They charged me 4.5 Euro for maggiorazione( 12 percent)!! . When I asked the Indian/ Pakstian waiter what is this . He said that this is italy Tax and we dont control that. I told him I am here more than 3 days here and more than 12 days in italy then he changed his statement and said :Sir this is for venice not Italy. So I said base on my experience tax considered in price of food and no separate charge. I ask to talk to his supervisor. He came and he dont know English at all just move the head and agreed with waiter( I dont know italian so I dont know what he told to his supervisor) . So I try to be nice and paid my Bill. So I checked today the meaning and found out this is not Tax at all. Lierrrrrrrrr . The food is not bad but little bit expensive. I gave them this rate to understand dont do again and lie to people!! read more

I'm traveling solo and sat down at 9:50p, right before they close for a quick bite. The food and service was great. They shared a bite sized appetizer and shot of grappa in a chocolate cup. For pizza and a coopa vino rosso del casa I paid 12 euro. It also looked like they took off the 12% service fee. I found it surprising, I've just considered it a "tourist dining tax". I consider it part of my travel expense and budget by eating breakfast/lunch from the grocery store. I left enough tip to buy a beer after work. I appreciated the gesture. Means a lot to me. read more

Great friendly place for a huge pizza for one. Was travelling on my own and I had already encounter a restaurant who do not like solo dinners.. This place isn't.. I had to wait for a table.. But I walked around the shops and returned.. The server was lovely he remembered me and made sure when I returned I didn't have long to wait for a table.. The ambience was lovely.. And apothecary pizza cane highly recommended.. I loved my Gorgonzola with speck and it was delicious.. Note.. They don't serve tap water so you have to buy bottled filtered water.. The dinner ended with a chocolate cup filled with alcohol so tread with caution. Paid €12 for a pizza and water.. Not bad for a dinner read more

I've been coming to this restaurant every year for more than ten years. They've changed the menu through the years, but they have always had pizza, pasta an fish dishes as well as appetizers . This restaurant has usually been fully booked So it wise to make reservations due to it's popularity I was able to make reservations on' The Fork/trip advisor. I've had their tuna with sesame seeds and tomatoes which was quite good , mixed salad. Tonight , I'm having their pizza which is usually quite good. read more

Clearly the Indian wait staff is internet savvy and likes to make positive yelp reviews for themselves and the food. The cold dry chalky bread which we had to ask for when the table next to us that ordered one minute before us was given theirs tasted like it was shipped over from a factory somewhere hundreds of miles away. The scallops weren't trimmed properly. There were only two minuscule pieces of cuttle fish in my cuttle fish pasta and my companions pasta dish tasted like it came out of a box and was seasoned with only chicken base/bullion. Get away from the tourist area and find someplace that's worth your money and will actually deliver a pleasant dining experience. This place deserves zero stars. read more

Da Mamo - This dead pigeon would taste better than the food here - Italian Near Me - Venezia, VE

This was a great place with some extra surprises. It was small and crowded but that's understandable. It was some of the best service we received in any restaurant in Europe. They started with some complimentary, flakey pastry with a tasty sauce in the middle. I have no idea what it was but it was yummy. Then for food, my family got pizzas and I got the Spaghetti Carbonara. The Diavola pizza was described as having "spicy ham." It looked a lot like a pepperoni pizza but boy was it spicy! It was good but a little too spicy for my family. The Carbornara appeared rather small but with good reason. It was delicious and rich that I couldn't eat any more had the serving been bigger. After the food, the kids were given free chocolates and my wife and I were served little complimentary shots of some liqueur in chocolate shot glasses. All in all, a great dining experience. read more

3.5 stars - we walked by this place when looking for an idea of where to go to dinner after our original plan fell through. We sat down quickly despite it being very busy but were at a very inconvenienced table right next to the door. The food was really good (Carbonara and Chicken dish) but the atmosphere was a little frustrating. Children were continually running in and out of the door, letting in the very cold air from outside. The waitstaff was kind but a little quirky, seemingly lingering and causing us to feel a little awkward. The chocolate liquor in the chocolate cups was a great addition though! It was also nice to have bread included in a meal for once. read more

We had made reservations before coming to Venice for this restaurant, and we were glad we did. The restaurant filled up quickly. We were warmly greeted by Shupique, who took excellent care of us. He immediately brought us an amuse bouche of a puff pastry with onion. We wanted a lighter dinner, so we ordered pizza. We had one with mushrooms €8 and one with four cheeses €10. The pizzas in Italy overflow the plate - the crust is so thin and the ingredients so fresh! We shared a very drinkable bottle of their house red wine €19, water €2.50, and an expresso € 2.50. Our total bill was € 47.04 including the 12% service charge, which was €5.04 for the two of us. We were surprised to receive complimentary glasses of Limoncello to finish our meal - such a nice touch. This is one of the few restaurants in Venice where we saw a service charge of 12% automatically added to the bill. Please do not let this deter you from coming to this restaurant! When you think about it, it is not much different from paying a 2-5 € per person service/cover charge that is charged throughout Venice. read more

It was a good place except 12% extra charge for taxes+service. Service was not that good enough compare to any other restaurants in Italy. venice is the last place for us in Italy, so we can compare it to any other restaurants in Italy. Pizza is good in this restaurant, but the cuttlefish ink pasta is too simple. I can rarely see any seafood pieces. Looks like just a handful of noodles with black sauce. It tastes ok. The cuttlefish pasta at Trattoria dal Billy in Manarola, Cinque Terre is way way way better. Full of seafoods and better sauce. Seafood fry dish is very expensive here, €18. Tastes just ok. This is the only place where asked extra 12% charges. We traveled Cinque Terre, Pisa, Florence, Rome, and many cities of France. We were not asked to pay extra 12%. In Rome, at Alessio restaurant near Termini, a male server asked us to give him a tip. We always order a bottle of water and wine with a lot of food though. Anyway pizza was good. We've never tried pizza in the restaurant. Today we are going to pick up some pizza from Antico Forno, then we can compare. read more

Came here after seeing the reviews and pictures on yelp, but was very disappointed... I wonder if it's a change in management or that the current menu just isn't quite as splendid because of the seasonal ingredients. Ingredients for pizza were canned and made the center soggy. Had a better slice for 3€ down the street :/ Also there is a 12% cover charge to be aware of. Plus side: air conditioning and wifi read more

Got lost by the realtor bridge and stumbled in here and it seemed like a decent place waited for 16 minutes before our party of three was seated, not bad! Ordered the Spicy salami and peppers pizza - little salty but soooo good!! Would definitely order the prosciutto crudo pizza next time Cuttlefish and black ink spaghetti - it's pretty decent more hype than delicious Carbonara with bacon - so delicious noodles thick and definitely aldente Black and white with melon and sausage- - it's sweet and savory mix if you like that Overall good place for pizza, I would not consider anything else read more

3.5 solid stars. We arrived around 8pm, and waited for about 30 minutes before we were seated. Yes, overhyped...I didn't even think this place was that great. At least there is WiFi in the restaurant! Ordered: Ravioli con ricotta e crema di,funghi: 3/5 Eh, it was al dente and just OK; nothing special Mushroom and sausage pizza: 3.5/5 good, but also not the greatest Venetian pizza: 3/5 Okay, overall They do give you a chocolate shot at the end of your meal. Pretty good! Tourist trap--a bit pricey and I would definitely skip it. read more

This restaurant was excellent. We were a party of 8, and everyone raved about their food. The staff is amazing and very friendly... we will definitely be back. Thank you Da Mamo for a wonderful evening read more

We had an excellent lunch at Da Mamo. The location is great and will lead you by some old churches and is directly across from the Devil's Pub if you want to hit that later. I had a nice salad that was very large and so good that I was scraping the bowl with my fork at the end. One couple shared a carbanara pasta dish and said it was delicious. So, all in all a pretty great experience. Oh... and let's not forget the amazing after dinner treat of a liquor in an edible chocolate cup. read more

Excellent service and delicious food. We made a reservation and were 30 minutes late and they still accommodated us. Waiters were really friendly, funny and attentive. We ordered a pizza, spaghetti carbonara, pesto pasta and burrata with mixed veges. All excellent and the pasta were perfectly cooked. The burrata was super creamy and worked really well with the veges. We ended our meal with tiramisu, which was excellent as well. I also highly recommend ordering the bellini to drink. Very refreshing drink. The atmosphere was very cozy and romantic. Highly recommended eating here. read more

Just married in Ravello and we have toured Italy. I love pizza and have tried pizza in Naples, Paris, Amsterdam, Rome, Ravello, Murano and now Venice and the best was a close call but Mimi's in Ravello but very closely behind is Da Mamo!!!! I had the truffle pizza and as bias as I am toward anything truffle, I have experienced more wrong than right, but this place nailed it!!!! And the pasta is legit!!!!!! Definitely a must try, but get there as soon as they open up because it is small and popular! read more

My husband and I tried this place based on the positive online reviews and the fact is was very near our hotel. We went there on a Tuesday night around 8.30 without reservations, and the place was busy and crowded (nice, vibrant atmosphere though!), but thanks to a couple of early diners who'd just left, we were able to get a nice table for two near the window. The waiters were very friendly and attentive, our starters (pasta with scampi and seafood / gnocci with scampi) tasted great, and the portions were so generous we were actually hoping our pizzas would be on the small side. They were not, however: two large, thin, delicious pizzas with - again - very generous toppings (more scampi and sea food for my husband, buffalo mozzarella with parma ham, zucchini and mushrooms for me). After such copious amounts of delicious Italian food, I only had room left for a cappuccino, but my husband bravely battled his way through a large portion of fresh, home-made tiramisù (minus one bite, I admit). When we asked for the bill, we were pleasantly surprised twice more: first by two tiny dark chocolate cups filled with a pistachio liqueur, and then by the bill itself which was significantly lower than we had expected, mainly due to the drinks (water, house wine and my cappuccino) being very reasonably priced compared to other places. I think we may have discovered the exact opposite of a tourist trap! read more

Da Mamo - Delicious food, friendly service, reasonable prices! - Italian Near Me - Venezia, VE

I'm going to go ahead and give this place 5 stars, for the following reasons: Service - quick, efficient, and with a little humor and style. If you've eaten in Venice, you know these traits are more the exception than the norm. The staff are all like a little family and banter and bicker - kinda fun. Atmosphere - warm, comfortable, a little tight but not crammed. A good vibe. Food - good menu, great little extras that add up (like little quarter sized appetizer pastries with red pepper cream sauce, and little chocolate shot glasses with banana creme liquor that come with the bill), and solid entrees. My wife got the pesto pasta and I got the pasta carbonara - both were sized perfect and tasted great. Value - this was a big one - the best value we've had thus far in Venice. 40 euros out the door for two dinners, non-alcoholic drinks, tip and tax. Our advice - make a reservation for dinner or show up exactly at 7pm when they open for dinner. 7:10pm and you'll have an hour wait. Finding it isn't hard - on the SE side of the Rialto bridge you'll see San Bartolomeo square. It's just off the square down one of the little alleys, right behind the Disney store. read more

I got there with my girlfriend, we didn't have a reservation. We got the ugly table by the umbrella stand. Immediately after a customer left, the waiter asked us if we wanted to move. Very nice and friendly staff! The meal was excellent! I ate the pizza with mushrooms and truffle oil. Unbelievable! Totally recommended! Price was great for the service and food! Check this restaurant if you got the chance! PD: I checked out the others people dishes. They looked great! read more

Amazing place! We ran into it by accident and I am so glad we did. I had the Ariete pizza which was absolutely delicious and my mom had the chicken which was mama Mia! The service was excellent, very nice people. We will probably come back again tomorrow! read more

We chose Da Mamo on the strength of the Yelp reviews and proximity to where we expected to be. We were further encouraged by the arrival of a phalanx of polizia locale - good to eat where the cops do. We had a decent enough experience at Da Mamo - so you can go and have an enjoyable meal. Let's start with the positive. We had an octopus salad that was a nice twist on the traditional salad Nicoise. My gnocchi with scallops and mushrooms was well done with a hint of lemon mixing with the fish oil. The bill came with a shot of melon liqueur. My wife's linguine with pesto sauce was just average - the pasta did not seem particularly fresh and the pesto was plain. We did not bother with the commercial looking bread. The service was timely, if not particularly friendly or attentive. There is a large menu of mostly pizza, but enough variety to satisfy most tastes. Da Mamo is touristy. I do not hold that as a negative, just no expectations of a local experience. If you go, definitely call ahead to book a table. Although you will probably have a good meal, there are better places around in the same class. read more

My husband and I stumbled across this place at 10pm after watching The Four Seasons symphony. The place seemed to be packed with locals so that's why we wanted to check out the place. We ordered the pizza with veggies and ham. I ordered the carbonara and it was a bit disappointment. Visiting from the states I always thought Carbonara should not look like scrambled eggs but it did. Maybe it's the Italian style? Overall I give this place 3 stars because the service had an impact on my review. One of the waiters was not so pleasant and he was trying to rush us out as we paid our bill. My waiter with the white trimmed glasses was really nice though. I would definitely come back for the pizza. Oh and one more thing.. We were given two shots of chocolate mixed with rum/alcohol in a chocolate cup. It was delicious! The bathrooms were clean however the women's toilet was really low to the ground. Gotta squat ladies! read more

This was our first meal in Venice and it was very memorable. We ordered Bruschetta for appetizer and it was extremely fresh, the olive oil was strong and flavorful. For first courses we had pasta with cuttlefish ink and pesto pasta with beans and shrimp. The pasta was al dente and bursting with flavor. For second course we shared seafood mix with polenta. Finally, not to be outdone, the desserts were out of this world. On the house, all guests also received a small appetizer and lemoncello in a chocolate cup. I definitely recommend this place while in Venice. If you don't have a reservation, arrive when they open. The place is small and was packed within minutes of opening. read more

This could possibly be the best pizza I've ever had... and I didn't even order it! On a very rainy evening, we headed out in hope of a great meal. I had read good things on Yelp and this was our very last dinner in Italy, so I hoped it was going to be good one. Also being our last meal, I had to go out with a pasta dish, because let's be honest, that was all I ever wanted to order. I'm not a pizza hater by any means, I just like pasta better. So my hubby ordered the pizza gemini (they have pizza's named based off the zodiac), which is ham, gorgonzola, red sauce and pinneapple. I ordered the carbonara. While the carbonara was good, once I tried a slice of my hubbys pizza, I realized I had chosen wrong. It was incredible. Best meal of the whole Italian trip. Maybe. Close. And I proceeded to eat the rest of his pizza. No lie. But I loved everything about the experience, from the tiny tomato appetizer they serve you complimentary, to the hole in a wall atmosphere, to the excellent house wine. We took full advantage of our last night. To end the trip, we had to get what dessert Venice is known for.. the tiramisu. It was different than I'd ever had before, thinner, but still fantastic tasting. It was soaked with espresso and more wafer like than a cake like tiramisu I've had in the US. Wonderful experience and best pizza ever! read more

We ate here at the end of my trip between Venice and Florence, and this may have been my favorite pizza in Italy. It was extremely flavorful and delicious - the flavors seemed amped up a bit from the other pizzas we had. We had the Ariete and Vegetable pizzas, a salad and dessert. Casual atmosphere, great variety in the menu, middle of the road prices, and a very yummy desert of the lemon gelee meringue. read more

WOW! Truly an unforgettable dinning experience. My husband and I went here for honeymoon in June 2013 and I still can't get this meal out of my head! We were walking around the city and experiencing all of the wonderful history. We wanted to find a restaurant that really caught our eye and was local. Since yelp isn't very well know out there, we had little to go off of...so instead we found the restaurant that had the longest line! We passed up plenty of others until we went down an ally way, poked our heads in here and KNEW it was "the one". The atmosphere is spectacular, the employees are knowledgeable and extremely nice! We didn't know any Italian, and they were still very kind to us and told us exactly what to get. My dad, being an Italian chef has made some pretty incredible dishes in his lifetime, so when it comes to Italian food, I feel like I know "what's up". We ordered Bruschetta that was wonderful. Fresh basil, olive oil, and the most flavorable tomatoes. We both ordered pizza; I got the truffle mushroom pizza that was literally the best dish I have ever had in my entire life! They did not skimp on the truffle oil...and ate the entire pie with my knife and fork. Mmm. My husband got the anchovy pizza which he said was the best he has ever had. I'll take his word on that one. We drank delicious local wines, had amazing conversations with other people sitting close by, and was given a complementary dessert shot. Absolutely, hands down the best meal I have had since being born! If we ever get the chance to travel here again, this will be our first stop! I promise this place will not disappoint... we were also seated almost immediately! We felt like celebrities here and were treated like family...Oh how I dream of this place. read more

I ate lunch at Da Mamo Trattoria Pizzeria in Venice, Italy on 3 July 2015. It was my 1st time there. I had their Da Mamo pizza (14.00 Euros) plus water and a Coke so my total bill was 22.68 Euros. Best to make reservations as I was turned down the day before because it was booked. 15 minutes after I was there at opening it was full as well. One of the best pizza's I've ever had. Plus, I took photos. read more

The food here is good and the service is good, but we felt like we were packed in there like sardines. It's a little difficult to enjoy a meal, no matter how good, when you are only inches away from the people sitting next to you. Anyhow, if you are there, starving and tired of walking around, then go ahead and have your meal there. It'll still be good. But plan ahead a little better next time and you won't have to eat your dinner as if you were in a closet. read more

This place was amazing! A little tricky to find, but what in Venice isn't? The seafood spaghetti was fantastic, and my wife loved her pizza.

If you are looking for a good pizza in Venezia, Da Mamo is a good choice. The restaurant was recommended by a friend who is one of the few residents of Venezia. (There are only 57,000). We went to Da Mamo during lunchtime. Although we were a bit early it was already crowded. There was a nice mix of locals and tourists. The service was quick and attentive. We both ordered pizza's. When they arrived, they covered the table for two. Both were well prepared and tasty. Prices are reasonable. read more

Very, very good pasta in Venice but touristy and slow. We stumbled upon Da Mamo by accident and headed here before opening. Quickly, a line started forming and people started pushing their way in when they opened. Reserve ahead of time so you don't need to deal with the rush. We quickly looked over the menu and got our order in before everyone, so we expected that we would be able to get out earlier. Indeed, our pastas came out extremely quick. They were delicious -- the seafood pasta had plenty of mussels, clams, calamari and fish (a little tough) and the flavor was great. The gnocchi also came out delicious. They were bigger in chunks and perfectly tender. Both pastas came out piping hot, which is something you hardly get in America. After our pastas, there was a long wait time for our second entree and salad. The kitchen was being bombarded with everyone's first orders. Eventually, we did get our delicious fish dish and our big mixed salad (which was the best mixed salad we had in Venice). The greens were fresh, corn was crisp, and I could have drank their olive oil. In Italy, your "salad dressing" is literally fresh pepper, balsamic and olive oil. When I was starting to get sick of pasta, I started craving their mixed salad. Finally, our dessert was a little disappointing for the 8 euro price point. We received a small apple tart that came with ice cream. It was OK, and had a bit too much of the orange flavoring. You'll have to call on the waiters a bit to get your dessert menu and things cleared when it's busy, but overall it's a nice sit down with a romantic dark lit ambiance...the pasta is of great quality. read more

Wow! The best pizza I've ever had. Do yourself a favor and make a reservation or show up right when they open the doors because they fill up fast. The place is located in a heavily trafficked location as it is a throughway between Rialto Bridge and San Marco. As most restaurants in Italy the place is very small but the food comes out fairly quickly and it ridiculously delicious. Even the carbonara was amazing. I would highly recommend this place to anyone going to Venice. It's very crowded, very loud, the service isn't the friendliest but you will eat very well. I highly recommend the sausage and pepper pizza. read more
