    Food was just okay, lamb rib special portion was served with 4 small bits of potato which is stingy Also don’t appreciate being brought the bill when I haven’t asked for it and still have half a glass of wine to finish

    Great food and service, we sat outside on a table right by the canal which was lovely. Calamari was the best!

    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.

    A lovely spot and the staff was super friendly, greeting us warmly when we arrived. We got a table outside by the canal and it was cozy and quiet. Joni, our waiter, was smiley and friendly and kind. The food was good. We would be happy to return. (We didn’t remember about the discount unril we’d left and they didn’t bring it up).

    Delicious food and wine (and bread); great waiter (Erickson.....who isn't Venetian, by the way, but incredibly attentive and fun!) Very local casual place - but one of the best meals we had in Venice. We'll make a point of returning on our next visit!

    We were promptly seated and we ordered and antipasto of calamari and julienned vegetables . I had Spaghetti with seafood and my daughter had the tagliatelle with squid ink. We shared and it was divine! My husband had a carbonara and he loved it. We also had a perfect tiramisu’ to end the meal. Really lovely meal!

    We passed this restaurant when it was closed and thought it looked nice, so made a reservation. When we arrived, we discovered that the atmosphere was not what we expected with an open grill bar next to the tables with several guys cooking noisily behind it. and very loud and obnoxious music. Nonetheless, we persisted and ordered two courses. Neither course was good at all and we only ate a small port of the second. When the waiter picked up our plates and asked if it was "good", we responded "not good" and he then had a tantrum, demanding to know what was wrong with it. When we complained about the noisy atmosphere, he then told us that we should have walked out when we walked into the restaurant and we wish we had! After we asked for the bill, he then came back to the table three more times to argue further, until we asked for someone else to bring us the bill, which they did. We strongly recommend that you avoid this restaurant for all of the above reasons!

    The waiters were incredibly helpful and polite and extremely friendly! Great hospitality and a welcoming smile. Food was spectacular and the ambiance was infectious. Would go again in a great city full of lots of people and restaurants. Get the homemade tiramisu even if you aren’t a fan. It’s worth it.

    This is a great restaurant buried in the depths of the less trodden parts of Venice. We wouldn’t have found it with Google maps and even then we almost walked past it. The food was really good and not only tasted great but was presented really well. Portion sizes were good and overall this was a really enjoyable at a reasonable price in the centre of Venice.

    I found this place by searching for the best Calamari in Venice. But this was not the case; I was disappointed in the portion size. It is a small restaurant, and we found it via the back alley. There were two secluded tables, which was nice.

    The food was excellent. Everything we ordered was very good, including the appetizers, pastas and main courses. The grilled seabass was outstanding. It was also very hot and uncomfortable in the restaurant. They do have air conditioners, but they were not able to do much about the temperature, which was too hot. Also, even though we had reservations and confirmed them twice (via email and phone), our table was still not ready when we came and we had to wait about 10 min. However, the food really was very good.
