A piece of Venetian history. After La La Fenice at the Venice Opera House, this is the ideal spot, as it's very close and you can enjoy the artistic atmosphere of yesteryear. The flambéed crepe is incredible and perfect for sharing. It's expensive, but worth it.

This is a classical and elegant establishment. People watching and drinks on the plaza was superb. Eating inside after the sunset intimate and tasteful. The staff are extremely professional. It was lovely to be served on the right, cleared on the left. All questions were answered well, with wit and charisma. Our cocktails were spectacular. Even my mother's request to have her ice on the side for her scotch was honored with grace. The wine menu exceptional. We went with a $60 Valipicello that was fantastic. Our meals were very good. I had the lobster pasta. It was good, but I would suggest some experimentation. Red pepper or vegetable in there to break up the traditional feeling of the food. Desert however was just as spectacular as the drinks. Tiramisu, and grapefruit sorbet with strawberries were the stars of the night.

My salmon was terribly overcooked, dry, and dense. The sides were okay. Same for my husband’s dinner.

The place looked nice from the outside so we were excited, but the tortelli had an off-putting funk (and no sign or taste of pancetta?) and the monkfish pasta was just okay.

We saw great ratings and reviews before getting a reservation at this restaurant in Venice. Turned out everyone was right - great place. My wife and I loved our food and the staff and the whole feel there.

The chateaubriand was overcooked. We realized forward to it. And the squid and polenta was extremely salty. The pasta and appetizers were good.

Despite requesting an inside seat, they initially tried to give us an outside seat and took some time before finally giving us an inside seat. Later, we noticed that all families with children were placed in the inside corners. We ordered a half bottle of wine, but they came back and asked if we would drink a full bottle as they only had bottles. Reluctantly, we ordered two glasses, but they didn’t even serve the standard 125ml, and the price was almost the same as a half bottle. The food was just average. We visited to dine before a performance at La Fenice, but it was a bad experience.
5.0
The food was good, perhaps slightly above average. The service was horrendous, starting with the waiter that came to our table and didn’t say a word and just held his pad out, waiting for us to say something. No greeting, no introduction, nothing. Next was we waited 45 minutes for two simple pasta dishes. That might not be so bad in a true fine dining experience, but in that 45 minutes, not a single person approached our table for anything. we were served some hard cold plain breads at the beginning of the meal, and had to ask for some olive oil or balsamic or something. My wife needed to use the restroom and it was absolutely filthy. That never makes you feel good about the food. The topper was the bill. Not only was the pasta extremely overpriced, but they added a surprise 10% service charge to the bill, which I do not recall seeing anywhere on the menu. Regardless, that’s just a bait and switch on menu prices. Just raise your prices so I know that I’m paying €30 for a simple pasta. Never again….

Easy to find. Nice and quiet area with not lots of foot traffic. Could easily have a conversation during your meal. A little interesting history with a secret backdoor that staff will show you upon request. Excellent food, experience and service. Highly recommend it. 5 star.. I'd Give 6 if I could.

Best dinner we had in Venice by far. Food quality was excellent, great variety and presentation. We also had a baby, and they were very accommodating and prompt when appropriate. Would highly recommend

The location is amazing, hidden in a beautiful little square aside from tourists, in one of the oldest buildings of Venice, perfect service and very good choice of wines. Highly recommend.

Beautiful relaxing restaurant with delicious food and meticulous service. All of the staff is professional and friendly. We had a wonderful meal and I highly recommend. Even good recommendations when we were undecided. The price is above average but great value.

4.5
Reservation for 2 but my partner was ill so I was alone. Placed at a very awkward table. I was not able to enjoy the Christmas dinner because it was for 2 people and I was one. My hotel told me I would get a discount--I didn't get it. Food very ordinary. Very very expensive. Not recommended
Taverna La FeniceDear, Thanks for his time spent in our restaurant for such an important day. We are sorry that he did not like it, but if he had underlined his dissatisfaction of the moment to our manager we would have tried to improve his dinner. As for the discounts affiliated to hotels, these must be communicated before the account. We hope to have you our guest in the future to make them change your mind. Best Regard F&B Manager Taverna la Fenice

After a long day of exploring, we were starving and was recommended this Restaurant so I booked 10 mins before via google and the waiter tried telling me I did not make reservation and was very rude about it. Then aggressively made our table. Not the friendliest group of waiters. Food was good and restaurant was nice.

Very beautiful and romantic restaurant next to the theater Fenice with an excellent service. A haven of peace in the busy Venice. Very good quality food but small portions for the price.
6.0
Excellent location and settings, the food was also good with a nice selection of food and wines. Unfortunately the service was terrible, we order a spritz and a cocktail with the starter and we never got them. Every thing that was going through the bar took literally hours. Than at one point the barman stopped working.
8.5
This is a nice restaurant near the Theater. Outside seating is wonderful. Food was good. We enjoyed the restaurant. The dessert was a little disappointing but they have a nice seating area for drinks. After dinner we enjoyed excellent bar prepared cocktails in the evening.

What a great find in Venice! A high-end restaurant on a quiet square right by a historical theatre, with historical-feeling decor to match. The outdoor seating on the square is gorgeous and was just the perfect al fresco meal for us Venice visitors. The menu was abundant with choices, and we enjoyed prosecco, the eggs + asparagus, mushroom pasta, Venetian risotto, and more. We would've stayed longer for dessert and a cocktail but it began to rain. The service was impeccable. Do make a reservation and stop here when in Venice!

The food was divine and the staff were amazing. They congratulated me and my wife on our pregnancy and even gave us an extra treat at the end of the night to wish us good luck, and because one of their wives was also pregnant. Definitely book ahead to get a seat outside, but 10/10 would recommend. Can’t wait to come back again!
