    Not bad! I liked Farini for quick bites in town! The lines are usually not too long. And you can grab and go easily if you'd like. Don't have to sit around and wait. The pizza or lasagna is done in a couple minutes and you are good to go! The pizza is decent. It's not spectacular, but it's fine. It isn't bad pizza either. This was our go to for quick food when we didn't wanna do a formal restaurant.

    Finding pizza by the slice is harder than it looks on TikTok! My wife and I had looked everywhere for some good, quick pizza to eat while we walked around the city and stumbled across this excellent place. Right on the beaten path, excellent atmosphere, service and food. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a quick bite. The zucchini pizza was incredible!

    We were starving and wanted something quick and easy so we figured pizza it is! Not to many places to sit because it was pretty packed, but we were lucky to find a long table towards the back of the room and we could people watch while we ate. The pizza was good, but not to impressed with how it looked. It looked like they basically cut long slices of the zucchini and laid it on the dough and threw it into the oven to cook. Pretty lazy to me, but I have to admit, it tasted good or maybe because I was starving. The restroom was a hot mess. I had to tell one of the workers that it needed to be clean. It was VERY disgusting.

    At the corner of Calle de la fava this standing room only pizzeria is just what you are looking for after the train ride and boat taxi. The pizza is fresh Roman style with a crispy bottom and fluffy airy internal structure. The slightly burnt note adds to the authenticity of the flavor profile. An aperol and vodka lemon spritz were nice accouterments. Bellisima!

    We had to try this even though we were not hungry. 4.50 euros for a slice and I prefer this pizza than all other restaurants we've tried in Florence and Venice. The dough is airy and the bacon are cut big! A budget friendly place!

    Solid place for breakfast. Delicious pastries and savory options too. Great service and lots of ambiance. Wished we'd made it back for pizza- next time!

    We really enjoyed their zucchini pizzas! Their meat pizzas were okay, I would probably skip those and go for veggie options.

    Just standard cafe in Italy. Nothing special compared to the other places. Your downstair ones could be better. Tried coffee and 3 croissant flavors. Coffee's standard and croissant's too sweet. Also everything is cold because it's popular and they made a lot in advance. Not worthy to come here if you are far away. Had some seats indoor but maybe difficult to find when it's busy

    The best pizza I have ever had. There is nothing more that needs to be said, but yelp makes me do 85 characters

    Solid place for pizza by the slice and basic sandwiches. They're on a busy plaza corner so expect them to be crowded. There's lots of indoor seating but it fills fast, especially because there is no outdoor seating. A single slice costs €4 as of October 2023. That slice is about 1/4 of a pizza and will be cut into three slices. They're really pretty good pizzas and a value for being so cheap. Staff is friendly and does speak English.

    Farini is a solid spot to grab a quick and delicious bite while on your way through Venice. I wound up coming back three separate times. I enjoyed it so much that I wanted to try as much of their menu as possible! My favorite item is the Crudo Prosciutto & Sott'olio Focaccia, which seems to sell out pretty quickly since I was only able to get it on one occasion. They also have a nice Cotto & Bufala Focaccia and several types of fresh croissants with either creme or fruit that are out of this world. If I lived in Venice, I would probably be here every day.

    7/3/23 - one of the best pizza I had. Light and fluffy crust. Many toppings to choose from. Limited seating inside. The sandwiches were the bomb as well. Huge portions. Near the Rialto. Try it. See photos.

    Cute cafe that has lots of variety for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or snacks!! Located close to St. Mark's Square which makes it easier to navigate to (you know how Venice roads can be tricky). Breakfast they provide pastries, lasagna, various types of coffee (cappuccino my fav), and breakfast sandwiches. For lunch/dinner/snack, they have pasta, lasagna, pizza, and salads! It is affordable and quick! Be aware that it can get busy in the morning, but the line moves fast. Need to show green pass to dine in!

    They have desserts too!

    Hands down the best pizza we had in Venice. A must stop. I also loved the modern decor.

    Tried a slice of pizza and Greek salad. Loved both the meals and they were very filling. Good place to do a takeout in Venice.

    Lots and lots of restaurants to choose from in Venice but this unassuming restaurant is a true gem…read more It's easy to miss as it's tucked in a corner right by a bridge. Once inside they have a couple tables with small window views of any gondolas passing by. We started off with a plate of lightly fried sardines topped with pickled white onions. The fry on the fish was super light and those vinegar-y onions were the perfect pairing. We cleaned that plate. The lasagna was well balanced with the meat, sauce, cheese. The squid ink pasta was chewy/al dente with a subtle touch of seafood flavors giving the cuttlefish. It was very umami but nothing too overbearing. Delicious! It's a Family business that was been around for many years. Grazie to the friendly staff and chef!

    I am so sad to give this restaurant such a poor rating after visiting many times during the last 20…read moreyears and loving it before. The jovial mood with the waiters with big personalities is gone. The menu you can find online is no longer available so you get a very limited menu to choose from--nearly entirely seafood. So if you have anyone in your party that just wants pasta with a red meat sauce or a non seafood lasagne, not available. We were a party of 8. Two people ordered the scallop appetizers. Pretty presentation on shells. 3 tiny scallops in the shells. More like an amuse bouche. Totally disappointing. The linguine with clams as an entree had clams so small you almost needed a magnifying glass to see them. Couldn't taste the clams and annoying to try to eat something so tiny , and just try to eat the pasta with all those tiny shells. The baby shrimp on polenta was actually good. But again the shrimp were like tiny hatchlings tempura battered. Tasted okay except for those that were soggy from the polenta that was very soupy. I wanted the gnocchi with crab which was on the very limited menu but no longer available. The alternative was gnocchi with a sea bass sauce which I chose but didn't like at all. The gnocchi were good but the sauce wasn't at all for me. We had to continue to ask for side dishes for the bread, butter, olive oil, salt and pepper. We will not return. Poor value for your money. Plus there is a cover charge and service included in your bill which was a surprise. Very sad to see our favorite Venetian restaurant decline so much.
