w/duck and the grilled octopus. Food was fresh, our waiter even told us the mozzarella was made that very day. The place was mobbed. Worth a visit to. read more

Greatest restaurant I've found in Venice. Great homemade food, good drinks and friendly staff. I would definitely go back again!

Put this on your list if you are in Venice Italy. Reservations are a must. Don't forget the chocolate salami for dessert! Trust me.

Loved this restaurant! Went here 2 times during the 5 days we were in Venice. The food is creative and high quality. You have to try the pistachio pesto. The service is great but it is really popular so helps to make a reservation. A little outside the main areas but kind of nice to get out of the crowds. read more

This place was recommended by the owner of our AirBnB. We had to wait until 9 to get a table and it was so worth the wait. I ordered the seafood pasta and my husband got the ravioli. Both were amazing. The service was great and we met a great group that sat next to us. Wish we could have gone back for another great dinner but we only had one night in Venice. read more

Excellent choice of local ingredients, especially fish. Also nice selection of wines by the glass. Asked about octopus and they made me a special small salad as a starter. Looking at the table next to me... Sicilian tuna three ways. It's what's for lunch tomorrow! Gotta go enjoy my mussels and clams. read more

Great little spot! Outdoors or indoors. Delicious, authentic italian food served by charming, friendly, knowledgeable staff. The oysters were some of the best I have ever had and we shared platters of a variety of vegetables - grilled and otherwise and a "seafood" one - unlike any I have seen before - both a feast for the eyes and the palate. Not touristy - just a cozy spot filled with people that love food and wine served with pride and passion. read more
