Wayne D.

The island food sometimes is more expensive than the main Venice city Ordered a fish lasagna. 5/5. Either the best or second best lasagna I had in my life. White sauce goes really well with seafood inside. Creamy and strong umami flavor. Spinach and cottage pizza. Not my type since there's no meat. My partner likes it though You can see the beautiful Brano scenery outside. Waiters really nice too

The outside seating atea

Fantastic place in Burano for pizza and calamari. Great place for a cool lunch in a lovely location. Extensive menu with lots of choices for everyone. Staff very pleasant.

Definitely overlooked in the beautiful city of Burano! There are flicks of tourist just walking past this little pizza shop. The pizza here was no joke, maybe best in all of Venice/Murano/Burano. The dough was very crisp yet chewy. I don't remember the name of the pizza I ordered but every single pizza sounded mouth watering so I just asked for the most ordered and went with it. I also got a grilled fresh fish of the day, the waiter told us it was literally just hauled off the boats. It sure tasted super fresh, very tender and the meat flakes off the bones with ease. I wish I had more time in Burano to come again.

Onion. Pepper, egg, salami

I think so far this place has the best pizza I've tried in Venice. None of the pizza places wow-Ed me but principe pizzeria. We went by the recommendations of the server and had the pizza with peppers, fried egg, and salami. We also had the grilled sea bass. The waiter told us that the sea bass is very fresh and came in just 5-10 mins ago and it really tasted that fresh! They have seats outside so you can people watch and enjoy the view of Burano.

Salad with octopus, shrimp, corn, olives, and tomatoes (12 euro)
Katie W.

After wandering beautiful Burano, we found Principe Pizzeria due to TripAdvisor reviews. The staff are definitely used to tourists, and they have an English menu. You can choose to sit inside or outside, and there was AC inside. Food: -Gnocchi scampi (about 16 euro): This gnocchi dish came with zucchini and just a few shrimp that were halved so you really only got about 3 whole shrimp with just a measly amount of meat. The gnocchi was tender, but the sauce was flat and the overall dish just didn't do anything for me. I've definitely had better in Italy and paid less for it too. -Salad with octopus, shrimp, corn, and olives (about 12 euro): This salad is huge and can easily be shared among two people, but it was also the priciest salad I had while in Italy. I was craving seafood, but the octopus was too tough and the shrimp were almost mealy (not pleasant to eat). Other reviews raved about the seafood, so maybe it was just an off day. Service: -They do speak English here, and the service was fine (nothing that stood out). Bottom Line: I wouldn't return to this restaurant considering there are so many other choices around the town. It did its job, but it was just an average ho-hum meal with an above average price tag.

Great people, free wifi & casual atmosphere. Had a great tiramisu and some cheap good cappuccino. Clean bathroom and air conditioning too!

The ice-coffee is special: in the glass there is a scoop ice cream on the espresso, and whipped cream on the ice cream.

Squid/Inkfish spaghetti and carbonara taste very good! The ice-coffee is special: in the glass there is a scoop ice cream on the espresso, and whipped cream on the ice cream. As I stilled and mixed them up, the coffee is wonderful. The last but not the least, the prices of meals are even lower than the restaurants in mainland Venice.

Siting by the canal.

Nice atmosphere on the canal Great pizza. Service a bit slow, but they were busy and we weren't in a hurry. Recommend!

Margarita pizza, photo taken outside

A solid choice if you're in Burano for lunch. We got here around 11am and we were able to find seating outside. The service was excellent. The bread and olive oil were okay. I ordered a margarita pizza and it was definitely one of the better pizzas I had in Italy. The sauce was the best part. I also ordered the iced coffee dessert but that wasn't as amazing, still good though.

The place was already packed and we felt lucky as we had an open space! The menu had a variety to order, from vegetarian friendly and mainly fish driven dishes. I must say that this place has above and beyond service as they are communicative & productive. You are welcomed with Prosecco but my husband & I don't drink so we kindly declined. We ordered the risotto (which is seafood) & it had a wonderful warmth we were craving. Very flavorful and not too overwhelmed, rice was cooked perfectly as well. The star of the show however was the grilled branzino with a side of olives & tomatoes. The fish itself melts in your mouth and the olive oil was a perfect touch. The calamari was probably the best calamari I have ever had as it wasn't too greasy and was perfectly cooked. The flavors are unmatched & I hope this restaurant gets more recognition it deserves.

The food here was good…read more I got the spaghetti with butter sauce and my partner got the risotto with scampi. Both were very delicious and good. They had AC inside and it was nice considering it was a hot day. Only reason I gave only 3 stars is because the one server was sort of rude. The table next to us didn't want wine and just ordered water. When he turned his back he was rolling his eyes. Maybe they don't drink or want to hydrate with water (which you pay for anyway) since it was hot outside. Then when they didn't order more expensive food items he also seemed disgusted and annoyed Everyone else there was great but it makes me wonder what he did to us since I just ordered spaghetti with butter sauce. (wasn't that hungry and just wanted a simple pasta dish) if he doesn't approve of such inexpensive food items maybe he should suggest them be removed!!! He was the rudest person I have encountered this whole trip to Italy.

It's a hot day and I'm glad we had a seat inside with air conditioner. Most places don't offer AC…read more I ordered the risotto with scampi since I can order it for 1 person unlike other restaurants. I thought it was decent. Ample portion. Scampi is cut up shrimp added to the standard risotto with fish flavored sauce. I thought it was good. Maybe not authentic enough but I researched the other restaurants and they are about the same. Like all other restaurants they charge for bread as a cover fee. I would avoid the spaghetti with butter sauce. It's what it's called so nothing special about it. The next table ordered the grilled fish. This was quite a show. They present it in a platter then transfer it to the 2 dinner plates. They remove the fish bones and dish out the fillet. The left overs (bones) gets tossed with salt/pepper and they pour the fish juice over the fillet.

A taste of history & tradition…read more Our lunch at #TrattoriadaRomano was unforgettable -- nestled in colorful Burano, this fourth-generation family-run gem has been crafting its iconic risotto the same way since the 1920s, and you can feel that legacy in every bite. The dining room is a living gallery -- walls packed with hundreds of paintings and sketches gifted by patrons over a century. Among them: cartoons of Ernest Hemingway in a hilariously manic duck-hunting scene -- and his signature even adorns their guestbooks. We ordered the legendary "risotto digò" (go‑fish risotto) -- a creamy, umami-packed delight. No cream; just perfectly cooked rice in a deeply flavored fish broth made the texture silky and indulgentTruly, risotto that feels like history on a plate. "A taste of history and tradition" is no exaggeration -- this dish and entire atmosphere are one-of-a-kind. From four generations of love to the art-lined walls, every detail made our meal "unique and awesome."

You've got to know the food was pretty bad at this restaurant when we travelled from California and…read morethe first review we posted on our return was this "avoid at all costs" piece of advice. According to chat gpt this is the best restaurant on burano and you should wait to get there without eating on murano. The mixed seafood grill they charged €35 for consisted of 1 small shrimp (uncleaned) , a 1 inch piece of squid a 2 dried out pieces of fish (see bass?) Now I know we're not famous artists like the old images on the wall, and we're not Keith Richard who has his photo on the wall twice. But I would think our euro's spend just the same as anyone else's. My advice, walk past this trattoria and find one with better food, services etc. and one that doesn't rely on its reputation from 20-30 years ago!

They have tables outside but then won't let you sit at them which is odd. They also kept saying they only opened two weeks ago, but they have signs for awards from the early aughts in the window and google reviews from years and years ago. Overall this place just doesn't make sense to me and watching several other tables get their meals and checks and leave that arrived way after us was just not great. The food was good, but the restaurant was somewhat dirty. I dropped something on the floor and found the floor was caked with dirt and debris. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this place.

The seafood is served in a cracker bowl which is both super sustainable and a fun way to eliminate waste. The service was so nasty toward the tourists that I was really close to stepping away from the venue during the initial interaction. But we were tired from a long day of exploring and were opting for something more casual before heading on the ferry back. Prices for the dishes aren't exactly cheap. For a pile of seafood and a drink I believe the cost was close to 20 euros.
