    Aperol spritz
    Amy K.

    We saw this place our first day in Venice, and we ended up passing by it several times on our way going around town so we decided to get dinner here the next night. Unfortunately, we didn't take down the name of the place so we couldn't find it LOL so we wandered around again trying to see if we would end up finding it. Luckily, we did. Ended up getting my first aperol spritz (meh...overrated), the Kevin panini, an aroncini (rice ball), spaghetti with clams and spicy penne. I can probably safely say that this place had the best spaghetti with clams we had in all of Italy, and we had it several other times as we went south. It was not too salty (a problem the other places definitely had), and the spaghetti was perfectly cooked. My husband also really liked his spicy penne. The restaurant played music videos the whole time, and that was how I found out the name of the song that's been playing around Italy the entire time we were there...so that was fun. We did see these other people who came in and complained about how salad doesn't come with the meal...and they decided to just drink the drink they ordered and leave instead of dining in. Their loss I guess...

    Love! We came across Osteria da Baco when we first arrived in Venice. The food is so delicious and affordable by Venice standards. This is most certainly an underrated restaurant. Their eggplant parmesan is phenomenal. Hubby loved his pizzas also. Outside dining is available. The service is friendly and prompt. This place is worth the visit when in Venice!

    Pancetta bruscetta

    Wow, happy to randomly pick this spot to grab some lunch after a long day of walking. Everything my husband and I ordered was great...but the pancetta bruschetta was out of control! Amazing!

    Sandwich lineup

    In the tourist-trap-filled labyrinth known as Venice in terms of food, I thought Osteria da Baco was pretty good. I ordered two sandwiches - one with shrimp salad and radicchio, and the other with prosciutto in it. My friend also ordered two sandwiches, though I forgot what was in hers. We enjoyed our sandwiches, and the ingredients were fresh. Nothing earth-shattering, just simple and fresh. It was a cozy shop, and people were constantly coming in and out. It is somewhat of a soup nazi line in there, but it's understandable given the size and the tourist traffic. I would stop by if I go back to Venice (versus no way for some of the other rip-off places encountered!).

    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.
