The coffee was also amazing, perfectly pulled shots of espresso. The coffee itself wasn't too acidic which I always like. The focaccia from the sandwich was freshly baked that morning too and the combination between serrano ham and cheese was very tasty. They do heat up the sandwich, so if you're into hot breakfast this is a great spot for that! Overall, I would 100% revisit this spot if I'm ever on Venice again: excellent food and service!

I recently had a deeply disappointing encounter with Ristorante da Ivo that left me utterly frustrated and bewildered. Having made a reservation well in advance and even provided my credit card information to secure the booking, I was excited to try out what I had heard was a good restaurant. Unfortunately, my experience turned out to be far from what I had anticipated. Upon arriving at the restaurant on the designated evening, my excitement quickly turned into confusion and embarrassment. The host looked at me with a puzzled expression when I mentioned my reservation and provided my name. After a brief consultation with a colleague, he informed me that there seemed to be an issue and that they were unable to accommodate me. To my astonishment, the host then casually mentioned that they had apparently sent me an email, which I was supposed to have received earlier in the day, notifying me about their inability to honor the reservation. I was taken aback - not only had I received no such email, but I had also provided my credit card details to secure the reservation, which made the situation even more perplexing. While I understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise in the restaurant industry, the lack of communication and professionalism on the part of the restaurant was deeply disappointing. It's inconceivable to me that they would take credit card information and confirm a reservation only to later claim they couldn't accommodate without any direct communication. What hurt the most was not just the inconvenience of finding an alternative dining option on short notice, but the manner in which the situation was handled. The staff's attitude lacked empathy and understanding, leaving me feeling like an afterthought rather than a valued guest. In the end, this experience has left a sour taste in my mouth, both figuratively and literally. I strongly advise potential diners to exercise caution when considering making reservations at this restaurant. The disregard for customer service and the lack of transparency in their operations are major red flags that overshadow any potential culinary delights the restaurant might offer. In the world of hospitality, trust, communication, and respect for guests are paramount. Regrettably, my encounter with this particular establishment highlighted a stark departure from these principles. As a result, I cannot, in good conscience, recommend this restaurant based on my unfortunate experience. read more

To be…read morehonest, we weren't that hungry but I saw this place on Google Maps when I was checking out the area where we were staying (Palazzo Venezia is our hotel in Dorsoduro). The menu looked great and it was in the opposite direction of the tourist area. We talked with the hotel concierge and he said it's best to have reservations but that lunch is a little easier just to walk in. We arrived around 12:30 and asked if they could accommodate us and the server was friendly and happy to seat us at a two-top at the back of the restaurant. It was a perfect viewpoint for good people watching. Speaking of people watch... it's clear this is a locals place. The restaurant probably has 10 or so tables. When we arrived there were just a few tables empty and the tables that were there were enjoying life with wine and a multi-course meal. There was a woman I admired because she was eating by herself and thoroughly enjoying it, she clearly knew the entire staff ( they kept coming to visit), she had her dog with her and was taking her time to savor the meal and her bottle of wine. Anyway, back to the food. My husband ordered a Campari spritz and I got a glass of their house white. It was so good I had a second glass! We ordered the beef roll to share. It was braised beef with Parma ham or some kind of cured ham in the middle. It was braised until it was tender in a marinara/tomato sauce. Yum! My husband ordered rigatoni with octopuses with a kind of basil pesto and it was great. He also ordered roasted potatoes. Hr just wanted it I guess but they were good and cooked perfectly. I ordered the pasta with artichokes and bottarga. It was superb. It had a lemon sauce that was rich and delicious. I forgot to mention they serve a bread basket with these crispy cracker-type things that were great. I could taste anise seeds in them. They also served a crusty bread. At the end the friendly server offered dessert. I had no room. We opted for espresso to help digest. Our bill ended up being $111 euros. We will likely make a dinner reservation and return but the concierge said there are more than 400 restaurants in Venice. We have a lot of options on our list but this is worth a second visit.
