I ordered the bbq wings and they are soooo good. Potato crisps and coleslaw are my favorite as well. Service was great and they have a bar.

La Locanda - Aviano, Italy If you're looking for the kind…read moreof Italian restaurant that feels like a warm embrace the moment you walk in, *La Locanda* in Aviano is it. This place has every bit of charm you'd expect--and love--from an authentic Italian dining experience. The staff are absolutely incredible. Friendly, welcoming, and genuinely attentive, they went above and beyond to make sure our family felt right at home. Whether it was customizing dishes or happily serving off-menu requests, nothing was too much to ask. We loved it so much, we came back for a second visit during our trip--and we're already counting down the days until we can return. A special shoutout to Jenny and Roberto--our amazing servers--who made every meal feel like we were dining with old friends. When you leave with full hearts, full bellies, and hugs from your new Italian friends, you know you've made the right choice. Grazie mille, La Locanda! We can't wait to see you again.

If you're staying anywhere near Hotel Al Sotoportego, do yourself a favor and eat at Al Vagon…read more My two daughters and I were staying at Hotel Al Sotoportego, and this restaurant is literally right outside the hotel entrance along the canal. The moment you step out the door, you're practically part of the restaurant. Every time we walked by, it was packed, and every dish that came out looked incredible. It was our last night in Venice, and we made a last-minute decision to cancel our dinner reservations at another well-known restaurant and eat here instead. It turned out to be one of the best decisions we made during our entire trip. Even though they were extremely busy and we didn't have reservations, the owner, Giovanna, welcomed us with such warmth and kindness. She asked us to wait just a few minutes inside, made sure we were comfortable, and even turned the fan/air conditioning toward us while we waited. That simple gesture said everything about how much she cares about her guests. When we finally sat down, every single bite was outstanding. My daughters and I devoured everything we ordered and literally cleaned our plates. The food was authentic, fresh, and absolutely delicious. But what truly makes Al Vagon special is the hospitality. Since it was our last day in Venice, we were trying to figure out how to avoid dragging three large suitcases through Venice and over the Rialto Bridge to get to Marco Polo Airport for our flight to Santorini. As we were eating, we noticed there was a water taxi dock literally next to our table. Since the restaurant sits right on the canal, we wondered if it would be possible to arrange for a private water taxi to pick us up directly outside our hotel. Our waiter immediately offered to help and asked Giovanna if she had the phone number for a private water taxi. We already thought that was incredibly thoughtful. But then Giovanna went above and beyond. When I thanked her, she didn't just hand me a phone number--she personally called and arranged the entire pickup for us. The next morning, our private water taxi arrived exactly on time right outside our hotel. We stepped aboard with our luggage and enjoyed one of the most beautiful rides of our trip all the way to Marco Polo Airport. It cost €170, and it was worth every single euro for the convenience, the scenery, and the stress-free ending to our Venice stay. Giovanna, thank you for your incredible hospitality, your kindness, and for serving my daughters and me one of the most memorable meals we had in Venice. You turned what could have been a stressful travel day into a perfect ending to our trip. We can't wait to come back. Until next time--grazie mille!

Seriously, the fish came out with the head and tail still in it. The waiter asked if we wanted to filet it or if we wanted him to do it. The waiter did it so quick. My salmon dish was super fresh as well. It came with potatoes. I ordered a tomato ensalad, which was a bowl of tomatoes. I didn't know that lol I ate the tomatoes with my salmon. My favorite dish was the TAGLIOLINI ALL'ASTIC. That was amazingly good! The flavor was there and the noodles were delicious! 10/10 dish right there. My husband had the squid ink pasta and loved that. The food was good all around. Ambiance was a sit down restaurant. A little more upscale, but not too much that you can't wear casual clothes inside. We weren't dressed up and they let us in. Make sure to have a reservation! They get busy, especially since the outdoor dining is by the canal.

Both were served with a a mound of fresh cut potatoes, grilled vegetables and two sauces to dip into. We barely used the dips as everything was seasoned to perfection. No steak sauce needed as the steak was well seasoned and served hot. We also have a bottle of white wine and tried the lasagna for our starter. Everyone at the table was happy with this option for dinner. Also this is not fancy dinner but still dining at its fines. If you are a steak lover and in the Venice area Al Timon is a must have for dinner.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Definitely get the Lombatello steak if you are feeling carnivorous…read more Throngs of lively people sipping wine and snacking on cichetti late into the evening along the canal. The cichetti selection looked very good (variety thinned out throughout the night), but our party of 3 was starving and we opted to sit inside for a late ~8:30pm dinner. We got one order of grilled lamb and the Lombatello steak for 2. The lamb was also good, no gamey taste. The Lombatello steak was simply fantastic, choose this cut specifically!! A heaping pile of medium-rare meat (cannot buy single portions) that was very tender and flavorful. It's cushioned with steak fries and grilled veggies on the side. Paired with two glasses of house wine, this meal was fantastic. Ended up with a to go box of steak and fries. Servers are very busy, bustling around clearing tables, taking orders, etc, but they are vigilant if you need anything. We saw one table of ~10 order a steak platter, and it was a sight to behold - a massive wooden cutting board packed with steak, transported by two waiters.
