The outside seating atea

Fantastic place in Burano for pizza and calamari. Great place for a cool lunch in a lovely location. Extensive menu with lots of choices for everyone. Staff very pleasant.

Definitely overlooked in the beautiful city of Burano! There are flicks of tourist just walking past this little pizza shop. The pizza here was no joke, maybe best in all of Venice/Murano/Burano. The dough was very crisp yet chewy. I don't remember the name of the pizza I ordered but every single pizza sounded mouth watering so I just asked for the most ordered and went with it. I also got a grilled fresh fish of the day, the waiter told us it was literally just hauled off the boats. It sure tasted super fresh, very tender and the meat flakes off the bones with ease. I wish I had more time in Burano to come again.

Onion. Pepper, egg, salami

I think so far this place has the best pizza I've tried in Venice. None of the pizza places wow-Ed me but principe pizzeria. We went by the recommendations of the server and had the pizza with peppers, fried egg, and salami. We also had the grilled sea bass. The waiter told us that the sea bass is very fresh and came in just 5-10 mins ago and it really tasted that fresh! They have seats outside so you can people watch and enjoy the view of Burano.

Salad with octopus, shrimp, corn, olives, and tomatoes (12 euro)

After wandering beautiful Burano, we found Principe Pizzeria due to TripAdvisor reviews. The staff are definitely used to tourists, and they have an English menu. You can choose to sit inside or outside, and there was AC inside. Food: -Gnocchi scampi (about 16 euro): This gnocchi dish came with zucchini and just a few shrimp that were halved so you really only got about 3 whole shrimp with just a measly amount of meat. The gnocchi was tender, but the sauce was flat and the overall dish just didn't do anything for me. I've definitely had better in Italy and paid less for it too. -Salad with octopus, shrimp, corn, and olives (about 12 euro): This salad is huge and can easily be shared among two people, but it was also the priciest salad I had while in Italy. I was craving seafood, but the octopus was too tough and the shrimp were almost mealy (not pleasant to eat). Other reviews raved about the seafood, so maybe it was just an off day. Service: -They do speak English here, and the service was fine (nothing that stood out). Bottom Line: I wouldn't return to this restaurant considering there are so many other choices around the town. It did its job, but it was just an average ho-hum meal with an above average price tag.

Great people, free wifi & casual atmosphere. Had a great tiramisu and some cheap good cappuccino. Clean bathroom and air conditioning too!

The ice-coffee is special: in the glass there is a scoop ice cream on the espresso, and whipped cream on the ice cream.

Squid/Inkfish spaghetti and carbonara taste very good! The ice-coffee is special: in the glass there is a scoop ice cream on the espresso, and whipped cream on the ice cream. As I stilled and mixed them up, the coffee is wonderful. The last but not the least, the prices of meals are even lower than the restaurants in mainland Venice.

Siting by the canal.

Nice atmosphere on the canal Great pizza. Service a bit slow, but they were busy and we weren't in a hurry. Recommend!

A solid choice if you're in Burano for lunch. We got here around 11am and we were able to find seating outside. The service was excellent. The bread and olive oil were okay. I ordered a margarita pizza and it was definitely one of the better pizzas I had in Italy. The sauce was the best part. I also ordered the iced coffee dessert but that wasn't as amazing, still good though.

I found this place through Yelp and I'm glad I did. Get the pizza...and the cold white wine...and maybe a beer. Delicious!

Fritto Misto

This spot is a good way to try out a bunch of fried seafood but it's nothing to write home about…read more The seafood is fried in advance so no guarantee you will be getting a fresh scoop or a good assortment of pieces. The seafood is served in a cracker bowl which is both super sustainable and a fun way to eliminate waste. The service was so nasty toward the tourists that I was really close to stepping away from the venue during the initial interaction. But we were tired from a long day of exploring and were opting for something more casual before heading on the ferry back. Prices for the dishes aren't exactly cheap. For a pile of seafood and a drink I believe the cost was close to 20 euros. Overall, if you can go to another spot that offers fresher fritto misto you might be able to enjoy it and have a better experience than this location.

Not sure how the food is because the place was closing. I needed to use the bathroom but in order…read moreto use the bathroom I needed to buy something, which is completely understandable. I bought a water because the kitchen was closed. The man that I spoke to was pretty rude. My mother also needed to use the bathroom. While she was in there and the worker saw her go in there he proceeded to start banging on the door after her being in there for 1 minute. Because of the worker banging on the door my mother peed everywhere. NOT COOL! RUDE PEOPLE WORK HERE! Water bottle was good that's why the 2 stars not 1.

I'm so sad that the first review on this place was a negative one as it almost caused me to miss…read moreout on one of the second best Gnocchi's I have ever had. So glad I didn't dismiss this place! The Gnocchi scampi was absolutely delicious! The vegetables (yellow peppers and zucchini) were perfectly cooked i.e not too soft and not too crispy where the flavor is overpowering, and shrimps that were so fresh, you swear they were caught in the moment. Finally, it had the perfect amount of sauce and olive oil bringing it all together for a perfect blend of flavoring. I damn nearly licked the plate (no seriously, I took all the bread from the breadbasket and wiped that plate clean!). My friend had the margarita pizza with French fries which was a unique combination for the eyes lol, but he enjoyed it. Lastly, I had a glass of Sauvignon Blanc which was nice and fruity, while he had a beer. Nothing to brag about here. The place is small when you walk in but they have additional seating up stairs and outside (beware! Like all restaurants in Venice, they charge and extra fee to sit outside) Service was very friendly and fast. Overall I would definitely recommend you stop here if you end up on Burano island.
