All in all, we experienced good prices, decent food and attentive service, which made us feel welcome. When seated close to the window, the view on the harbour is quite nice. On the day of our visit the place was almost empty, due to the off-season, but we'd definitely recommend hopping in for a traditional pizza. Its nothing to be blown away by, but Price/Value is on top!
This is a small place on the little-known island of Chioggia in the Veneto region. It is known as…read morethe "Little Venice" and there are many small places like this one serving fresh seafood. The only thing I can comment on is the appetizer because that's all I had. I tried the sea scallops along with a local Veneto white wine and it was good. Service was adequate and ambiance was ok. The real ambiance is Chioggia with its Venice-like feel and small bridges spanning canals. I came more for the views than for the food and it was mid-day so I wasn't ready for a full meal. This was the only place I ate so you have to take this review in a vacuum. I could give more perspective if I tried a few other places in the area.

We found this little gem on our last day in Venice and I wish we'd wandered past it sooner! They had great food, cheap drinks, and friendly service along with wifi. Since it was lunch time we sat outside. The premade sandwiches started at 3 euro and a huge menu with reasonable prices. MiTi is also vegetarian and glutten-free friendly. The owner was super friendly and spoke English. She even put up with our attempts to order in Italian. MiTi is a five min walk from the train station, but situated far enough off the main road that you have to search for it. It's worth the hunt. If I'm ever back in Venice MiTi will be the first place I visit.
Skip the Hard Rock Café in Venice. (Why is it mandatory now for every popular tourist spot in the…read moreworld to have a Hard Rock Café?) Go to Sangal instead. This is a trendy, classy, romantic place to have drinks and a great dinner in Venice. We first visited Sangal for nightcaps on the advice of a local and were so impressed we went back for dinner the next night. It's a contemporary-style restaurant and lounge bar with a great rooftop terrace. It's located in a square called Campo San Gallo at the very end of a side alley and over a stone bridge off the Piazza San Marco. I had ravioli stuffed with goat cheese, seafood, and asparagus tips for an entrée, and tiramisu for dessert (homemade, of course). Yum. Yes, it was rather expensive (over €100 for two courses for the two of us plus a bottle of wine), but Venice is an expensive city. It was also less expensive than many of the places directly off St. Mark's Square. And you can't beat the atmosphere.

The fish comes from the Laguna located next door from the restaurant. We ordered a starter of "polpe con insalata di patate" which translates to octopus and potato salad. The octopus and potatoes were cooked to perfection and were accompanied with a delicious sauce. As our main dishes we ordered a "Frittura Mista" which is fried seafood and "Tagliatelle con Scampi" which was pasta with shrimps. The fried seafood came with a variety of fish and was genuinely tasty. The tagliatelle with scampi came with a delicious tomato sauce and was topped with three giant shrimps still hot from the kitchen, it was truly a flavour explosion. If you get the opportunity to come to Chioggia and visit this remarkable village I strongly advise you to come to this Osteria and try the food for yourself.
