Their food offers some insightful new takes on some beloved classics. Unfortunately, they also did not respond to my notice regarding to food poisoning, which is concerning. (Spiky Crab Salad: F) - The crab itself tastes fine, but unfortunately there is so much crab shell shards mixed in that this dish becomes a nuisance to eat. (Gnocchi: A) - The gnocchi was light and fluffy, with the fragrance of herbs beautifully integrated into the dough. This pairs well with the octopus ragu which adds a seafood take on a classic ragu.

Outstanding. This…read morewas quite a long walk from the AC Hotel where we stayed while in Venice. The place was small but it had the old Italian interiors and vibe. We were greeted and seated once we walked in. The tables were very close to each other because of the small space but other than that, it was neat and nice. Our server was polite, efficient, and great. I loved the cover of the drinks menu, which was drawn by children. The dishes that I've tried were: SEAFOOD SAMPLER APPETIZER- everything in the plate was so tasty FISH CARBONARA- so delicious! TAGLIOLINI w/ SPIDER CRAB- how can I resist spider crab in pasta?! This was a winner! Even the TARALLI and bread were addicting. As usual, we have never failed in selecting any of the Italian wines that we've had anywhere in Italy. This was no exception. Overall, I highly recommend Vini Da Gigio to anyone who wants to experience the delicious and excellent Italian cuisine, in the gorgeous city of Venice. Grazie mille!

This cozy(like everywhere else in Venice) osteria was nothing but pleasant and heartfelt experience that made us fall in love at the first sight. We weren't really sure what to get, we knew what we wanted, however. Something authentically Venezian. Our hostess kindly and patiently guided us the recommendations. Then we settled with followings. * Spaghetti alla busera - spaghetti with shrimps and fresh cherry tomatoes. * coda di rospo cib pomodoruchi - monkfish with cherry tomatoes, potaties and balck olives. * Saltata di cozze - Saute with mussels * Baccala mantecato con polenta - Venetian style codfish * Saor del giorno con polenta - Saor of the day with polenta *fried seafood platter I've eaten monkfish before but never like this. By looking at it, I thought that I was eating white fish like a cod. But the texture was so meaty, tasty and so satisfying. Yet, it didn't sit heavy in my stomach like meat does. Tomato sauce with actual mini tomato went sooo went with it. Spaghetti Alla busera's texture was perfectly al Dante and delicious. Same with monkfish, tomato sauce with cherry tomato was so great! I think this is their signature sauce! Although I want to brag more about the food but it'd be as long as the dissertation! If you come here, go with seafood! They are freakin' amazing!! Thank you, Ruga di Jaffa!!

Boy was I surprised. We ordered: Burrata salad - amazing! Butrata was so fresh & the salad greens were perfect. Shrimp & polenta - the shrimp was perfectly salty and paired with the creamiest polenta. I love polenta and this blew me away. Ravioli with truffle - the pasta you could tell was freshly made in house and just delicious. This restaurant is off the beaten path away from the tourist areas. Tiramisu - yummy! Light and not too sweet. The perfect ending to our first meal of this visit. I wanna gatekeep this place but I feel like the nearby hotels have already told many about it. Hint: it's up the street from Ai Cugnai (which is highly rated) but frankly so touristy and not as good.
