Polenta with bacala on top, a meatball and an Aperol spritz.

I was here two years ago and it was a rainy late afternoon so we duct in here for drinks and cicchetti (think Italy style tapas). I just got back to Venice and stumbled on this place again. The cicchetti were still awesome and the drinks great. Owners are SUPER nice. Tons of locals walking by waving at the owners so you know this place is legit!

Ae Forcoe is a small Venetian bar and restaurant featuring a modest selection of tapas bites and potent cocktails served with a huge helping of friendliness. It's a casual neighborhood bar ... and what a neighborhood it is ... nestled between adventure and tranquility in Venice, Italy. We started our night at Osteria Ae Forcoe with a couple classic Italian cocktails. A house-specialty Negroni weaving gin, vermouth, and an apéritif for me. A local favorite Aperol Spritz (aka Spritz Veneziano) with prosecco and aperol for her. Both drinks were ok ... and so was Ae Forcoe. Despite the real temptations of some of the pre-made food choices in the display counter near the entrance, we thanked the cheerful bartenders and head out in search of more foodie adventure in Venice.

One of the coolest little Osteria's in Venice. Ice cold beer, great wine selection and a vast finger food selection.

Love this place for for Alpen beer on tap. The tortino patate e tartufo was great. Moscardini (octopus) on palenta, meatballs and flan di funghi recommended. My favorites are the flan di funghi, tortino patate e tartufo, meatballs and the Angus beef burger (get extra yellow bell peppers)

If you're looking for a place to rest and enjoy a glass of wine during your walking tour of Venice, this is a great choice. The wine selection is broad, the owners are very friendly and the vibe is relaxed. We came here twice - once during an afternoon of sightseeing, and then again on New Year's Eve before dinner. Both times we didn't want to leave! You also have the added bonus of free Wi-fi, which can be a godsend for international travelers. Check it out if you're in this part of town.

Fun bar, personable owners......Playing Venetian Reggae music, nice place for a drink ! Very reasonable prices. No credit cards....cash only. Owners are native Venetians and have been in business 6 months.

Excellent cicchetti and friendly staff. Popped in for a spritz and a snack and did not leave disappointed.

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.
