    aperol spritz
    Thaybeth M.

    Visited this spot with my family per the recommendation of our Airbnb host, and it didn't disappoint! Came by twice in the span of 3 days (once for lunch and then for dinner). The service was fast and the staff was attentive. Both times, our party of 4 was seated immediately, since they have multiple floors of seating areas. For drinks, I ordered an Aperol Spritz and a white wine. I'd never had Aperol Spritz in Italy, but was excited to try it. It was good, but had much less frizz than expected. The white wine (Greco di Tufo) was very good. We wanted something light and refreshing and that was exactly what we got, per the server's recommendation. For lunch I had the pasta carbonara and for dinner the Cafuncella Pizza. The pasta carbonara was al dente and the sauce very creamy with the perfect amount of pepper. The only thing I would've done was add more guanciale. The pizza had provolone cheese, pancetta, tomato, rosemary potatoes, and cacioricotta flakes. The pizza dough was extra thin, to the point that some areas of the pizza would break down a bit when trying to grab a bite. However, the sauce and the toppings were very good and the description of the pizza on the menu says it's thin, so I wasn't surprised. Overall, I recommend this spot when in the area. I would say go for the pasta instead of the pizza, since there are far better pizza places in the area.

    This is definitely a tourist restaurant. Think Buca di Beppo with a smaller portion size. Restaurant is rather large for the area. Staff is nice. Be warned, there is zero cell service, so when you pass by the sign as you walk in, take a picture of the WiFi code. You'll need it. For the appetizers, Meatballs were small and the sauce really needed a little garlic salt? Paccheri noodles were not as soft as I hoped and the promised burrata was hard to find. Chocolate torte was fine. Not quite a fresh chocolate lava cake. More like a premade dessert warmed up. It's fine for what it is. Seems family friendly. But very basic. Prices were affordable though!

    I was happy with my selection!

    It was lunch time, we were in St. Mark's Square, we were hungry and were in the mood for pizza. Using Yelp, we found Rosso Pomodoro only a few minutes walk from where we were. We were able to get in with only about a three minute wait and walked into a fairly large restaurant. We were seated near a window and the restaurant decor was very attractive and inviting. We were both in the mood for a pizza and a beer, so we immediately zeroed into that part of the menu. Both of the pizzas we ordered were excellent with a charred crust and perfect dough. The ingredients were high quality and tasty. Our only mistake was ordering two pizzas, because each of us could only finish half. I've seen some comments on Yelp about the service, but our service was quick and attentive.

    Pasta
    Travis P.

    This is a popular pizza chain so we had to try it out. It was pretty good but also I didn't feel like it was anything special either. Ended up getting a pasta which tasted fairly fresh, the noodles had a nice bite to it and the sauce was good. The pizza was crispy and thin. Flavors were solid and we enjoyed it. The parmesan cheese they gave us had a dead maggot in it, which might mean it's super fresh but not totally sure. Overall for a chain, it's pretty good. Prices were good, drinks and food were solid.

    French fries

    The restaurant is very large, but gets SUPER busy at lunch time after all of the morning tours of the basilica and doge palace get released. They said it would be 45 min until our pizza was done: so we got French fries as we waited, and their ketchup wasn't Normal ketchup: be prepared, haha. But fries were perfectly cooked. The pizza , however, was the worst pizza we had in all of Italy. (Forgot to get a photo). we think they were rushing our order, since they were so backed up. The center of the pizza was still raw dough, and wasn't cooked!

    Just okay. I'm not understanding the hype about this spot. The pizza we got was flimsy and hard to even eat. It appeared and tasted to lack any pizza sauce. It was just cheese and vegetables. It was a vegetarian pizza. I would not recommend it. The cheese ravioli was different. It had cheese inside and then it was topped with crunchy cheese. That was weird for me because the cheese inside the ravioli was super soft and gave a mushy consistency. Then the crunchy cheese garnish with the mush inside, didn't work. It was gross to me. I couldn't eat this. Service was good. No issues there. One of the cooks was drinking beer while making our pizza. Maybe that's why the pizza sucked? Cute place, and I like the decor. Nice location too, close to grand canal in Venice.

    Carbonara
    Carlos S.

    A typical Venetian restaurant with nooks and crannies one has to navigate (plus the bathrooms are in a maze upstairs). Good honest food, got the carbonara, others in my party got pizza and the vongole pasta and everyone loved it.

    Came after the reccomendation of my tour guide. It's the only pizza place in Venice with a wood (or coal I don't remember) burning oven. The pizza is the exact type that speaks to my soul! From the deliciously chewy, crispy crust to fresh toppings I don't think pizza can get better than this. Was the best pizza I had in Italy.

    Diavola pizza
    Eli B.

    This great spot was right next door to my hotel and I had lunch & dinner there the same day...because I had to try both the pizza and pasta. The staff was great both times (attentive, patient and English language very good). The food was very good and I found the pizza sauce to be much better than the pasta and meatball sauce.

    Focaccino was fab!!

    The food was great and the wait staff was kind and helpful! A quiet side street off of (but close to!) Piazza San Marco.

    I recently visited a popular pizza place in Venice, Italy, with high expectations based on its reputation among visitors. Unfortunately, my experience was a bit of a letdown. The pizza, which I was most excited to try, turned out to be very salty, overshadowing the other flavors. On the positive side, the fried calamari was tasty, with a nice crispy texture and well-seasoned flavor. However, the service left much to be desired. The servers took a long time to take our orders and bring the food. To add to the frustration, our drinks didn't arrive until we got our food, which was quite disappointing. Additionally, I'm fairly certain we were overcharged, which left a sour note on the overall experience. While the fried calamari was enjoyable, the overly salty pizza and subpar service make it hard to recommend this place, especially given the plethora of dining options in Venice. Restaurant was loud and crowded.

    Nice location 2 minutes from piazza san Marco this Napolitano restaurant has good service and decent food. The ambience is as expected, chaotic during summer but manageable. Nice option for a mid day snack

    Seafood pasta
    Heidi L.

    Found this place through yelp and decided to go for dinner. The place seems like a normal restaurant from the inside but is actually HUGE with a large upstairs area as well. Had no idea from the pictures that this is actually a chain restaurant. We got the seafood pasta, bruschetta, and diavola pizza. The seafood pasta had plenty of clams and mussels and a huge portion. Pizza was pretty good and bruschetta was ok. I would consider coming here again but probably try something different next time

    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.
