My brother told me that I have to eat here. I tried it the best day and was not disappointed. The pasta and duck sauce were perfect. The best pasta ever. We can stand there and eat the food. They told us not to close the little, cute container because their pasta is best consumed immediately. Love it! read more

I LOVED THIS. Perfect for a day inside my hotel room. This with a bottle of prosecco was perfect to escape the crowds and rest my sore ankle. Rotini pasta with duck in a to go container seems so wrong but tasted so right. The pasta here is better than most sit down places in the states. And it's a pretty big portion for 10 euros. Just wild. I would have eaten here more often if I had stumbled across it. read more

the spaghetti bolognese was nothing exceptional but maybe I just got the wrong one since the other two people i went with seemed to like it more. it was 30 euro for three people to eat, with prices for the menu items ranging from 8-10 euros, with the vast majority of them being 10 unless you want bolognese for 9 or just plain tomato sauce for 8. they also charge a euro if you want cheese on your pasta which I don't really appreciate or think is fair. its not like you are getting a huge serving or anything for the price you're paying so it would be nice if they could include the cheese. also there is no where to sit once you have ordered, just counters that you can lean on while you eat and there is no bathroom even for paying customers. it works if you're in a pinch for food and don't want to spend a lot but its not somewhere I would say you must try. read more

When traveling Venice we noticed that their fast food options included "pasta in a cup". Of course my personal constant pasta cravings were awaken! We tried a couple of these places but this one is definitely my favorite! Not only do they use fresh pasta but you have an abundance if combinations and options to choose from. It's all really just build-your-own style which makes it enjoyable for anyone. We all chose completely different options: tortellini, fusilli, tagliatelle with completely different sauces. But really where could you go wrong? Each cup is made to perfection and steaming hot! But keep in mind to eat it right away. They even tell you NOT to close the lid and save it for later. So be sure to enjoy it right away! The only thing that would make this better is if they were open later. After a long night drinking at the bars, pasta in a cup is all I could dream of. So be sure to get there early before closing! read more

Discovered this place when searching for some fresh pasta in Venice. It was a bit of a challenge to find down a small zig zag alley. The shop is small but food is fresh and affordable! The menu is translated into a few languages - very tourist friendly. I had spaghetti because it was marked one of the fresh pastas. It was €6!! What a bargain. I like that it comes in a take away box so you can eat on the go. You can add some grated cheese on top (upcharge) for a cheesy treat. The food was cooked up fresh to order and ready in minutes. It stayed hot on my walk around Venice. The two people behind the counter were very friendly and spoke beautiful English. My food was top notch! Grab some fresh pasta here and eat along the grand canal for a relaxing afternoon in Venice. read more

This is a great restaurant for a quick, tasty, affordable meal. It's part of an Italian restaurant chain, but honestly, it was better than several of the other meals I had during the three days I was in Venice. Granted, I was prohibited from going to the pricier place due to budget constraints, but surely, We Love Italy offers more authentic food than many of the other tourist traps that are all too abundant, especially around San Marco. The setup is similar to that of Qdoba or Chiptole, you pick a pasta type and a sauce, then add any extras. My girlfriend and I split a Carbonara and a Pesto, both of which were solid. There's a couple of stools to sit on if you want to eat there, but otherwise, you'll need to leave, which is perfect as you can grab a cheap bottle of wine from a grocery store and sit near one of the canals. TLDR: Solid, cheap food, that is superior to much of what you'll be offered at higher price points in much of the city. Good for people on a budget. read more

This place was great for what it was- quick, fresh pasta for those on the go- frequented by tourists and Venetians alike. Pick your pasta shape, then pick your sauce/flavor. I got the panna e fungi (mushroom!) and my husband got the carbonara. The textures of the noodles was awesome, and flavor pretty good, but there wasn't actually any "goodies" in either pasta- no peas or ham in Eric's, no mushrooms in mine. Still, the price and convenience was right. Other items such as paninis and salads are options, too, as you can see on my menu photo. There is very minimal seating area. Plan on grabbing and walking, maybe a good snack to eat in St. Mark's Square. Staff was friendly. I'd certainly recommend this for a quick eat, and as an American tourist, it was kinda fun to treat an Italian fast casual chain. read more

Friendly staff and cute little place tucked between the tiny streets of venice. It offers a make your own pasta experience where you choose the noodles and sauces you want. Basic sauces like 4 cheese and bolognese are.6 euros and anything extra like.a duck or squid.sauce is between 7-8 euros. You can also get gnocchi as your pasta for 1 extra. The pasta comes served in a take out box and you can eat it standing up there at their shelves or take it to go. The place can vet quite busy but the staff always have a smiling face. They also have drinks.including wine and bellinis to go and a few desserts. I tried the gnocchi and bolgnoese. I knew ahead of time the gnocchi would be nothing to write home about but it was actually quite good for fast pasta. The sauce had a decent amount of meat to it I just wish it had more. read more

Really loved this place, heaven for veggie ppl. They serve some amazing wraps, pizza and pasta and salad. We tried the wraps and pasta first which were quick to come but really delicious. Even though we had special dietary requirements ( couple of ppl in our group did not eat garlic, which is the basis for most italian sauces), the owner took her time to kindly explain us our options and giving her suggestions on what works and what doesn't so that we wouldn't butcher the authentic recipes. The wraps were good, and the pasta were delicious. Especially the pesto sauce. We even had the pizza with tomato sauce and veggies. The place is right next to the ponte di rialto bridge, barely 100m walk, tucked away at the end of the road, but not too hard to find. read more

Delicious and convenient. You pick your pasta, sauce, and toppings, almost like a chipotle for pasta. Pros: They are open while many other places close between meals, the prices are affordable, it's extremely fast (they boil the pasta for just three minutes), the employees are friendly, and the pasta is well done. I found the pasta at their competitor (Dal Moro's Fresh Pasta To Go) a little too al dente, but We Love Italy's pasta was just right. There is no place to sit, but they have a little bit of standing room if you want to stay indoors. I went twice during my visit and wish I had one back home. read more

What better way to spend it than wandering around Venice and enjoying dinner at Rossopomodoro? They're still in the "Italy training program" and these menus tend to confuse them, so after three weeks here I felt obligated to guide them toward the promised land. After much studying, debating, and staring at menus, it was finally time to order. I went with the Tagliatelle alla Bolognese, and the wife and I shared a salad. When that salad hit the table, it nearly stole the entire show. We drizzled on a little balsamic vinaigrette, added a shake of salt and pepper, and suddenly we were ready to dance right there in the alley. Fresh tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, crisp greens--every ingredient tasted like it had been picked that morning. It was outstanding. The pasta was very good, but today the salad was the undisputed champion of the meal. Of course, dining outside along Venice's busy walkways only adds to the experience. Watching people pass by while enjoying great food is one of those simple pleasures that makes Venice such a special place. Rossopomodoro delivered a fantastic meal and a great evening.

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!!

The malai kofta was excellent, but only came with two (yes, two) "meatballs" for lack of a better term.

Samosas are somewhat disappointing. The owner is a bit gruff, but I'm willing to believe it's because he didn't seem to know much English. He's also not the first waiter to tell us "no" when we order something with no further explanation.

I was looking for some authentic pasta in Venice. Most restaurants are super pricey, and I wanted something more affordable. I came across this restaurant called "We Love Italy." First off, I really liked the name. As soon as I entered, the ambience was so welcoming, with strings of pasta as decorative pieces. Although it seemed like a takeout restaurant, there was accommodation for people to stand and eat their fresh hot pasta. The menu was very simple to understand and had an English translation, which I very much appreciated. I tried two types of pasta. The first one was pesto with fusilli. The turnaround time was five minutes, and the pasta was hot with a good quantity. They also had additional seasonings available. I added some extra garlic powder, oregano, and a dash of olive oil to enhance the flavors. It was fresh and authentic, packed with flavors. I also tried the Pomodoro sauce with fusilli pasta, and it was delicious as well. The server was very sweet and made sure I was comfortable. Overall, this was a great experience. I highly recommend checking out this restaurant if you're looking for authentic pasta at an affordable price. It's not a regular sit-down restaurant, but it's definitely a great place to try authentic food. read more

Unfortunately, this restaurant…read moredoesn't take reservations, so we arrived just a little after 7, and didn't get seated till a little after 8. So we waited for about an hour before we got seated. So keep that in mind, if you're trying to eat here. There are also not a lot of tables here, so if you have a large party, you will definitely be waiting a long long time. We got some of the fried mozzarella to share, which was pretty good! I also got a little serving of mushrooms that were doused in oil. They were pretty tasty! For my main dish, I got the pesto pasta, and my wife got a pasta dish, but I can't remember which one it was. It was good though! My pesto pasta was excellent!!! I am normally not a fan of pesto, but this dish was excellent! It wasn't an overwhelming taste of pesto like how it can be in some dishes. It's a pretty popular dish here as well. I saw a few tables that had it when we went to our table. All the food was great! Bacaro Quebrado isn't an expensive restaurant at all. Everything is very affordable, and they don't make you pay so much. The portion sizes of our pasta were pretty big too. We sat inside, but there are a few tables outside. It's the kind of place, where you sit wherever you're seated, because they don't have a lot of space to accommodate your preferred seating. I would definitely come back here if I ever found myself in Venice again in the future.

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.
