Bistrot de Venise

We stopped by for lunch — chose the restaurant in advance after looking through the menu, which stood out with its interesting and refined dishes. We were looking for something beyond the usual tourist fare, and it definitely delivered. The food was excellent: well-balanced, flavorful, and thoughtfully presented. Portions weren’t large, but everything felt deliberate and well-composed — you can tell there’s real attention to detail. Special thanks to the staff. Service was polite, attentive, and never overbearing. A particular mention goes to Fabio and Giuseppe — both were incredibly kind and made the atmosphere warm and relaxed. A great spot if you're looking for a calm, high-quality lunch in the heart of Venice, with a focus on flavor and care. Air conditioner!

Once you taste the cuisine at this restaurant, you’ll understand why it earned a Michelin recommendation. I planned a special surprise for my mother and reserved the romantic menu for her, knowing her love for roses. The experience was exceptional, with impeccable service that made the evening truly memorable. Each dish was introduced with clear, thoughtful explanations, adding to the anticipation. The welcome drinks were delightful—fruity, refreshing, and perfectly balanced. The scallop dish was a standout for me; it was cooked to perfection and paired with an addictive, flavorful sauce that elevated every bite. The ravioli was equally impressive, its unique filling complemented by a rich, well-crafted sauce. The beef fillet was another highlight—tender, succulent, and cooked to a flawless medium, just as we requested. For dessert, we were treated to a delicious creation with a harmonious sweet-sour balance that left us feeling refreshed and satisfied. Before we left the restaurant, the staff presented us with a sweet plate.

Easily the best meal we had in Venice. Staff were incredible, very attentive and knowledgeable, always checking on us and up for a conversation. Atmosphere was beautiful with classical music completing the ambience

Their promise of historically Venetian ambiance and meals is not only authentic but deeply elaborated on throughout the dining experience. Each individual aspect of the food is explained, cultivating a meal into a holiday experience. The waitstaff consists of knowledgeable individuals, in addition to their sommelier with well expected and delivered expertise. Some foods that I have regularly brought me near tears, and other foods that I was set on never trying again, I consumed every bite with speed. Could soup is normally a turn-off for me but, their gazpacho was out of this world phenomenal. The lamb chops were, as well, otherworldly. The wine selection is not what I was expecting but, it was somewhat extensive, they just did not offer any of the Italian wines I was hoping for. Regardless, I found those wines and this place helped me to perceive my trip as a once in a lifetime experience, even as an individual moving near Venice in a year. This is not a place you will regret going to but, be weary as the bill can add up quick!

I visited here for both lunch and dinner. The cuisine was not only of exceptional quality but also beautifully presented with artistic flair, showcasing the finest culinary traditions of Venice, enhanced by their contemporary interpretations of classic Italian desserts. The service, however, was the reason I HAD to return. David provided thorough explanations regarding the preparation of each dish and the origin of the ingredients, demonstrating extensive knowledge of the wine selection. His recommendations from wine to dessert options were all on point.
