10/10The entire staff from the moment we walked in until saying goodbye made my husbands 60th birthday celebration so special!! Cristi, Gabriele, Ivan, Giulio, Wanda & Sijan all made us feel like family! They were so patient with our lack of Italian & were so attentive to our needs! The food was delicious and thanks go to the Chef, Marzio, who came to our table! The specially made chocolate mousse cake by Chef Elena was out of this world delicious!! Would highly recommend this restaurant & hope to come back some day!!

10/10Superb quality food, excellent highly professional staff with a deft humourous touch to make for a relaxed atmosphere. Spacious seating. Best meal in Venice by a long way. Book in advance as they were turning people away.

10/10We ate here our last night in Venice. The food was incredible- we went with our boys 19-23 and they loved it also. The service was top notch; beautiful setting for a nice dinner with elegant food prep and presentation. Highly recommend!

10/10We really enjoyed our experience at this restaurant while in Venice. The service was great, and the food was beautiful and delicious. One of the dishes we asked about wasn't on the menu. They, however, were happy to accommodate us.

8.5/10Everyone should experience the service at La Caravella at least once in their life. The food and ambience alone are worth the visit but the Team concept service, and joy the staff receive in treating all customers as special, native speakers or not, is truly remarkable. The staff play off each other without stepping over each other. If you are gluten free, their ability to turn what looks like a 20% acceptable menu into an 80% acceptable menu is a real treat. The Tartare di Filetto d Manzo was an outstanding start, full of flavor. Tagliolini Granseola e Asparagi and Bigoli al Ragu' D' Anatra felt large for first courses but we were only disappointed that we felt we wanted to save room for the Filettino Di Rombo Chiodata Sulla Pelle, which was light and well seasoned and delicious. Save room for the Tiramisu Caravella which you couldn't even tell had been modified to be gluten free. Outstanding wine list, with great value throughout. The Pieropan Soave had more than enough depth to pair with all non-dessert courses. Try their vin santo with dessert. Mille Grazie La Caravella.

6.5/10From Tripadvisor reviews and the fact this restaurant is situated in the 'expensive area' of Venice (directly opposite the Giorgio Armani shop), we expected an enjoyable meal. My first mistake was ordering a bellini on arrival. As Venice is where this cocktail originated, I expected them to be able to get this right - after all, it's just prosecco and peach juice, right? In fact I have never had a bad one - until I came here. I don't know what type of peach juice they used but it was terrible, so much so that I couldn't even finish the drink. The staff then got our starters order wrong, 3 times. They didn't apologise but instead tried to make a joke of it (badly). I ended up eating my starter well after the rest of my family had had theirs so they were sat around twiddling their thumbs while I ate and I did the same whilst they ate. The mains were fine, not memorable, desserts were uninspiring but my husband decided to try the souffle (to be told the flavour on the menu was not correct (chocolate) as "it is impossible to make a chocolate souffle because the cocoa fats in the chocolate means it will not rise" (so why did they list it on the menu in the first place?)) Instead they served a vanilla souffle with an amaretto sauce. The souffle had barely risen and was over cooked - it had the texture and flavour of scrambled egg custard. The staff's attitude throughout was verging on sarcastic (don't think it was a translation issue), they seemed to feel the need to try to make a joke of everything, unnecessarily and inappropriately. Needless to say, we paid and left, never to return - very, very disappointing.
La Caravella • Owner
Dear ms. Lauder, the Bellini was prepared by our Il Caravellino Bar, famous for its aperitifs and cocktails, and luckily we just got a review saying it was great, which confirms their professionalism. However, if you didn't like it, you could have informed us and we would have definitely suggested doing it again or it wouldn't have been billed. As far as the starter is concerned, we believe it was difficult for it to be wrong three times while regarding the souffle, it is usually a dessert much appreciated by our guests but again, if you did not like it, you could have informed us. The kindness and professionalism of our staff is usually praised, and they probably kept joking because someone at your table was playing along otherwise I don't think they would have continued after the first joke if they realized it was not appreciated. best regards marianna serandrei - owner

6.5/10They seated us near the door, where there was a lot of noise from people coming and going from the hotel, hand dryers in bathroom. Everyone else seated toward the back. ??? The food was not bad, but not great.

9/10The food was superb from start to finish. The service was excellent. The only issue we had was the seating of a large family group so close to the smaller tables when there were other areas available for the family group.

8/10Everything was really good, it was a present from my work colleagues for my retirement, the only downside was when we were presented with the bill, and we gave the the maitre d' voucher gift and a credi card for the remaining ammount, the maitre d' wasn't pleased as he said we should have given it to him when we entered the restaurant, we felt uncomfortable in the presence of other diners, whilst he took his time to sort it out, If they are willing to run a voucher gift scheme, they should state on the voucher that it should be presented on arrival, not embarass the customer when presented at the end of the meal, Overall, the service and food was excellent

10/10We had a lovely table in the garden. It was a special dinner and we enjoyed the food and ambiance. My husband and daughter had fish, my son had the steak and I enjoyed my pasta. Desserts were wonderful. Starters were small but delicious. We were happy they were generous with the bread and yummy butter.

10/10Great restaurant tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Venice. Set in a walled garden, spacious and relaxed atmosphere. Waiters were great, friendly and helpful and tailored food to my scallop allergy. Had a bottle of champagne, 2 bottles of rosè, starters and mains and other drinks less that 500 euros for 4 of us which we thought was really reasonable for the quality and service. Highly recommended!
