First meal in Italy so of course I had to get pasta. We came in around 10:30 and were seated immediately. You can bring your own drinks so we brought sparkling wine and beer. It took awhile for us to get the menu because they only have one paper menu written in English. All of the choices looked good but I opted for the Bigoli pasta. The noodles were Al Dente and thick so it was a real filling dish. The sauce was tomato based and Tate's really fresh. Definitely recommend this dish. I also got to sample the soft lasagna beef bolognes which really was soft but in a great way. All in all this was a great pic and I'm excited or more food read more

Endlessly delicious cicchetti and drinks here. We really loved tasting as much food as we could, and the bartender let us try homemade melon liquor, which was incredible. I highly recommend trying the baccala mantecato and standing outside to enjoy the fresh air and seafood! read more

Always good food and great service . Best to have reservations. We have been many times and always pleased .

This was one of our best meals in Italy. This place is a hidden gem in Mestre, down a little side street it doesn't jump out at you. About 15 minutes before opening the crowds begin to gather, a mix of locals and travelers in the know. We sat outside and ordered a bunch of stuff from the bar display and the kitchen. The selection is overwhelming. We started with a salt cod fritter, olive potatoes and octopus, a cooked seafood platter, artichokes and a half liter of house white. Everything was amazing! We also got an order of lasagna and pasta with anchovy, tomato and pine nuts. A perfect ending to our European adventure. read more

We had the privilege to eat here about 3 weeks ago. We showed up a bit early and didn't have a reservation (I recommend you make a reservation, we decided to try last minute)... and luckily they were able to seat us for a quick dinner, which was perfect for us. We had Bigoli con acciuga broccoli e pangrattato (fresh pasta with broccoli, anchovy and crunchy bread crumbs) and Linguine, mezzo astice, gransoporo e zucchine (fresh linguine, half lobster, crab and zucchini). We also had sardines in saor, it was delicious! The food was amazing and the service was fantastic. We will always come back here when in Venice. Get an Aperol spritz! read more

YEAH. A little hidden in the dark but the bustling crowd outside with their drinks gave way to what would become a really good casual dinner. The very nice people let us in (there were around 3 tables empty and people were a mix of tourist and locals). They had an "English" menu so I guess they have adapted to the increasing tourists visiting. Still food tasted typical Italian and so casual and homey your grandma could've made it. Had the 'tapas' or ciccheti from the menu and there were good. These come fast as they were already made. Only the ones with cured meats were extremely salty but otherwise, they were nice to eat with wine. Burratina or burrata was good and as expected. Creamy inside helped balanced the salt of the olives. The risotto was okay, I wish it was made upon order. Still, we devoured it all. To end it all, the tiramisu was definitely nothing like the ones in the US. Something about the cream they use makes it taste better. Cheap meal in a very casual environment with dim lights, nice people and really cool decoration. read more

oh hell ya! i had quite a few meals in Venice...none of which overly wowed me....i needed my final meal here to make me squeal. i checked michelin, i checked yelp...none if it really helped... i did what i normally don't do...i spoke with the concierge (who we had established a relationship with since we had 20+ rooms booked on 4 separate occasions in the 4 weeks of this excursion. she called ahead and had a table reserved for us. She told me about this spot....and it made me squeal..and then some. We arrived to a huge group of people lingering outside (all locals)...i really wanted to hang with them and just be a part of the this local scene! apparently it was Happy Hour time and it bled into the the streets...(the establishment itself was quite cozy)....the bar area was maybe 15 x 15 we were taken to our table... there were only about 5 4 top tables in the dining section. also very cozy. the English menu was taped to the wall along side our table. it was different from the other menu selections i had seen thus far (this is a good thing)... all i need to say is that we LOVED every bit of food that we put in our mouth...we tasted each other entree's to get a feel of the menu. we started with a bottle of bubbles and had a red with our main (at the servers suggestion)..we told her what we liked and she picked the perfect bottle. she could have given us the priciest one but she selected a $16 bottle (i ended up buying a second bottle to bring home). If you are in the Mestre area of Venice (close to the Mestre train station)...this is a must try! i wish i had more meals here. read more

I really wanted to try classic Venetian seafood cicchetti (finger foods/tapas), so I went here because of the high ratings. It was really cool because if you want the cicchetti behind the counter you just point at what you want. Perfect for sampling Venetian seafood. All the different bites I had were delicious. The scallop and razor clams may have been somewhat light in meat, but they were still tasty. The sweet plump prawn meat was delicious. The cod was good with the olives. And I'm really glad I had the chance to try Venice's most iconic seafood dish, the sardines and onions in sweet sour sauce. Sardines aren't always the best, but the sweet sour sauce is perfect for countering the fishiness of sardines. And the onions were great. I'd get this again. Not to mention they give you a whole bag of good bread. I especially liked the cheesy bread, but the olive bread was great for eating with the fish. Overall, great place for sampling Venetian seafood. Everything I tried was really tasty, and the total bill was fairly cheap, too. read more

Came here after traveling all day and it hit the spot! Located in Mestre which is on the mainland of Venice it was a small restaurant but those are always the best! I got the half lobster with spaghetti with fresh zucchini and capers and you couldn't beat the price! I paid 12€ for my entree and it was so flavorful. And at the end of lunch they gave us two shots of limoncello to enjoy! read more

We've jumped in to Hostaria Vite Rossa on our way from Venice to Padova. It was morning and we wanted to have a breakfast. There was not a breakfast menu but it was not a problem for a chef. He just asked what you would like for your breakfast? Omeletes? Not a problem. Perfect service and very nice place to stay. You can feel relaxed atmosohere and hear soft jazz there. Evenings there are for sure magic. read more

Hostaria Vite Rossa - Coffee americano. Perfect morning. - Bars Near Me - Venezia, VE

An incredible and genuine Italian restaurant. They serve freshly prepared food in a deli style, where you can pick and choose from a counter. Items such as stuffed mushrooms, tomatoes and zucchini, scallops grilled with parmesan and meat dishes. There are also options for vegetarians. The food is fantastic. Freshly made sweet options are also available. The decor of the place is like a bohemian art cafe, with what we though is the owners daughters art and collections on every inch of the walls. read more

Great spot that our Airbnb host recommended to eat at before we were able to check in. Good service, lively and fun atmosphere, and great food - I had the macaroni with sausage, artichokes, and cherry tomatoes in a pesto sauce and would definitely recommend it, while my friend had some very good, fresh mozzarella on her caprese. The cappuccino was maybe a little burnt, or the coffee they used was not the best, so I wouldn't recommend that. But if you're looking for a solid meal rather than a cafe, this is the perfect place! read more

We stayed in the Mestre area of Venice for four days and we had dinner at this place twice. When we first walked up I didn't think would would be able to eat there. Outside were about forty people having wine and spritz and eating "tapas". We walked up anyway and asked at the counter. They quickly found us a table in the small place. After bringing over the "English" menu we ordered a plate of tapas appetizers and a carafe of wine. Then we ordered dinner. Everything was delicious and the service was excellent. The next day instead of ordering the plate of tapas we chose what we wanted at the counter and they brought it to our table. Again the the food was delicious. If in the Mestre area of Venice you need to try this place. read more

Small place but great wine, friendly service and delicious cinchetti!! We wanted to have dinner but unfortunately we didnt have a reservation so the tables were all full!! Great prices as well! Would love to go back next time I'm in Venice! read more

This place definitely seemed like the place to be. We got there right around 5:30, which is when they open for dinner and it was packed. There is standing room outside and by the bar, as well as a few tables. We opted for the traditional venetian tapas as well as the seafood tapas. Both were incredible! Once we were finished eating the waitress asked us to finish our carafe of wine in the bar, as they needed the table for a reservation. We left stuffed and very satisfied. We even planned to return the next evening but found out they close early on Sundays. read more
