La Vacaria

The food was delicious - I had the Gnocchi with duck ragu with a side of grilled vegetables, and then tiramisu for dessert. They also gave me some limoncello to finish out the meal. Service was very attentive and the wait staff spoke great English, which was super helpful. The menu had allergy information included so I had a clear idea of what I could choose from.

Amazing food and service! We came here on a Monday night. It's far from all the tourist areas, but the walk was nice and well worth it. We had the porchetta, carpaccio, lasagna, pappardelle, tiramisu, and a bottle of wine. Everything was amazing. If we had to pick one, our favorite was the porchetta Would def come back next time we're in Venice!

The food was amazing and away from all the touristy stuff. We came for lunch and had the steak tartare (made with filet mignon, salt, pepper and oil that's it) and the grilled duck. Everything was amazing especially the grilled duck, a must try along with the tartare!

We went here after googling ‘best steak house in Venice’. It did not disappoint. One of the best steaks we have tasted. We chose to share a 1.2 Tomahalk. The beef comes to your table almost raw and the waiter cuts it and places it on a hot plate infront of you so you can choose how it is cooked. We like our steak medium rare (more rare) so one hot plate was enough however we were offered another one if we wanted the meat cooked more. The waiter we had was lovely and polite and knew his cuts of steak and which ones differed from each other. The restaurant is in a place called Dorsoduro, a 30 minute walk from the heart of Venice (or you can get a water boat there. Lovely little quiet town and nice for a change of scenery. 10/10 place and totally recommend.

Phenomenal Dinner Experience! From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted by the staff — you could immediately feel their kindness and genuine hospitality. The atmosphere was calm, romantic, and relaxed, with a clear sense of care and attention to detail throughout. We ordered the Costata steak (1 kg for two) along with the Farfalle pasta with duck ragu — both dishes were exceptional. The steak was perfectly cooked, incredibly tender, and full of flavor, and the pasta was rich, comforting, and clearly made with love. Our servers, Eddie and Sam, were wonderful — kind, attentive, and welcoming. After a long flight, their warmth made us feel right at home. All in all, a truly phenomenal experience and the perfect way to enjoy our first dinner in Venice!
