Marco was a fantastic host! We really enjoyed talking with him about food! And speaking of food, this guy knows his way around the kitchen! Everything there was exceptional! It was the best dining experience we had in Venice. I highly recommend visiting Bacarretto if you have the chance. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed!

The focaccia starter was absolutely amazing!! The food and wine were both delicious, for sure a gem in the city. The ambiance is very family friendly, so do not be surprised if there’s kids around. If you have children- this is a lovely place to bring them! Overall, I highly recommended eating here at least once- seriously so good.

Lovely Sicilian food in a cosy, intimate setting. Very different from standard Italian food to date.

Bacaretto was a breath of fresh air in a crowded city. The food was home made, amazing, delicious, and beautifully served. The hostess made everyone feel right at home, and it could not have been a better meal. Highly recommend!

Excellent service and hospitality. It’s a place where you can comfortably dine even with children. Although located in Venice, they make it clear from the start that it is a Sicilian restaurant, which is a nice touch. As expected from Sicilian cuisine, dishes featuring pistachios, almonds, and sardines are highly recommended. However, I found the food to be slightly lukewarm overall. Travelers might not necessarily need to go out of their way to have Sicilian cuisine here.

The food more than equals the passion of the family that owns the place, and it is well worth the visit. We greatly enjoyed their pasta alla norma, and the caponata is a showstopper. They accommodated a dietary restriction within our party, and it was without any fuss. We'll be discussing this meal for a while.

What a wonderful place to eat! The food and drink was amazing. The host and staff were so friendly! I highly recommend gin and lemon.... and what ever the special of the day is as it will be fresh!

We enjoyed this friendly Sicilian place so much that we returned a couple of nights later. The short menu offers a few starters, a choice of pasta and a couple of meat and fish dishes. There are also a couple of daily specials. They have a small list of Sicilian wines. I particularly liked the Grillo with my pan-fried swordfish and broccoli. Whatever else you order, you should try the caponata. The smoked tuna with burrata was also great. The service is friendly (I heard them speak English, French and Spanish quite happily) and the pricing competitive and transparent. This is a great address in a city with many dodgy places and they really deserve to succeed.

Food was good, but we thought the pasta was too al dented, but that is a personal preference. the two biggest problems for us were that the restaurant was too hot and they were way understaffed. and even though they were understaffed, they kept setting up table outside. We got decent service but there was another couple that after 25 minutes without getting any water. Meanwhile the male waiter in their area was sitting with a another table and flirting with them.

A hidden gem in Venice: small menu with super fresh ingredients, friendly staff, cosy interior. We had the focaccia, polpette and smoked tuna, kids had the pasta al forno. All were superb and delicious! Would recommend this little restaurant to anybody.
