Great pizzas with large selection amd reasonable prices.

Be prepared for a wait! The place is tiny and popular so you will have to wait. There is a nice pub just across the alley way that you can wait in. The people working at the restaurant weren't overly friendly when we were putting our name in, but the service imporved once we were seated and had ordered our food. Everyone at our table ordered a pizza for themselves. Some of us finished it, but they were fairly big. If you arent big eatters, maybe share a few amoung a gruop. Decent wine list, good food, not overly expensive (for Venice). Worth checking out. Not great for large groups. read more

The food was delicious and came fast. The wait staff were pleasant. Maybe 15 tables for 2, inside only but worth it. We had a salad with saved bees and Italian table cheese, a "Capricorn" pizza, spaghetti scampi and something else I can't remember. It was all good. Recommended. read more

I second the vote to make reservations. Although we were a party of two, (easily seated). at their evening opening (7:00) we had the nice lady at our hotel call for reservations. They got us in at 8:30. Many larger (3,4,5) groups were turned away during the evening because they simply don't have the space to seat you before they close at 10:15. My wife had Great Pizza Funghi with mozzarella and no tomato sauce. YUM. I had the spaghetti carbonara (which I've come to LOVE since in Italy.) Spaghetti was OK, not the most flavorful, but I'd definitely go there again to try something else. Fantastic, attentive service. read more

Absolutely great restaurant in Venice. The staff was friendly and prompt, very hard to find. The food was even better, we ordered the gnocchi and a pizza and just fantastic. I you find yourself in the area stop by for dinner, however you may have to wait, it says something about the quality. read more

Great service! Great food! Ordered the seafood pasta, the seafood (shrimp, mussel, clams, fish) was half of the pasta dish. Very generous proportion! read more

Great service, extremely good grilled scallops and their signature pizza is fantastic!

I ordered a pesto pasta plate that was good my husband loved it and he enjoyed his pizza as well

Great Pizza, super friendly service. Make a reservation if you want to go there as it is always packed. The pizza is one of the best in town and the house wine is good as well. read more

Good not great. Our friend really hyped this one up. We had a good meal. Four stars is right on.

We arrived in Venice starving and hit Da Mamo before venturing forth to explore Venice. It was an odd time around 130 and we're were able to be seated right away. I ordered the zodiac pesci and my daughter the virgin. Hers was topped with fresh basil leaves, mine arugula. Both were delicious. We were brought a starter of what I believe was tuna mousse that was very tasty. And with the bill came a chocolate cup with an orange liquor. Perfect way to end a perfect meal. read more

16 years passed since the last visit to Venice. The food scene has improved a lot. This was nothing fancy but great food! Pizza crust was ultra thin and crispy. Pasta was al dente but not overly so. Chicken had a zesty and refreshing lemon sauce. 5 stars for food and 4 stars for service. read more

Found this place while yelping for our next dinner in Venice. Stumbled upon it after our tour to the grand canal. My bf ordered the sausage with sweet peppers pizza while I ordered the brushetta and grilled scallops. The read more

One of the best places in Venice. Food incredible. Deserts are to die for. Tiramusi and white chocolate mouse with pears and nuts was so good that we ordered double portion. Service is fast and enjoyable. All that is for a very reasonable price. Highly recommend. Tip: it is very easy to find, I used Google maps and was fine. read more

The service is impeccable and the food is delicious! We ordered the chicken topped with mozzarella and tomato sauce.. O my! My taste buds were exploding. We finished the meal with the warmed chocolate cake with a soft middle atop white chocolate! It was delicious! The wait staff was attentive and very welcoming. We get the tip to try this restaurant from a local and I'm so glad we followed her advice! read more

It is simply a touristy place that is quite expensive. Two pizzas and one large and one small beer totalled 42 euros. My wife and I ordered two different pizzas and they were average at best by Italian standards. We didn't have any pastas, however, we came with our baby and asked for a half portion and we were informed that all portions are pre-set by the kitchen and can't be changed. That was the first one for us as usually the chef would just put half the amount for us. We did hear that in a busy touristy places meals are actually pre-made and then just warmed up and served. This one must be it. read more

Very busy and popular and for good reason. We had pizza because it looked so good at the table next to ours. Fabulous! The best ever. Chocolate soufflé dessert was great. Our neighbor table ( the tables are intimately close) had tiramisu and raved. Waiters very friendly. We dropped in without reservation and were told to come back in an hour. When we returned our table was ready with our name on a place card. Nice touch read more

Amazing food, amazing service. We got there and there was a bit of a wait. The manager (we think) told us to wait outside till around 8:35pm. While we waited he brought us two glasses of prosecco to enjoy and continually followed up with us about our wait time and table. When we finally got inside everyone was beyond hospitable. We were offered a small sampling of a dish (to compensate for our wait time), and were treated exquisitely. My fiancé ordered a mushroom white pizza and I got the traditional Venetian black (squid ink) pasta. We also shared a salad. The food was exceptional. My pasta was the perfect cook and temperature, the black ink was heavy and abundant with squid, perfectly complimenting the pasta. My fiancé said this was also the best pizza he'd ever had. I tasted it and it was yummy, it had many layers of flavor that went beyond one note. The dessert was the most underwhelming dish. We ordered a panna cotta to share and unfortunately it was a bit too gelatinous in texture. The best panna cottas I've had are mostly cream barely bound together by a smidgen of gelatin. This tasted more like jello than panna cotta. But otherwise an excellent excellent evening, a wonderful meal and the most elegant and hard working staff. We will definitely return. read more

They are rude. We sat down and they had an attitude about us sitting in the wrong spot after waiting for a long time. Then my sister went to the bathroom and we decided to leave and as we were leaving they sarcastically said "bye thank you for using the toilet". read more

We stumbled upon this restaurant, and I'm so glad we did! We had to wait about 5 minutes to sit down, which was not discouraging because it felt like the kind of place that was worth the wait, and it was. The food and wine were delicious, and many extras were provided - olive oil and bread, and even a small dessert plate of chocolate cups with banana liquor inside. This was my favorite restaurant in all of Rome, Florence, and Venice. Don't miss it! read more

My wife and I stumbled upon this place while we were wandering around the Rialto, and I'm stoked that we found it. The food is incredible, more specifically their caprese salad - it was the best caprese of the 4 cities we visited while in Italy. The staff is young, personable, and speak/understand English very well. We felt comfortable immediately after entering and enjoyed our entire dining experience. Would highly recommend to anyone! read more

The waiters were funny and attentive, and good with children. They were happy to provide our children with spaghetti and red sauce even though it's not on the menu. The food was excellent for the price, and it's a lovely little Italian restaurant. The calzone was really tasty. Would come back. read more

We had our dinner here (by August end) while we were in Venice!! The restaurant was super-crowded. They have good options for pizza (zodiac pizzas) and also for pasta. Initially they gave some dinner rolls and breadsticks, they were delicious. We had Pollo al limone alla Caprese (chicken dish) and Tagliolini con le Seppie in "Nero" (Pasta with cuttlefish in Venetian sauce). Both the dishes were good and flavorful. And for dessert we had chocolate souffle with vanilla ice-cream,it was so yummy. And at last, they give you the complimentary hot liquor on a small (not so tiny) chocolate cup. Overall the price is good for the portion size and the tastes are fresh and flavorful. read more

Waiters were happy and friendly. Food delish. Try the chicken with cáprese salad. Pizzas were just perfect.

This is definitely a tourist restaurant despite its back alley location. We showed up right at opening since we didn't have reservations. Got seated right away. The meal was tasty, but not spectacular. I was also quite hungry after a long day of sight-seeing. After our meal we were rushed out of the restaurant. This would be a great place for American tourists who like to have fast service/quick turnover. I personally like to sit and enjoy my meal and company. This was the first place I have been to in Europe that rushed us out like that. read more

This was the third time that we came to Da Mamo, within a two year period. The first experience in 2012 was so good that I thought I dreamed it, so had to come back again and it lived up to my dreams. They are busy (good sign), all tables filled on all visits, but still the service, the ambience, etc did not feel rushed. In fact, the service, the friendly staff adds another star. We came as a family, and all were happy with the food and the totality of the experience. We were able to visit and talk during dinner and actually hear each other, unlike in some other restaurants. I had the sea bass, it was wonderful. We all loved the polenta, had a firm texture and light smokey flavor. The pizza was good, and the scallops were tender and sweet. We ordered the Da Mamo red house wine, and it was so good at such an incredibly inexpensive price...but then, this is Italy isn't it? To cap it all off, at the end of the meal, the waiter brought us a delicious limoncello in a chocolate cup, AND compliments of the house. In addition, he good naturedly agreed to stop for a moment and take a family photo. Now how good is that? We will go back to Venice some day, if to just take in Da Mamo. read more

Hot, slow service and food was good but not amazing. Ordered two pizzas and a pasta. Food all came out at different times. Hard to communicate with the staff and took them forever to bring us things after we asked for them. Pasta carbonara has half pasta and half bacon and shrimp. I am a pasta lover so it was a disappointment but everyone has their own idea. Others in the group ordered a cheese and apple pizza which was okay and different and then a typical pizza with salami which was also good. We would have enjoyed it much more if the service was better. Definitely get a reservation if you want to eat here. read more

Great restaurant. I would advise you book since it's always packed after 7:30. Pizzas are divine, service is very good, prices are reasonable. Definitely a must go if your staying in Venice and looking for good, not overpriced food. read more

Excellent pizza, some of the best we had in Venice! Easy to find, however this place is busy so keep that in mind if you need to eat at a particular time. I personally think it was well worth the wait! read more

Overall it was a excellent meal, with good service and reasonably priced food. Try the tiramisu it's homemade much different than in USA. One star deduction for one dish that was a bit to salty to enjoy but maybe the cook screwed it by mistake. It happens in the best of places. Would go again. Not a tourist trap like most places in Venice. read more

Very traditional and cosy interior. It was very crowded but it makes the place feels very comfortable. We had the pesto shrimp which I thought was very good, and I especially love the tasting dishes the they let us try when we sat down. I thought M made a great choice choosing this place for our romantic night by the canal. read more

Last Saturday week (26th April),I treated my husband to dinner to celebrate his 75th birthday. We chose the Da Mamo and our hotel receptionist booked a table for us. I must say that it was one of the best evenings we have ever enjoyed and in 53 years of marriage we have been to some excellent restaurants all over Europe and America. The staff made us feel like family, "Happy Birthday" was sung and in fact the whole restaurant felt like a family party. The food was excellent and the red wine was very good...... luckily we were not far from our hotel.....only one bridge to manoeuvre....and we made it back to the hotel without incident. I highly recommend this restaurant and strongly advise booking a table. When we return to Venice, we will certainly do so. read more

Had pre-arranged reservations and would highly recommend you do so as the restaurant is quite small. Was given a small starter on the house, what seemed like a mixture of fish in a small pastry shell. It was ok. Ordered the tomato, basil, mozzarella pizza - my son said it was good. Tried a piece, loved the thin crust but found it to be a little too saucy in my opinion - the mozzarella was beautiful. Tried the fried seafood plate which included calamari, shrimp and zucchini lightly coated - it was delicious and highly recommend it. We also ordered the carbonara pasta and enjoyed that as well. I know a few other reviewers marvelled at the tiramisu; my only comment is, this must have been their first time trying it as I have had much better. It was overkill with cocoa powder. Instead would recommend the panna cotta. Finished the meal with a complimentary lemoncella in a chocolate cup. Meal cost about € 95 (with tax and tip) for 3 main dishes, 2 desserts, with a € 25 bottle of ripasso. Overall, would recommend this restaurant for the freshness, quality of the food and service. read more

The waiter seemed to think that we were just using this lovely establishment to just use the restroom. I would've rather paid €1.50 to use the restroom elsewhere than deal with his passive aggressive attitude. We were looking for another minute to view their subpar, overpriced menu when they asked if we planned on ordering. We responded with "we believe so" to which he said "No maybe, we have people waiting." and made us move tables. Thank you for your restroom, your toilet paper was thin. read more

This cute little trattoria is such a great find but I wouldnt have noticed it if it wasnt next to the hotel that I was staying at. You'll see that its a small little restaurant bustling with people especially during the peak lunch and dinner hours, which my sister and I took as a sign to have lunch here. The inside decorior is really warm and inviting, and you get a mix between that romantic and family vibe. It's dimly lit and very poshed, but no AC! At least not when we were there. To start off, they gave us this complimentary little mini cracker thing topped with some tomato sauce which was nice. For our main meal, we ordered the mushroom (funghi..) pizza and carbonara pasta, which were both very good, especially the pizza. They have a huge selection of pizzas to choose from and one thing I noticed from the people around me was the calzones they were serving. Theyre HUGE! I wish I tried this so next time I'm coming back for it. No joke, the calzone looks like a small boat, and very tasty. Even though we were full, they gave us this free dessert thing that had some kind of liquer in a edible mini chocolate cup. The waiter was was nice, but kind of weird too. He knew we were tourists so I think he was having fun trying to mess around and be funny with us. Overall, pleassant dining experience. Come here if you're ever around the neighborhood. read more

Stopped in here for a nice lunch in the middle of a 10 day Euro trip and I'm very happy we did. I went based on reviews and they did not disappoint. The service was impeccable as the team of waiters did not miss a beat on removing dishes and silverware that was unused, refilling waters when our cups ran low and even brought out a complimentary appetizer bite to try. I had a sautéed chicken dish in marinara sauce with melted cheese on top and a side of home made French fries. The chicken and sauce were very fresh and full of flavor. The fries were actually pieces of real potato and not the frozen type we use in the states. Very small place that had a local vibe but definitely worth walking around to find it. A couple at a table next to us ordered a pizza and a calzone so I figured it was good to note that both looked amazingly good! Prices are not expensive at all, of course the current Euro conversion doesn't help the cause but for what you pay, it's a great meal and experience with terrific service. I would certainly recommend it! read more

We didn't have a reservation but we were seated when we arrived. Service was helpful to tourists. Waiters spoke English and menu was in English. Restaurant had usual 12% service charge but no cover charge (most restaurants in Venice charge both). I ordered their Pizza. I forgot it's name but it had sausage with tomato sauce. I ate it all up. They also serve two sets of samplers as well which was nice. read more

We ate here our last day in Venice for lunch and wished we had been there sooner. It was a recommendation by my hotel. I was traveling with my 1 and 3 year old, husband, nanny and my in-laws so a big group. They were great with the kids so really perfect for families. The food was fantastic. We had a mix of salads, pizzas and pastas and everything was great. Would go here again if we returned! read more

Service was prompt but I ordered a steak cooked medium and it came out very rare. The staff didn't seem to care or offer anything other then to be cooked again. They even had me pay full price with no regards to the steak. Don't go on a Monday... read more

I don't like pizza, but the pizza here tastes different than the US. It was super super thin and for 10 euros they give you 12 inches. Good deal to get an app and then a pizza to share. They also give to go boxes in case you can't finish :) read more
