The BEST dinner we've had in Venice!!! The service was amazing, the waiters were so attentive! We had the best salad and ravioli.

First of all the menu is in several languages which is absolutely wonderful. The service was very good and the food was outstanding. The pizza may have come from premade dough but it was still delicious. The pasta dish, small but very tasty. We also had salads which were fresh and delicious. The only thing that was off was the fact that they didn't waste anything, if you didn't drink your bottle of water or wine they incorporated them into other containers to be reused, not good....the bread they served was so stale I would wonder if they recycled bread too. read more

Catarina was an amazing help to us when we walked by, lost in Venice. We came back for dinner and Manuela waited on us. Best food and service we have had anywhere in Venice. The chef came by to make sure the food was excellent. Best restaurant in Venice with the most personalized service! read more

One of my greatest Yelp Joys in Life is giving a solid, everything was good about this place review. Truly, easy to write, rolls off my fingers, just happens for me. Osteria Al Pozzo Roverso is one of those reviews. If you want to save time, just know this: there is nothing negative in this review. Move on if you are in a hurry. Osteria Al Pozzo Roverso was a place we stumbled upon one afternoon when having a little grumble in our tummies for some yum yum. Stopped it, seated quickly outdoors with a lovely and very attentive waiter. Menus offered English. Both picked lovely pasta dishes that we both absolutely ended up loving. We have to be honest and say this was a water / tea meal but their wine list looked extensive and lovely! Wish we would have gone back to check it out. Prices were touristic and the food made it worth every dime. read more

The food is not only beautiful but delicious. The owner was so kind and helped us select the most delicious gluten free meals. The service was so professional. The atmosphere was so nice with friendly staff and beautiful decor. If you're in Venice, you have to come here. read more

After walking for like it seemed like miles and miles, we came across this restaurant in one of the many alleys in Venice. I have a love and hate relationship with those "Tourist Menu" sometimes they are good, and sometimes they are mot. You basically get pasta or soup, a meat of some kind, and a side which is mostly veggies or a side of salad. I love soup and salad, but I have yet to find that here without having to order full sizes and pay $10 euros for a soup and $9+ for a green salad. I opted for one of those menus today, they way in price depending on where you are. Here, it was $18 on the high side, this one didn't include drink or dessert, sometimes they do. This restaurant was close to Palazzo Ducalle which is a heavy tourist area. I got a bean soup which was very good. And I got fries calamari with roasted veggies. The calamari tasted fishy, I barely touched it. Veggies were also good. Service was slower than usual, even for Italy. I think there was only one server. We even had to go searching for him to get our bill when a party of four sat next to us and started smoking. Not a bad place though, hubby loved his pizza. read more

Most expensive and worst meal I've had not just on our trip but in a very long time. Pretty sure they were reusing the bread baskets. DO NOT EAT HERE. read more

Of three weeks in Italy - this place tops the list for the best house red wine! Unfortunately, I didn't realize it was going to be the best, until I was let down by several other restaurants later, so I didn't have the opportunity to ask what it was. [Any Yelpers that can help me figure it out would be greatly appreciated!] Food was really good. I ordered the fried calamari, because I was told by some that Venice has the best calamari. It was good, tasted fresh, but I wasn't blown away. My dad ordered the meat lasagna and when the trip was over, rated it the BEST meal in Venice. My mom got the four cheese gnocchi - I loved it and so did she. It did have a strong bleu cheese flavor, which I liked and was quite surprised that she liked it so much because she doesn't like bleu cheese. I would have loved to try more of what this restaurant had to offer! read more

We started with simply wanting to enjoy a good bottle of wine while learning our way around Venice near our hotel, but decided magiamo was the order. We eat and wow was it amazing. My wife had the fresh pasta with crab served beautifully using the carapace to have the pasta flow out of it. For me I've been dying to have squid ink pasta and they have cuddlefish with black ink pasta. All I'm going to say is come by and sit out in the Calle and enjoy some GREAT food and make some new friends. We WILL be back before leaving. read more

II had the most delicious dinner ever at the Osteria ai Do Pozzi restaurant in Venice. Fairly small outdoor restaurant, the small piazza that it occupies isn't particularly scenic, but I think the food is worth it. I had the Pesto Genovese with pine nuts. Yum! I could not find a website, but they do have a Facebook page, if you lookup the cafe by name. Sestiere Castello 2613 campo do pozzi, Venice, Italy read more

We had three wonderful dinners at this delightful and friendly place. The host, Gianfiero, makes you feel like family. Above all, the food is first rate and the service is excellent. Highly recommended. Lou and Danny, Connecticut read more

After being completely lost in the streets of Rome, far away from the grand canal, we found this hidden gem of a place (yes entire Venice is filled with restaurants) but after looking at menus for 45 minutes, we decided on this and it was the best food we had in Venice. The crab gnocchi served in a tea king crab shell, calamari and the fish were all delish..!! read more

Freakin' Venice, Italy man! Come on! How do you think it tasted? Freakin' FANTASTICO!!! I was blown away! My wife and I spent most of our Italian vacation in Rome, however, my wife is smart and kind enough, to sneak in a hotel sleep over, in Venice Freakin' Italy! A fast, I mean Fast, three hour train ride and then you're there. Beautiful canals! We only spent two days and one night in Venezia, however, it's more than ample time to enjoy some mind blowing meals. This is where we went for our romantic Friday night dinner. It was the first week of Sept. and there was a very light rain. So sexy! We (my wife) ordered carpaccio and calamari for appetizers. My wife chose gnocchi for an entree and I selected lasagna. Of course we shared everything with each other. We both got lucky that night! Wow!!! Good times! You'll love it! Very affordable. Outstanding, authentic, and quality Italian food for everyone. read more

Pleasant service, nice flavors and affordable prices. We had pasta with clams and lobster with sea food. Along with some wine ended in 50 euro. I recommend a visit read more

This restaurant was in the quiet, pretty little square our Venice apartment was located in. As it was late and we were hungry - we decided just to stay and eat. BEST DECISION EVER The food was nothing short of spectacular. Our party of six tried most of the main courses and they were all delicious. We were served a starting spritzer which was a fun surprise. The homemade pasta is amazing. I can't say enough about the pasta with vegetables. Our party also particularly enjoyed the mussels and the gnocchi. I also have to mention the vegetable soup - you think oh, vegetable soup - but it was so good it literally put a tear in my eye - my sister had the same reaction. We ended with a few shared desserts and THEN they brought out a wonderful Lemonchello with lemon cookies. It's a good thing our apartment was three steps away. The staff were all super friendly, had plenty of time for our questions and were spot on with their recommendations. They even graciously walked us across the square with their umbrellas when it started to rain as we were leaving. I can only hope to go back one day! https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g187870-d1597688-r380981339-Osteria_al_Pozzo_Roverso-Venice_Veneto.html# read more

Osteria Al Pozzo Roverso is always one of our first stops in Venice. It is comfortable and cozy inside and offers private outdoor seating in the back courtyard. Tiziano and Andrea are extremely attentive, hospitable, friendly and kind. The service is as outstanding as the food. I have never been served a meal there that was not memorable. I highly recommend Osteria Al Pozzo Roverso. read more

We found this place while doing laundry next door. The staff is amazing and the food is okay. The pizza was overcooked by about 2 minutes making the crust too hard. The 4 cheese gnocchi was really good and unique based on what I'm used to eating. read more

Lovely spot just outside the crazy tourist area. We went back twice! Seafood medley appetizer was my favorite. Andre was a great souschef and conversationalist. read more

Popped in for a quick drink. Two of the spritz, water and surcharge later it was 15€. The staff work hard to get you in, but it's overpriced in my opinion. There's better nearby. read more

We decided to get off the beaten path and away from the crowds and found this place for lunch. From the walkway it looked like a nice place and the menu and prices looked good so we went in. We had no idea it had outside seating in the back in a courtyard like area where we were seated. The food and service was very good. Out of our party of 5, 3 had pasta, 2 had salads and we all enjoyed our dishes. read more

Stopped in for some drinks and oysters as I was waiting for my wife to get her hair done. Oysters were fresh and delicious and service was solid. read more

Very friendly staff. Outdoor and indoor seating. The food was quite good with most but not all meals having a seafood theme. Maybe slightly more expensive than others nearby but well within reason for the quality. read more

We took a chance. Usually we don't eat anywhere that the menu is translated into three or more languages as that is a yellow flag but we decided to chance it. The owner was awesome. Sat us and brought us complementary local drinks. The meal was delicious, the waitstaff incredible. I am considering returning for a second night and I never do that. read more

After seeing the other reviews we had high hopes for this place. Unfortunately it did not live up to our expectations. The bread was harder than rock and that's when it started the quick drop down hill. The lasagna was heated up in the microwave which tasted just as good as a microwaveable meal. Also there was no flavor in my vegetable with noodles. The noodles did seem to be home made so that was good. Would not recommend. read more

This restaurant was the best place we went in all of Venice. The staff was amazing. We sat outside, which was nice because the restaurant isn't on a main walkway. We got the caprese salad to start, soooo good! Then I got the four cheese gnocchi and my husband got a spaghetti dish. The wine selection was great, we got a bottle of Chianti! We just sat and enjoyed the view and the staff came by often to make sure we were doing ok. They had Wifi, which was really nice after walking around all day. When we were leaving they gave us complementary limoncello shots, which was just so sweet it made our day! Thank you! read more
