    Cute place for a dinner. Service was great and the restaurant is in a cosy spot. Beef tartare and squid ink pasta were excellent but the steak dish (ordered medium rare) was a bit chewy and the mussels had a bit fishy flavor

    It was quite empty when we arrived, but the waiter made us feel so welcome, and it soon filled up. We shared a starter of burrata and tomatos, then my husband had the lasagne and i had a truly authentic spagetti carbonara. The food was delicious and we had a lovely first night in Venice. We would definitely recommend 👌 ❤️😋

    I went in too early and was the only patron there. The waiter was nice, but was busy with side work. The salad was HUGE, which was nice, but filled me up. The 3 appetizer dish was interesting with 2 shrimp and 2 anchovies and some bread and cheese. It wasn't what I expected and the restaurant was a bit worn down.

    Thank you very much to the restaurant staff. It so happened that we (a family of 7 people and a dog) were alone in the restaurant. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. The restaurant staff also took special care of our dog and he was fed yoghurt too! Great place. Convenient location - very close to Piazza San Marco. Next time we come to Venice we will definitely come back here!

    The place is nice and central and the staff is very kind and professional. However, it was unfortunate we had a bad sewer smell for the whole time we were there . Also despite being in Venice it’s still overpriced !

    Charming Atmosphere and Delicious Food at Osteria al Vecio Forno We recently dined at Osteria al Vecio Forno during our visit to Venice, and it was a truly lovely experience! This charming little place perfectly captures the warm and inviting atmosphere that makes dining in Venice so special. The food was absolutely delicious—authentic and prepared with care. Every dish we ordered was fresh and full of flavor. From the pasta to the seafood, everything was cooked to perfection, and the portions were generous without being overwhelming. The ambiance of the restaurant was cozy and intimate, making it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a great meal after a day of exploring the city. The service was friendly and attentive, adding to the overall pleasant experience. If you're looking for a place with both good food and a welcoming atmosphere, Osteria al Vecio Forno is a fantastic choice. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Venice!

    Over familiar service on arrival and subsequently ignored when we didn’t order a three course meal. Mains were ok but not exceptional, drinks well made but Hugo short on alcohol compared with elsewhere. The room is busy and attractive but food and service average I’m afraid.

    Great service. Bruschetta was beyond perfect. However both pasta was too al dente. Needed to be cooked 1-2 mins longer.

    Excellent food and staff. I loved the octopus salad. This is by far the best restaurant we ate at during our week in Venice. Don’t miss the opportunity to eat here.
