4 stars is not for the restaurant. It's for the small section it has for take out pizza. ordered: *ham and mushroom pizza slice- ehh it was decent. about 2.5-3 stars. *sausage pizza slice- it's bomb diggity! my husband and i stayed in venice 2 days and had Rossopomodoro 4 times!!! the sausage pizza is very tasty and this is coming from someone who does not eat pizza. it's nothing like pizza in the USA. the pizza was thin and not heavy on the sauces or cheese. there was an even amount of distribution of the sausage. the smell does not make me want to gag like how it does in the states. *hot dog - don't get it. it's nothing special. it's a waste of 3 euro. tips: *cash - 3 euro per slice *eat standing up to save money. *limited standing tables. *staff speaks limited english. *they sell drinks (water, soda, etc.) i would totally recommend anyone coming to venice to try this spot out. everything is made fresh and even if you come and the pizza is already out they heat it up for you so it'll warm and it still tastes fresh. 2 thumbs up. restaurant: 2 stars!!!! came here to do a take out since the take out section was closed. we tried asking the staff questions since we wanted to order something similar to the sausage pizza slice from the take out side but the staff didn't even let us finish our sentence. all she said was they don't make the same pizza. so we settled for a different type of pizza that they had and they totally rushed it. none of the toppings stayed put. it was soggy and fell out as we picked up the slices. don't come close to closing time! 10 euros for a box of pizza. not worth it! tip: *close at 11:30pm read more

This feels like a chain restaurant. The pizza was not the best I've had in Italy, or France, or even in the US. The service was good, however, a waitress dropped a wet napkin that frankly looked like a used condom. She looked at it and did not pick it up. She did not pick it up the second time she saw it. Another waiter slipped and fell on it and we felt bad. Told the line (why was there a line??) that it wasn't that good on the way out. Go somewhere off the beaten trail, people! Enjoy what Venice has to offer!! I would recommend this place to a family with a bunch of hungry and angry children they need to feed inexpensively and efficiently. read more

Rossopomodoro - Napoletana Near Me - Venezia, VE

Let's start by my confessing I'm not a huge pizza aficionado. Having said that, my wife and I are in Venice for two days. Flights got delayed. Arrived late in the evening and hungry. Checked yelp. This place has good reviews. I'm always somewhat skeptical but it's supposedly only a ten minute walk from the hotel. Turns out that in Venice you can get turned around and walk in circles with google maps driving you crazy. BUT... found the place. Awesome pizza. Great burrata. Waiter was Sto. Nicest guy Trying to get my son and his friends to come here tomorrow for lunch. Recommend. No hesitation. read more

The food here was amazing. I tried the spicy salami and basil pizza along with the special seafood spaghetti and the fried calamari. Everything was so fresh and delicious. The tomato sauce on the pizza was just uniquely different, like it was homemade. The spaghetti had a lot of mussels and clams. The spaghetti pasta was thick and appeared homemade as well. The calamari was lightly fried and not too salty. The waiter was very attentive. I also tried the nutelloso ice cream dessert. If there's one thing you need to know, Italians invented Nutella. It's a must try! read more

A bit of a disappointment. The pizza sauce was runny and had too much water in it. The dough was average and expected better. Looked a lot better then it tasted. The service sucks! We waited for every before our food arrived. I don't think I would come back. read more

Loved the meal here - close to San Marco Square. Pasta for the kids was amazing - both Penne w/ Alfredo and Spaghetti with Tomato Sauce (pictured) Margherita pizza and Cordore Salad were both excellent as well and we devoured the entrees. Wine also very good and easy drinking with this meal. Fun atmosphere and good music. read more

During our visit, we ate here twice. Good food, friendly service. Hope we can come back soon.

On our second consecutive night eating at this Venetian gem eatery, we enjoyed the best pizza and pasta combo ever! Both dishes combined the freshest ingredients, were perfectly prepared and the taste was superb. Bravo, Rossopomodoro! read more

We were waking down the alley when the smell hit us. There were few restaurants down the corner and thank God I had signal and Yelp works in Italy. The one in my right corner was crowded with food pictures in the menu (usually is not a good sign). The waitress come by and he was Indian (not a good sign if you are looking for authentic Italian food). I took my yelp app and they had 1.5 stars!!! God I was happy I did not pay attention to him (which was begging for me not to pay attention to the reviews). I TURNED LEFT AND THERE IT WAS, the place with the good smell. That tomato sauce, fresh pasta, fresh pizza ingredients smell. Ohhhh ROSSOPOMODORO it was you! Yelp had you with 4 starts YAY!!! We stopped by, and there is an Italian waitress running all around the place but having all on point. She gave us her recommendations and WAO she was right. The appetizers were amazing (cod fritters, parmiggiano eggplant (I don't eat eggplant and I could not atop eating this). The pasta was so fresh, and tasty. I don't eat meat but I had to try all plates (Lasagna, Fusilli) they were amazing. My plate was a pasta made with cheese and hazelnuts and it was to die for. Ohh and the bread, freshly made with some fresh Parmesan cheese. I'm wondering if I should go back here today or visit another restaurant. But the pizza look delish and I think I need to try it. read more

Despite great reviews on Yelp we were disappointed in the subpar pizza and lack of attention from the waiter. We were seated rather quickly given the line, but we didn't have a waiter come to our table for the first ten minutes and once a waiter arrived it was another ten minutes before we got the water we ordered. We started the meal with the white bread which was really good. It was €5 for eight slices of bread and a pot of marinara sauce which was well worth it. We ordered a half bottle of rosé which was enough for four glasses and it was good for the price (€10 for the bottle). For the main courses we got a five cheese pizza which was nearly inedible, a cosacca pizza which was decent, and a lasagna that was okay. The weirdest part of the experience, but perhaps the most entertaining was the restaurant playing Bailando eight times during the hour and a half we were in the restaurant. Overall, we probably wouldn't dine here again if we were given the option. read more

Best Pizza in Venezia! They let their dough rise for 24 hours and bake pizza's to perfection. The Margarita ,Diavola, Versace, and Capricciosa were delicious. We also ordered a delicious appetizer salad. So good, my wife and I visited there twice to dine during our holiday. read more

First they charge a service charge 2 Euro per person. This is not the reason for my rating. As a traveler you should ask if any restaurant charges a service per person. Yelp has the restaurant as kid friendly. However, the staff made issue with trying to provide pens for the kids to draw with. The Calzone was good. The Lasagne tastes like it is with American BBQ sauce and the sausage is more of a bland meatball. Everyone speaks English if you are having a hard time communicating. I would classify this more as a tourist trap. read more

My husband & I loved this place so much we went twice during our stay in Venice! For our first visit We had pizza with the spicy salami. AMAZING and delicious! For the second we had pasta - I had the potato gnocchi and my husband had the traditional spaghetti and both were excellent. Ingredients are very fresh and food is tasty! Service is somewhat slow but nothing out of the ordinary for Europe. Appetizer suggestions: bruschetta or the caprese salad! Also a must have is the Peschella peach red sparkling wine. You can only get this at rossopomodoro! Believe me, I asked! They let us buy some to take home to the U.S. :) also they are very accommodating with those who don't speak Italian! read more

Had a great time here with some friends. It's a local joint filled with locals from Venice and has some wonderful foods. Pretty much everyone got their own pizzas and we got a few appetizers. Caprese salad, buffala seasonal plate, and bruschetta. All were good, buffala was AWESOME. Pizzas came out super fresh and all were super tasty. read more

Order the Verace pizza! Fair warning though, you may spend the rest of your life searching for a pizza as delicious as this one. I know I still am. I had lunch here with three high school students of mine on our lunch break. They each ordered a different kind of pizza and were raving about theirs as well. We live in New York where there is also a high standard for pizza. I was skeptical of this place because it's so close to Piazza de San Marco, but it exceeded my expectations. Still searching for that pizza though... :( read more

Place can be recommended - price is very fair. Close to the Piazza San Marco with many seating options inside but only a few tables outside (only two people table - no seating for large groups outside). The bruschetta with zucchini was exceptionally good. Very flavorful. The pizza was also good for the price. You can get a great pizza for under 10€ not very common for Venice. We ordered the Diavola and the pizza with prosciutto, Parmesan and arugula. The diavola salami is on the spicier side. read more

This is one of the best restaurants I've had in Venice. I ordered for appetizer the calamari with polenta and mushrooms and that was delicious. For my main course I ordered the fried pizza which was the first time I've had fried pizza. From what I understand this is a napoletan style of pizza. This was the best pizza I had in Italy. The place is packed and you can see a lot of locals eating in this place. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a good Italian restaurant in Venice. Fried pizza is the bomb. read more

Yes!! The finest Wood fired pizza in Venice. Highly recommend dining here. It was Delicious!!

The food was subpar at best. Ordered the baked gnocchi which was tough and chewy, clearly not freshly made. Fried zucchini flowers were oily, overly salty and very heavy. Pasta with zucchini and pizza were average. Would not come back here. read more

Service was a bit slow which had nothing to do with how busy it was. You have a line but 4 tables clearly open. Pizza was almost like a bowl, had great flavor just wish the sauce wasn't as watery. Enjoyed the calamari, zucchini appetizer. read more

Food: one of our best meals in Italy. We enjoyed everything. We ordered Margherita pizza, bruschetta, and panna cotta. Enjoyed the pizza the best and would reorder. We stayed one more week in Italy and this was the best pizza. Service: Meh. This restaurant was crowded. We had to wait. Once seated, we had to wait to be served. Service was friendly but slow. Atmosphere: Dark, casual, hip, and fun. Lots of tourists. read more

We went without a reservation and I was surprised we were being seated right away, until I realized the restaurant was actually huge. We were seated right in front of the pizza ovens, and it was fun to watch the pizzas being made. We ordered wine, a couple of pizzas, a salad, and tiramisu. Everything was delicious! And our waiter was a lot of fun, too. read more

After the number one Yelp spot was closed, we headed over to number two! The place was packed and everyone was enjoying their food so we took a table. We ordered the bruschetta, seafood linguine, pasta alla carbonara, 1/2 carafe of white wine, and a still water. The pasta was good but not the best we've had. The wine was fantastic and the service was just okay due to the number of people at the restaurant. Overall if you want a quick meal in a convenient location Rossopomodoro is for you! read more

My tour director had recommended this place so my friend and I went with it. Since we gave up on looking up nearby places to eat due to our data not working properly. This was the first place that I actually got to sit down and enjoyed a proper meal. I should have gotten pizza, but I wasn't in the mood. I know insert *eyeroll. So I got spaghetti carbonara instead. I was excited because it's my favorite dish as well as finally getting to taste authentic carbonara. The dish wasn't heavy and salty. But the sauce was scrambled, which is a big no in this dish. I know there are many variations when it comes to carbonara, but I was hoping there would be pancetta instead of bacon. Service was decent. Once you're done, you pay at the counter. And if this is your first time in Italy, there is a coperto (service) charge. Also, I thought if we eat the bread we will be charge, but after dining here, we learned that the bread is part of the service charge. Overall, a good meal after sightseeing all morning. read more

At the conclusion of a ten day trip to Italy (Rome, Florence, and Venice), I wish we had found this restaurant first as it was the best pizza we had in Italy. While the place was very crowded for lunch, we were seated promptly and the service was very good and the food was delivered promptly. We had a view of the cook making the pizzas in the brick oven. The family ordered four different pizzas and we each shared - and thinking about it, and looking at the photo we took, I wish I had one right now. Pricing is reasonable, and if you are in Venice I would say this is a can't-miss place if you love pizza. read more

Food was terrible. Most of the ingredients were clearly pre-made and frozen. The photos on the website are clearly not of this location. Service was as bad as the food.

It's almost embarrassing how much we loved this restaurant while in Venice. Came back multiple times. It takes some effort to find incredible food in this city amongst all the touristy restaurants. Come here for the pizza specifically! So many types to choose from but we chose The Verace pizza as our favorite! Pizza is Neapolitan style so only takes a few minutes typically. I will say the gnocchi took incredibly long so keep that in mind! There's typically a wait at dinner but it's worth it. Wish we could have brought this restaurant home! read more

I simply went out and got lost in the streets of Venice and stumbled into this gem. I really wanted to stay stay away from San Marco square's main area- it is small.

Delicious pizza! Definitely the best in Venice! Ran by people from Naples, very authentic. I had white pizza with mushroom and prosciutto. So good!! Everyone else enjoyed theirs as well. The waitresses are not friendly but I learned that's how it is everywhere here so you really have to judge on the food alone. They charge for water and beer is almost the same price so you might as well get a beer! read more

I found this restaurant via Yelp and went partly to substantiate its high ranking as a kid friendly mid range pizzeria and partly out of necessity. Obviously popular with English speakers the restaurant was very busy at the traditional North America dinner hour (6 to 8). Like all places in Venice it was more expensive than it needed to be but certainly delivered on its promise of good pizza and good pasta. 4 beers on tap was okay for Italy. Not authentic by any stretch it may remind one of other kid friendly chain restaurants wherever you're from. read more
