There was definitely a line for tables when we left. We wanted a light dinner so we only got lasagna and a glass of wine, but the service was wonderful and it was the best lasagna of my life. The interior of this restaurant was small, but really cute all the food at all the tables looked amazing. I would definitely want to eat here again and try more things. This was a wonderful dinner.

This place was one of the first stops we made for lunch while walking through the paths of Venice…read more The scenery was excellent and the restaurant looked clean and high end for a good lunch. Unfortunately our wait staff had major issues getting the orders through. In the end what we thought were small personal pizzas ended up being full size ones. Simply too much food for three people. The quality of the dish was questionable at best and gave each of us terrible upset stomachs for the rest of our day in Venice. Overall just an extremely disappointing experience.

We…read morewalked about 15 minutes from our hotel through the Venetian labyrinth and arrived right at opening. A combination of a thunderstorm and an early dinner meant the place was empty, but Marco and other staff welcomed us warmly all the same. We had the antipasti Parmigiana Di Melanzane (fried eggplant with cheese) and enjoyed the mains Pasta Al Forno (baked pasta with beef and peas), Pasta Con Le Polpette E Salsa Di Pomodoro (spaghetti with meatballs - not pictured), and Turbante Di Pesce Spada "A Beccafico" (baked swordfish). These were also with the Casa Rosso wine and Birra Siciliana beer both blonde and red. All food was superb. The fried eggplant was flavorful and fresh, and the bread was crispy and savory. The baked pasta was rich, the spaghetti and meatballs were nostalgic, and the swordfish was delectable. Safe to say we all cleared our plates easily. We wish nothing but the very best for Marco and his restaurant. This food was some of the best we had on our two week stay throughout Italy. The atmosphere, staff, and of course the amazing food made for a great experience that we would recommend to anyone looking for a reasonably priced homestyle Sicilian meal.

This was by far one of the greatest meals I've ever had in my entire life. The service was amazing…read more Every staff member we encountered was not just polite but genuinely friendly. 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.

Took us about a 20 minute walk to get there but it was every step worth it…read more We had a reservation for us ahead of time and that helped. Nicola and Saor were our hosts and kept our tables well served through and through. Saor ran us through the options and we ended up ordering the following: Green beans with almond, grilled fennel with walnuts, lentils and stuffed mushrooms. You really cannot go wrong with any of these as how they were severed though my personal favorite were the lentils and the fennel. Absolutely recommend the place and their hosts and as well the ambiance that you get in a subtle kind of quite part of the town. Just do it!!

It's rare to find a quiet place, out of the touristy path where you can get honest food for a great price. We ordered the wood fired pizza and weren't disappointed.

Old world here meant old furnishings ~ a bit dark & divey inside without any windows, we opted to eat outside. The chairs and tables literally inches from the canal edge are rickety and unstable, a joking fear of falling into the water. Service ~ no smiles, deadpan expression, just nods when taking our order. Food ~ meh. Small portions compared to the other restaurants we experienced and pricey. Nothing eyebrow raising in flavors and little to no meat in the pasta. The mussels were rubbery. Bare minimum pedestrian activity, minimum service, less than entree quality gave us an infelice face :/

My friend and I had an early dinner here- by Italian standards- as it was close to our hotel. Wow!…read moreWhat a great choice! We were seated outside with a lovely view of the grand canal. I could smell the beautiful flowers lining the terrace. We started the meal with Aperol Spritzes as usual and ended with the most potent limoncello ever!

The pasta dishes were very good and they had extensive seafood options. The frutti de mare was very delicious. My wife had the filet mignon. It was great as well. The cocktail drinks need a little work. The bartender could not make a vodka martini and it came out like a vodka soda with lots of vermouth in a short glass even though they had all the ingredients and tools to make it. Overall, a great restaurant for seafood and a fantastic patio area along the canal.

Pizza wasn't bad, 7/10. Just your standard pizza, but better than anything else I had in Venice…read more Service wasn't great though. I asked for a margarita pizza and the worker at the front gave me a cheese pizza. I clarified that I wanted a margarita with tomato, basil, and mozzeralla, and he said this is it.

It's…read moredefinitely a bit tricky to find -- tucked away in an alley with a side-door entrance, not on the main street. Since Venice is generally expensive, I found this spot to be relatively affordable, so we decided to give it a try. We ordered the fried seafood, which is their most popular item. It's served in a paper cone that makes the portion look large, but in reality, it's just enough for a light snack. At around 9 euros, I think it's fair, since fried seafood is usually pricier. I'd recommend stopping by if you're looking for a quick snack rather than a full meal. It's tasty, fun to try, and budget-friendly by Venice standards.
