6.5/10Impressed by reviews, we looked forward to celebrating our Silver Wedding Anniversary here. The food was indeed very good, though not exceptional compared to others we sampled in Venice. Wine prices were ridiculous but the two drinks we had were reasonable. The most disappointing thing was the indifferent service and the quite rude behaviour in not waiting for one of us to finish the first course before plonking the next on the table! So OK but expected much better.

Very attentive waiters, romantic ambiance perfect for dates. Food was delicious. Third night in Venice/ was already on fish overload, so I ordered the Lamb Chops craving a bit of carne. Juicy, perfectly cooked, tender not gamey at all. Perfect balanced choice between tuna filet and Florentine steak.

2/10Why anyone gives this place a good review, I blame toxic empathy. Disgusting, dirty restaurant with poor service and stinky un-fresh fish. It’s offensive. I don’t understand any good reviews. A rip off at any price. At end of meal the waiter demanded a tip ?

Our best meal in Venice. Lovely setting and food. My sesame encrusted salmon was cooked perfectly. The tuna was tender and sushi grade.

8/10Great place and good food. But I ordered grilled scampis for dinner and there was only scampis in the plate, nothing else. I thought that it was a full plate with vegetables or potatoes.. Only 5 scampis. It’s good to know that you have to order sides.

8.5/10The outside space was so lovely. The service was attentive and respectful and the food came out in a perfect rhythm. The food was good, Venetian Italian food is definitely different from other areas of Italy. But, the flavors are interesting and the presentation is lovely

The whole experience was amazing. The food was great and the atmosphere was perfect. The outstanding part though was the service we had from Nico and Stefano. They were great fun.

9.5/10The flavor of the food was excellent, well balanced and delicious. If they would remove the lobster shell and put more actual lobster meat, it would have been perfect. Clearly they know noone eats the shell, so why put it there for show, especially when the meat is very sparse for the price. The eggplant Parmesan was super tasty..

We came to this restaurant the last time we visited Venice, and it was one of my favorite meals. Of course, we had to come back on our current trip. San Silvestro did not disappoint. The waiters were fantastic, the food was delicious, and prices were fair. I highly recommend this restaurant.

10/10Nice shady outdoor terrace and delicious food. Also very attentive service. The restaurant is in the city centre, but on a relatively quiet street.

10/10The staff was gracious enough to let us arrive. 15 minutes late. The food is delicious (vegan options available)? excellent service, and I appreciate a waiter that will 1) not let us order something by mistake OR 2) makes pairing suggestions :-) The limoncello at the end was the cherry… err, LEMON ON TOP!

7/10Seated quickly with a reservation. Brought bread and breadsticks and drinks order taken. Price point quite high so only ordered a second course, grilled scampi and lamb chops. Side of potatoes with lamb and rocket and Parmesan salad with scampi. Small portions not worth money paid.
