This restaurant in the heart of Burano was part of a group dinner we selected as part of our Italian Tour. The food was flavorful and portion sizes were large. The owner took care of our dietary requests (including no dairy in the risotto for some of our party), and was so friendly with our kids. The staff speak English as well, which is a plus. We ended up with a Prix Fixe menu and enjoyed the pasta dish with clams, Risotto, and also their fish. The kids enjoyed pasta with meat sauce as well. The bread was standard. We sat in a dining room off to the side of the main restaurant and it was a nice private space without a lot of foot traffic. It was also nice and quiet (not a loud or rowdy place), so we could enjoy our dinner and conversation. The restroom facilities were clean and well maintained and the location was right off a main square, where you could get to the colorful houses and small shops easily. PROS: Friendly staff and owner, English speaking, flavorful and plenty of food. CONS: Burano is not actually in Venice, so you have to take a boat to get here. BOTTOM LINE: I'd go back to try some of the selections off the regular menu. Our Prix Fixe menu was great, but I am sure there are other awesome selections here. We hope to be back again next time we're in Venice!
Based on the location on the map, I believe this is the place we went to for drinks in Burano. It was close to the leaning campanile, an Italian flag, and a bust which my husband took a picture near. We had about 50 minutes before our boat tour left, so we got a quick drink and then sprinted to take some colorful pictures. We got our drinks fast. The waiter was quick and gave us our bill quick. We ordered a negroni and americano. Both were extremely strong, but we drank them and were not drunk, so success!
Cafe' Vecio Trattoria is an absolutely perfect restaurant to have lunch on Burano Island. I'd highly recommend making reservations for a late lunch on the patio if it isn't too warm. I have a friend who went there on my recommendation earlier this month and it was way too warm to sit on the patio, but they have tables inside. Also, when you make reservation make sure you ask them if they have the shrimp risotto. It was amazing and one of the best things I've had. My friend tried to order it earlier this month and they didn't have it. They also have a spaghetti marinara with clams that is wonderful. Everything I had there was fabulous from the multiple courses to the bussola di burano canal shaped cookies that you dip in wine for dessert. They also sell the cookies. See my photo of the package my friend just brought back. The service was amazing when we were here. The waiters were so cheerful and humorous. They brought the courses on big family style platters, so you could get seconds if you wanted them. Here is a little information on Burano. It is not to be confused with Murano where they have all the glass making factories and showrooms. Burano is a quaint little fishing village island. All the homes are on canals with bridges, so there's no cars. Personally, I think Burano is a great place to go shopping if you want to save some money on glass jewelry items. In order to get to Burano you need to take one of the vaporettos and it takes about 30 to 40 minutes to get there. Check out the photos and don't forget to make a reservation if you decide to go.
On a warm day in Burano, Italy, and after some sightseeing, we wanted to stop for a late lunch and of course a cocktail. Burano is a colorful fishing island among the Venetian Lagoon so seafood was a must. We made our way to the Piazza Galuppi, named after Baldassare Galuppi (1706 - 1785), an italian composer born on the island. At the Piazza Galuppi you will find a statue of Galuppi in the main square, the Museo del Merletto or Lace Museum, the leaning tower and Cafe Vecio Trattoria. Try the fish platter. It was fantastic as you would expect. And, an Aperol Spritz.
Exelent service! Food was delicious too. The Owner was very friendly and kind. He was making sure all the costumers were treating right and the food was as they were expecting it. We also had a very nice conversation with him. It was our first time and if I ever back in Venezia I'll go back to his restaurant. Food quality was Outstanding!

Pretty restaurant, menu had many choices & service was on point. Enjoyed sitting on the busy corner watching Burano pass us by. My fried soft shell crabs were a real treat, crispy &tasty. My husband ordered gnocchi with cherry tomatoes & crab meat, also delicious. read more

Amazing food, the service was great (they got me a cup of milk, weird request) the ac is pretty good throughout the restaurant, my table was right underneath the ac and I was in heaven! The seafood risotto was the best risotto i've ever had in my life! This place is a must try if you're on the island of Burano. A+ Don't take the lack of reviews for lack of quality, this place is absolutely delicous. (ps. the bathroom is pretty clean, the sinks are foot pedal operated which is pretty nice, and the paper towels to dry your hands are nice and thick) read more
