The food is some of the best we have had all over Italy. On our first visit my sister orders the pasta and bean soup because she was not feeling well. I ordered the spaghetti all' amatriciana and we shared the fresh sea bream grilled whole fish with grilled vegetables. It was divine! The service from Nacio and his team was wonderful. At the end of our meal he brought us a small shot of limoncello that was a tart and delicious way to end the meal. We loved it so much we came back for dinner the next night where my sister had the lasagna al forno and I had the spaghetti aglio e oglio with chili peppers. For our second course we had the grilled pork chop with roasted veggies and the Yahay pizza. Everything was delicious and cooked to perfection. This time we ended with the flaming creme brûlée that was creamy deliciousness! Nacio then brought us a digestif that tasted like anise liquor which we loved! We highly recommend trying this place! You will not be disappointed!

And it was wonderful. I had a really authentic and delicious risotto plus a decent dry red wine (sorry, forget the name). It's a local "secret" but unlike other so called secret places, this one is not a tourist trap. Probably a 5 star but I hesitate to do that on one visit while I'm basking in the magic of Venice. My "secret" finding good local eateries is to ask a mature looking resident who might have a few extra pounds and ask for a restaurant. It has never failed from Omaha to Munich, Maranello to Stuttgart, Monaco to lake placid.

Get what's unique and native to Venice. Conveniently located a mere 5 minutes on foot, east-northeast of the San Marco Basilica and Doge's Palace. I believe the dress is smart-casual (A golf shirt or better, gents). There was no Yelp option to note this. Owner can correct me if I'm wrong. :-) -------------- Longer version: -------------- Stopped by for a quiet meal and sat outside. Was greeted, immediately seated, and provided a cover of focaccia and a flat bread of only 1-2mm thick with a tomato/basil consistency. Delightful. Waiter smiled at my attempt at Italian and helped me through the evening with both Italian and English switching. I'm a barbarian and appreciated their patience. Ordered (1) "Sardines in Saor" for my antipasti/appetizer and their take on (2) Duck cutlets for the primi/main course. ***Dessert is unpublished online, but they have Tiramisu, a cheesecake, biscotti con crema, and a (3) chocolate mousse with Limoncello crema on top (I had this). They also have a solid selection of coffees and dessert drinks. (1) If you're adventurous and like a hint of sweet and sour, definitely go for the Sardines in Saor. If you're typically not a big sardine fan, know that they aren't nearly as briney or fishy as they are in oil or salted. Because they were fried in a light flour batter and wrapped up with pine nuts & raisins within a sautéed onion (and refrigerated overnight) it was more mellow and sweet with that slight hint of sardine. Imagine a taste similar to a fried oyster with onion + fig jam. It's served chilled and it's good. Do it. (2) They adjusted the duck's ingredients to go with a creamy cheese/watermelon accompaniment instead of the menu's coffee puree. The sweet & savory combo was perfect for a summer night. It was unique and very good. (3) The milk chocolate mousse with limoncello cream was a nice dish. Small, ideal portion that gives you a taste of the sweet decadence without loading you up with sugar. You'll walk away without feeling stuffed, and you'll know the price was worth it. Enjoy!

Oh my goodness, you should not pass this gem of family owned and operated restaurant. I cannot begin to tell you how many times my companions said "Wow" after taking a bite. Not to be missed items: - bakes lasagna with pork and beef. The creaminess and texture, yum. Every bite was delicious - mixed seafood fried was excellent. We had this at many places throughout Italy, and this was the best execution of it - Duck breast & leg, with coffee puree, cooked perfectly medium rare. Lovely bite - spaghetti vongole (clams), well done. A bit salty for me but I still enjoyed it very much - Creme Brulee, best you've ever had or will enjoy Overall, the best is the personal touch the owner brings to our experience. Before I eat anywhere, I always look in the kitchen and it was clean, organized, and they use an industrial dish washer. The wine glasses are polished. Excellent and curated selection of spirits. The dry aged meats looked tempting as well. The atmosphere is charming and romantic. We saw young couples on dates, intermixed with locals, as well as groups of tourists. You would not be disappointed to take a detour and visit this lovely restaurant. We are so happy this was one of our last meals in Italy, having visted Rome, Amalfi, Serrento, Positano, and finally Venice. P.S. Get thr creme brulee

Date of visit: May 28, 2025…read more The rule for tourist towns such as Venice: Avoid any place that has pictures on the menu outside, folks waving you in, or giant signs outside. Al Garzoti doesn't have any of these things, with their name only appearing inside on the bar. Service is nothing to write home about; our waiter who looked like a young Nick Jonas, minus the charm, barely interacted with us, but the food he brought us was wonderful! If you've already had some pizza while in Italy, then go with a calzone instead. They are large and a great value, too. Note the ingredients first, though; Italians do not like substitutions. I tried a pezzo di pizze with ham and that too, was great!
