Date of visit: May 28, 2025…read more The rule for tourist towns such as Venice: Avoid any place that has pictures on the menu outside, folks waving you in, or giant signs outside. Al Garzoti doesn't have any of these things, with their name only appearing inside on the bar. Service is nothing to write home about; our waiter who looked like a young Nick Jonas, minus the charm, barely interacted with us, but the food he brought us was wonderful! If you've already had some pizza while in Italy, then go with a calzone instead. They are large and a great value, too. Note the ingredients first, though; Italians do not like substitutions. I tried a pezzo di pizze with ham and that too, was great!

Oh. My. God. I think about this place on the daily, genuinely. We were only in Venice for 4 days…read morebut we made sure to come here twice because it was so good. The seafood is absolutely delicious! We got stuffed squid, sardines, the fried seafood mixed plate, the octopus, and an eggplant dish as well. Unfortunately I am an uneducated American and do not recall the specific names of these dishes, but this place had so many amazing options, if you're a fan of seafood you cannot go wrong. It's a small, quant place that was cute and had a lot of charm! Venice overall is such a beautiful city, there wasn't a time during our stay where I didn't enjoy the views, buildings, etc. the servers/chefs were also really nice and helpful! Amazing experience and I truly dream about the sardines.

The pumpkin flan was a true experience of sweet and savoriness. I couldn't stop eating the ratatouille; it was such a delicious treat. I was able to have a conversation with the chef after our meal, and she encouraged my excitement to experiment and try my hand at some of these dishes at home. I wish I lived in Venice, so I could have La Zucca regularly. They only had one reservation spot for the days we were in Venice, so I definitely recommend making reservations ahead of time.

We made a 12:30pm reservation for lunch, which I recommend doing, though note that they do require…read morea €100 deposit. The seating made it completely worth it, though--we were seated right by the canal water and had a gorgeous view throughout our meal! The servers were very pleasant, though navigating the menu takes a little extra effort. The menu is in Italian and changes regularly. While they do provide a translation menu, I ended up using my phone to translate most of it myself. For dietary restrictions, they do mark allergy items, though there aren't very many gluten-free options available. To drink, I ordered an Aperol Spritz. For food, I had the carrot soup and a plate of two sides: ratatouille and zucchini. The soup and the zucchini were both delicious! One of my friends ordered the linguine, but unfortunately found it to be overly salty. Overall, it's a lovely spot for a scenic lunch by the water, especially if you enjoy a lively atmosphere and don't mind navigating a changing Italian menu.

Wow! What an incredible experience. We've been traveling through Europe and happened to find this…read moreplace on our last night in Venice, and we're so glad we did. From the moment we arrived, the owner, Marco, made us feel genuinely welcome. He explained that the food is Sicilian and quite different from what you typically find in Venice, which was exactly what we were hoping for after days of similar menus. The menu is short, focused, and built around family recipes. We ordered the pasta of the day, the roast beef, and the smoked salmon dish, and every single item was fantastic. To finish, we had limoncello made by Marco's mother, and it was absolutely delicious. What really made the evening special was Marco and his family. They were warm, kind, and genuinely happy to share their story with us. We loved hearing about his late father and the lasting impact he had on both the family and the restaurant. One of the most memorable parts of the night was joining in the restaurant tradition of coloring pictures and exchanging them with drawings already hanging on the ceiling. We ended up taking home a picture created by a family member, and it will be making the journey back with us to Carlsbad, California. Without a doubt, this was the best dining experience of our entire trip through Europe. Highly recommended!!

We split the lasagna, ravioli, and seitan roast, which turned out to be about the right amount of food for two moderately hungry people.
