There was definitely a line for tables when we left. We wanted a light dinner so we only got lasagna and a glass of wine, but the service was wonderful and it was the best lasagna of my life. The interior of this restaurant was small, but really cute all the food at all the tables looked amazing. I would definitely want to eat here again and try more things. This was a wonderful dinner.

Unfortunately our wait staff had major issues getting the orders through. In the end what we thought were small personal pizzas ended up being full size ones. Simply too much food for three people. The quality of the dish was questionable at best and gave each of us terrible upset stomachs for the rest of our day in Venice. Overall just an extremely disappointing experience.

We…read morewalked about 15 minutes from our hotel through the Venetian labyrinth and arrived right at opening. A combination of a thunderstorm and an early dinner meant the place was empty, but Marco and other staff welcomed us warmly all the same. We had the antipasti Parmigiana Di Melanzane (fried eggplant with cheese) and enjoyed the mains Pasta Al Forno (baked pasta with beef and peas), Pasta Con Le Polpette E Salsa Di Pomodoro (spaghetti with meatballs - not pictured), and Turbante Di Pesce Spada "A Beccafico" (baked swordfish). These were also with the Casa Rosso wine and Birra Siciliana beer both blonde and red. All food was superb. The fried eggplant was flavorful and fresh, and the bread was crispy and savory. The baked pasta was rich, the spaghetti and meatballs were nostalgic, and the swordfish was delectable. Safe to say we all cleared our plates easily. We wish nothing but the very best for Marco and his restaurant. This food was some of the best we had on our two week stay throughout Italy. The atmosphere, staff, and of course the amazing food made for a great experience that we would recommend to anyone looking for a reasonably priced homestyle Sicilian meal.

Wow! What an incredible experience. We've been traveling through Europe and happened to find this…read moreplace on our last night in Venice, and we're so glad we did. From the moment we arrived, the owner, Marco, made us feel genuinely welcome. He explained that the food is Sicilian and quite different from what you typically find in Venice, which was exactly what we were hoping for after days of similar menus. The menu is short, focused, and built around family recipes. We ordered the pasta of the day, the roast beef, and the smoked salmon dish, and every single item was fantastic. To finish, we had limoncello made by Marco's mother, and it was absolutely delicious. What really made the evening special was Marco and his family. They were warm, kind, and genuinely happy to share their story with us. We loved hearing about his late father and the lasting impact he had on both the family and the restaurant. One of the most memorable parts of the night was joining in the restaurant tradition of coloring pictures and exchanging them with drawings already hanging on the ceiling. We ended up taking home a picture created by a family member, and it will be making the journey back with us to Carlsbad, California. Without a doubt, this was the best dining experience of our entire trip through Europe. Highly recommended!!

This was by far one of the greatest meals I've ever had in my entire life. The service was amazing…read more Every staff member we encountered was not just polite but genuinely friendly. The pumpkin flan was a true experience of sweet and savoriness. I couldn't stop eating the ratatouille; it was such a delicious treat. I was able to have a conversation with the chef after our meal, and she encouraged my excitement to experiment and try my hand at some of these dishes at home. I wish I lived in Venice, so I could have La Zucca regularly. They only had one reservation spot for the days we were in Venice, so I definitely recommend making reservations ahead of time.

Took us about a 20 minute walk to get there but it was every step worth it…read more We had a reservation for us ahead of time and that helped. Nicola and Saor were our hosts and kept our tables well served through and through. Saor ran us through the options and we ended up ordering the following: Green beans with almond, grilled fennel with walnuts, lentils and stuffed mushrooms. You really cannot go wrong with any of these as how they were severed though my personal favorite were the lentils and the fennel. Absolutely recommend the place and their hosts and as well the ambiance that you get in a subtle kind of quite part of the town. Just do it!!

Old world here meant old furnishings ~ a bit dark & divey inside without any windows, we opted to eat outside. The chairs and tables literally inches from the canal edge are rickety and unstable, a joking fear of falling into the water. Service ~ no smiles, deadpan expression, just nods when taking our order. Food ~ meh. Small portions compared to the other restaurants we experienced and pricey. Nothing eyebrow raising in flavors and little to no meat in the pasta. The mussels were rubbery. Bare minimum pedestrian activity, minimum service, less than entree quality gave us an infelice face :/

The pasta dishes were very good and they had extensive seafood options. The frutti de mare was very delicious. My wife had the filet mignon. It was great as well.

Since Venice is generally expensive, I found this spot to be relatively affordable, so we decided to give it a try. We ordered the fried seafood, which is their most popular item. It's served in a paper cone that makes the portion look large, but in reality, it's just enough for a light snack. At around 9 euros, I think it's fair, since fried seafood is usually pricier. I'd recommend stopping by if you're looking for a quick snack rather than a full meal. It's tasty, fun to try, and budget-friendly by Venice standards.
