Our Globus tour took our tour group here for dinner. The restaurant was big to accomodate 44 of us! Check out my pictures to see what i ate. The pizza good, everything else was ok. Heard its a chain so very typical but service was excellent!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
The food was great and the wait staff was kind and helpful! A quiet side street off of (but close to!) Piazza San Marco.
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

After making a horrible mistake of not checking Yelp for lunch, we decided to come here for dinner after seeing the great reviews. We were not disappointed! We came at 8pm and were seated within 5 minutes. The place is much larger inside than expected and was full of people! They have back rooms and even an upstairs level. Service was no-nonsense and good. We got a margherita pizza, a cranberry (frutti rossi) salad, bolognese (beef based) pasta, and a seafood special pasta. Everything was great. The pizza was exactly as you expect a margherita pizza to be - thin, cheesy, tomato-y, and crispy and soft at the same time. The pastas were especially tasty. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a nice meal in Venice! read more

Went on the hunt for Venice's pizza - FOUND IT - amazing brick oven pizza that will absolutely ruin pizza here at home - the wait staff was so-so but made up for it with the food & Peroni! read more
Food so beautiful I had to post the photos before writing my review. There are restaurateurs and there are talented chefs. These guys definitely know how to bring the two together. Thank goodness for the long tables in the back. They were able to accommodate 2 large groups at the same time. But back to the food. As mentioned before, the food is beautiful. The flavors are spot on - even the sage leaf on top of my pasta dish where 99.99999999% of the world would place a basil leaf was a nice touch. Pizza was also up there in quality, but at the end of the trip almost all of us were too pizza'd out to try. I didn't get to try a main course, but I did have to try a tiramisu before I left Venice. Unfortunately, I didn't get to try a classic one, but luckily they have a modern Nutella twist to one. It was just as wonderful as it sounds. They didn't go overboard with the Nutella and the texture was just perfect. One misstep was a fried appetizer sampler my friends got. A fried ricotta fritter type should theoretically be good, but they seemed to have missed the mark. And there were some fried dough balls on the same plate that we didn't care for much either. Fix the ricotta fritter and scrap the rest of the dish, please. Other than that, I feel it was a great way to cap off our adventure. read more

Pizza was light and doughy. Perfect in my opinion. The risotto left something to be desired. More rice, less sauce and muscles were sprinkled in. The rice grains were bigger than expected and I was expecting more savory but got more..well...rice. read more

I call nonsense on the other reviews that dismiss this place as a chain. So what? ITS GOOD!!! And reasonably priced. And I spotted Italian locals there. I was extremely pleased to see salads with actual interesting ingredients, bruschetta and an array of fresh mozzarella appetizers. I opted for an order of bruschetta (2 pieces, excellent garlic level) and a prosciutto, cantaloupe, mozzarella and arugula salad. Excellent olive oil and balsamic on the salad. If I had more nights in Venice I would go back for sure. Side note... the interior is very big, there's a large back section and an upstairs area. read more

My husband's pizza was great; I asked the server for a pasta suggestion, and she suggested the bolognese. It was bland and lacked in flavor. The pasta was fresh, so maybe with a different sauce? Very touristy, but the service was decent. read more

The girlfriend and I arrived in Venice around an hour and a half after leaving the airport, courtesy of the Alilaguna water bus giving us seemingly a tour of the entire lagoon prior to dropping us off at our stop We had a lovely dinner booked at Corte Sconta and so we wanted only a bite for lunch. Determined not to shame myself and my Yelp good food credibility (hehe), we had a good wander round the little alleyways surrounding St Mark's Square, running the Brick Lane-esque gauntlet of waiters trying to persuade you into their restaurant We happened upon the takeaway section of Rossopomodoro. Probably from a Pavlovian response of associating takeaway pizza with horrendously long shifts as a junior doctor, I tend to shy away from pizza as a food choice. However, these did look delicious, they were cheap and small in portion and while in Rome/Venice, I suppose one should do as the locals do. So, we ordered the best looking slice and the server chucked it into the oven to warm up Well, my view on pizza has changed. Super crispy base, almost bruschetta like with a slight spongy rise. Topped with milky chunks of just melted mozzarella, sweet sweet cherry tomatoes and healthy sprinkle of basil Molte bene! And all for three Euros read more

I was apprehensive about this place since it's a chain but man was I glad I came. I ordered the diavola pizza which is a marghertia with spicy salami. The dough is what sets this place apart where it's very chewy like a true Napoli styled pizza. It also had an essence of smoky flavor which I liked but I wasn't sure where it came from...either the cheese or the salami read more

Yum!!! Rossopomodoro is a great place if you're craving pizza. My boyfriend and I heard such great things about this place, we made sure we had time in our itinerary to come here. We arrived at about 7:30 pm for dinner. It was getting full quickly, but luckily we got a table right away. We ordered the house wine,the lasagnella pizza and the ventura pizza.I liked both pies, but lasagnella takes it all the way home. The sauce was delicious and the melted, gooey cheese just made the pizza amazing. The house wine was a little on the light side, it honestly tasted like watered down red wine, but for the price, it was worth it. Ventura was good, but we both like sauces on our pizza and this wasn't sauce heavy. There was Parmesan, prosciutto and arugula. Was still tasty, just a little dry. Service is pretty good here. Even when they were slammed, we got our food at a reasonable time and our waiter came back to make sure we were okay and didn't need anything. Overall, a great dining experience! If we're ever in Venice again, I will definitely be back here! read more

My first check-in in Italy! I was here on 21 May 2016. This place was recommended by our hotel receptionist and it was not a disappointment! Highly recommended if you're looking for a good meal while traveling around Venice. The staffs here were warm and friendly, spoke good English and the service was excellent. Here's what we ordered: 1) Antipasti Montanara e calzoncello (must try): 2 Classic fried pizzas: mountain tomato sauce, hard cheese flakes, basil; buffalo ricotta, salami and pecorino bagnolese I think I liked this better than my pizza. It's fried fritters with stuffed cheese in it. The portion is quite huge, plenty for a couple to share. It's very cheesy and if you're getting this, you might want to hold on the cheese for your mains. 2) Mains a) Frufru pizza: 3 flavors - 1/3 daisy with yellow cherry tomatoes, 1/3 buffalo ricotta, zucchini and provolone; 1/3 mozzarella and 'Nduja Spilinga' They're known for their pizzas here. This was one of their speciality pizzas. I thought it was ok, but wasn't mind blowing. I would have explored something else on the menu. b) Tubettoni fagioli e cozze (must try) Tubes beans and mussels served in pignata pizza bread, cherry tomatoes with chili and parsley I've never had beans cooked with pasta before, this is a first. It's an interesting and tasty dish. You have the pizza dough on the base and all the other ingredients on top. The mussels were fresh and it complimented the cherry tomatoes. c) Drinks Half a bottle of Lacryma Rosé wine The price is kind of what you would expect in a heavy tourist spot, but nothing over the top. I think it's worth the bill :) read more

Very nice and close to San Marco square. Wonderful pizza, we went twice. Easy menu to navigate and quick service. If your facing San Marcos go left and one block back from the square and one block toward the back of the church. read more

I'm giving this place a 3 star due to the fact that when I got my gnocchi that it was burnt on the sides, bottom, and top. We didn't want to complain when we got the dish. The other fact that my husband got his pizza first and I never got my gnocchi until later, I had to get the waiters attention to let him know that I never received my meal. I'll say the grated Parmesan was pretty good and the pizza was decent. This place was ok our books, it wasn't the best we had in Venice. read more

Super cool atmosphere! Loved the Halloween decorations and the pop music. We went on a Friday around 8pm, and there was no wait for our table, and people were still coming in to eat around 10pm when we left. In addition to their extensive normal menu, they had a special Halloween pizza with pumpkin. I had the Capricciosa pizza (good, but I think I would have preferred a different pizza because I'm not a huge fan of green olives) and the Calde Calde for dessert. With the cover charge and my water, I only paid around 20 euros for my meal. Overall, for the atmosphere and the delicious food, I think it was a good deal and a cool place to hang out on a Friday night! read more

Went for dinner and the cafe once for breakfast. For dinner, pizza was excellent, price was good for the area but staff were pretty rude. For breakfast the croissants were super amazing and flakey and great coffee / tea and service was amazing by the lady running it all by herself. My wife had the large salad as she was feeling like we ate only pasta and pizza all week, I had the pizza. Both were great and large sizes. read more

Go to Rossopomodoro if you want really good pizza in Venice! I've had pizza in other parts of Italy and this place had some of the best in my opinion. It's also the only pizzeria in San Marco that uses a wood oven. We walked in without a reservation and they were able to seat us immediately. Our server wasn't very friendly but we came for the food, not the service. This restaurant also allows you to order half bottles of wine which worked great for us! The pizza's are about 8 slices. We were starving so we decided to order our own. My husband got the the Marinara pizza which was very simple, and had no cheese. He ate the entire thing in less than 15 min! I got the True pizza which was also simple, but had so much flavor! All of their ingredients tasted so fresh. If you want to add some spice, ask your server for their Rossopomodoro chili oil and drizzle some on your pizza! Their crust was my favorite part. The dough was delicious and fluffy. I would absolutely come back. This is some of the best pizza I've ever had And the pricing was very affordable. So yummy! read more

Hands down the best restaurant in Venice. I shall start with the Pros: 1. Very close to the hotel I was staying at. You can't really drive in Venice so it's nice to be able to walk around 2. I consider myself a crust connoisseur and this was the BEST crust of pizza i've ever had. I dont like pizza, so i pride myself on eating my friends' crusts and rating them. This was a solid 100 (out of a 100 ) 3. I also got a grilled chicken salad and it was cooked very well. Cons: 1. Service took FOREVER. We asked for water about 4 times and they also forgot a friends soda. The place was packed so i guess i understand but even when asking for wifi the waitress acted like she payed for it. So rude I shall go back. read more
Really busy and lively. Good pasta and pizza. Very close to St Marcos Sq and the price is reasonable being so close to an popular tourist spot. We had to wait for 20 min to be seated but the staff were all very nice and friendly. read more
Came to Rossopomodoro due to the overwhelming Yelp reviews for their pizza! Quick seating, cute interior with soft love songs playing in the background. My husband and I ordered the Verace pizza (same as Margherita but mozzarella buffalo cheese from Naples) and a Coccode salad. Both were delicious! We would definitely come here again either for lunch or dinner! read more
