Pesto pasta was excellent and exactly the right proportions. The tiramisu was classically made, creamy, with notable espresso notes.

Went here tonite and had the best burrata for appetizer and then ordered the fish of the day which happened to be sea bass which we love. Waiter brought out the whole fish and we thought oh no i hate bones in fish but before serving , he filet the fish so perfectly and with a spoon! So so fresh tasted like it was just caught! It was served with delicious medly of veggies and potatoes and kalamata olives. Service was great and wine was great!

Really good find. In a busy square but at the end and worth the walk. A family run restaurant and you could tell they really cared about food they prepared. Every course we had was excellent and would highly recommend a visit.

The scallops were very good. The octopus with potato cream was slightly disappointing and rubbery. We were seated outside but would have preferred indoors and we became very overheated. Service was excellent.

Best meal in Venice. Very attentive staff. The ravioli stuffed with sea bass was amazing. We enjoyed sitting outside in Venice's 2nd largest square. Very relaxing watching Venetian children and families go about their daily life. If this wasn't our last night in Venice, we would go back tomorrow.

6euros for stale bread which we didn’t ask for. Very small portions of food and wine

buona sera. ci dispiace che ti andato male la serata. ma il pane non lo facciamo pagare a nessuno e non e scritto a nessuna parte un prezzo per il pane questo e un discorso troppo basso. lei si deve informarsi bene cosa voldire coperto prima di sedersi in un ristorante. la ringraziamo molto per il suo opinione.

This restaurant was rated highly on Tripadvisor so we went for it. It was fantastic! Every bite of food we put in our mouth was perfect fresh prepared. And we ate a lot of it! The service was exemplary. Our waiter was knowledgeable, friendly, and had a fantastic entertaining personality. The manager Marco spent a lot of time with us and he was funny and told fantastic stories. I have been traveling for three weeks through Spain and Italy and this was definitely our best meal. The fish was perfectly fresh from the market that day. We had four different kinds of fish and oh boy it was fantastic! The food was beautifully presented on the plates and it felt exquisite. There was a chill in the air, but we wanted to sit outside, so Marco brought us luxurious blankets to cuddle into. At the end of the meal after three perfect desserts, including my chocolate ball that was set on fire, they brought out a very nice lemon cello as a treat. It was fantastic.

Restaurant without a sign to locate. Intimate nice decorations in nature concept. Good for a date or inviting fancy guests. Quite expensive especially looking at the meat positions. The beef was dried , i can do better :) salmon ok. Not really worthy, wont come back

The Garden Bistro provided our family of five with a fresh, delicious and relaxing meal. The service was excellent from start to finish, accommodating a person with allergies and wrapping a takeaway dessert. The portions and quality were as expected. The atmosphere was pleasant, peaceful and friendly. Well delivered at a fair price and worth the visit.

Had been looking forward to this unfortunately food was very average and service slow on what was a very quiet night. Better places to spend your money

A lovely little family run restaurant in a beautiful square away from the hordes of the tourist hotspots that is worth a few minutes walk, as in return you will be greeted with a warm welcome and treated to a delicious meal. We had the Sea Bass Ravioli, Spaghetti vongole, both were well cooked and served hot, you can tell they have been cooked fresh and to order, the chef can be seen from some seats, and shared a delicious panna cotta, all accompanied by a good red wine which was great value. We will definitely visit again when we’re next in Venice. Marco the waiter was great to chat too and very helpful. Looking at the dishes others had everything looked great.

This was by far our favorite restaurant during our stay in Venice. The food is outstanding, the service is excellent and the atmosphere is cozy. In our experience, Garden Bistro's high rating is well deserved. We rarely book the same restaurant for a repeat visit on the same trip, but in the case of the Garden Bistro, we made an exception. We enjoyed another outstanding dinner on our last night in Venice.

Definitely recommend as the food was absolutely superb, the waiter charming and helpful, and the atmosphere lovely. If we weren’t leaving today we’d be back again. The mixed starter was divine, pasta delicious and the tuna steak heavenly!!

Very good food and service. One of the best meals my wife and I enjoyed in Venice. Pleasant and friendly atmosphere. Cheerful and welcoming staff. It was also possible from our table to see the work in the kitchen and happy to report it looked good!

A gem in Venice, we booked the table and when we arrive we were very welcomed by the owner, the service was 5 stars and the food was amazing. A place that you must visit in Venice.

This restaurant was a big disappointment for us. The staff didn’t speak English at all. We ordered fish, which was cold and the portion absolutely did not correspond to the weight and price they quoted.

Our reason for dining out is having an evening of good food and a pleasant ambience. it was very unfortunate that the fellow who ran the room was abrupt (close to being rude) and frenzied. It detracted from the entire experience, We were disappointed since the restaurant was given such good reviews.

Excellent little bistro in the heart of Dosoduro. Spaghetti with cuttlefish black ink, spaghetti carbonara, spinach ravioli with eggplant cream, and spaghetti bolognese were all tasty, well cooked and nicely plated. Tiramisu for dessert was a perfect end.
