Where to eat: the 33 best restaurants in Burano

The clam pasta (vongle) dish was a standout and a must have. We had so many average to poor pasta dishes throughout Italy until we reached this place. The signature antipasto dish and mixed grilled fish plates were good. Manuel our server was excellent and made it a great experience.

If there were 10 stars I would put them, 5 stars are not enough for this place!! I did my daughter’s christening and it was the best place we could choose!!! The chef, the people and the food are on another level !! The place serves every desire and exceeds them !!!! Highly highly recommended to go !! Whoever hasn’t been there MUST go :))

This place has juicy, fresh and delicious seafood! We loved the razor clams especially. My husband also loved the clam spaghetti. The ragu pasta was of good quality too. We had the traditional tiramisu for dessert and it was lovely.

Exceptional food and service. We had made a reservation as recommended and got the seafood special appetiser and risotto. The seafood was super fresh and seasoned beautifully. A very special experience. We paid €121 for the food and water.

It’s a bit pricey, but absolutely worth it - this was the best restaurant we visited during our trip to Venice. In fact, it was because of this meal that Burano became our favorite island. We had lunch here without a reservation, but the staff were incredibly kind and offered us a table in 40 minutes. The bread with balsamic vinegar and olive oil was delicious. We’re still wondering where I can find the same vinegar they use! The seafood appetizer was fresh and flavorful, and the pasta we ordered was rich and perfectly cooked. While waiting, we chatted with a lovely older couple (in their 60s/70s) next to us, who told us it was their sixth time coming back to the island just for this restaurant. I hope that one day, when we’re their age, we can return to this little island and enjoy another meal here.:)

We made a reservation here about three weeks before and glad we did. We sat right on the canal which was gorgeous. The owner came to our table to get to know us. He said that way he would know what to recommend. Because of the reviews of their rosotto we knew that was a course. Their tagliolini seafood was incredible. And when he knew we wanted that he added in an appetizer of prawns, langostini, and calamari. And of course he recommended a nice white wine for us. Atmosphere, food and friends made this an unforgettable evening. Highly recommend the food and service.

Genuinely the best restaurant I’ve ever had the pleasure of dining at. Massi was so kind and truly made me feel like a member of the family. I’d emailed the restaurant in advance to reserve a table, which I highly recommend doing ahead of time. In the nicest way possible, they had to turn away many walk ins because they simply didn’t have the capacity. I was seated in the back garden, which felt like its own little slice of heaven. It was quaint and made me feel there was not a worry in the world. The service was so special. I was greeted with a glass of white wine upon arrival (not sure if this is standard or because this was a kind gesture for their being a queue at the host stand) and was visited multiple times by Massi and another waiter to ensure everything was to my liking. I ordered the clams to start and the fish as my main. Both were fresh and flavorful, and they filet the fish table side for me so that I didn’t have to pick around any bones myself and had the fish presented in such a memorable way. The food, service and atmosphere were all impeccable. I live halfway across the world and can’t wait for the day I get to return here again.

Wonderful food and experience. The risotto was one of the best we’ve had! A must try. We also had the mixed fish grilled and fried. You can taste the freshness of the food. Delicious all around.

Great restaurant in Burano. Shrimp risotto and calamari were both great. Really enjoyed the calamari as it was a perfect amount of breading and had great flavor w lots of meaty pieces. Came for Lunch on a Sunday and no wait to sit outside (inside was pretty empty). Outside service could use another waiter as I could tell the two working there were very busy.

Da Romano is more than a restaurant: it’s a Burano institution. Four generations of the Barbaro family have run it since Romano turned his bottega into a trattoria around 1920. The walls are crowded with paintings, a legacy of the artists who dined here from the 1930s onwards. The food lives up to the history: a wood-grilled plate of sea bass, bream, monkfish and prawn (8.5/10); a briny-fresh frittura mista of Adriatic fish and vegetables (8/10); and the signature risotto al nero di seppie - deep, poised, umami-rich (8.5/10). Tiramisu was lighter, coffee-shy (7/10). Bussolai biscuits, meringue cake and a rare santonego grappa closed the meal - rooted in Burano, straight from the lagoon.

A charming, classic restaurant with a refined, old-world atmosphere — walls adorned with vintage photographs and paintings, waiters serving with true gentlemanly grace. The menu offered a wide selection of traditional dishes and wines. The risotto, though a bit mild in flavour, was cooked to perfection, while the fish was simply outstanding.

Had the most enjoyable lunch at Italy yet A great restaurant with 100+ years of history This particular gentlemen, assisted us for lunch and we really felt the pride and joy he has. Risotto was good Lemon Meringue was good Food was perfect. Most important the people, would recommend you to come !

We took a water bus over to the island of Burano to eat at a local restaurant that has been in the family for 4 generations, since 1920. We heard about it from Anothony Bourdain, where he went nuts over their seafood risotto, which has been made the exact same way since they opened, passing the recipe down the family line. When they first opened they just served fishermen and lace makers, but now the island is popular with tourists. On the walls of the restaurant were many famous people who had eaten there, including Robert De Niro, Keith Richards, Charlie Chaplin, Sylvester Stallone, Jane Fonda, and a very long list of other famous people. The risotto was pretty good but my favorite part was the lemon cake with meringue, it was without a doubt one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. It might inspire me to make more meringues. The sea bass was good but expensive. If you’re staying in Venice a few days then you should get the multi day boat pass, it’s a lot easier and more economical.

A hidden gem on this island - the warm staff made me cared for, the food was unforgettable, and the atmosphere was the perfect mix of elegance and comfort. I truly hope to return one day :)

The Risotto Di Go is pure perfection. The sea bass and scallops were amazing. The service was everything! Slipped us to grab her name but we remember that the dishes we had are her mom’s recipes so I’m assuming she is the owner but nonetheless, if you read this, just know you are an absolute gem and the sweetest person. Thank you! Zoom into the window on the photo of the restaurant to see the nicest hostess smiling for the photo!

A very charming family-run place where you’re greeted with a smile and genuine warmth. The staff are friendly, and the seafood is exceptionally fresh and delicious — perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Definitely a place I’d recommend! 🐚✨

Friendly family run restaurant. Very efficient service. A few sisters run around entertaining guests. All very friendly. The owner is also a fisherman and serves catch of the day as daily specials. We had the baked brim with potatoes. The mussels were super fresh and the vongole had a generous amount of clams. The sauce and flavor was spot on. Wished I had more spaghetti to mop up the sauce. Top 3 meal of my Italian trip.

What a wonderful family run restaurant serving fresh seafood from nearby waters. Each dish is explained in detail with love. Each dish was fresh with new flavors we never had before.

Waitress was nice, and seafood spaghetti was also nice. Unfortunately carbonara was a disaster - it was basically pasta with scrambled eggs and no taste of real carbonara... and it was expensive, I've had much better carbonara for 12 euro, this one was not worth even 8 euro (and it did cost around 16 euro) Pasta itself felt like something you can get at every store. Overall the dinner (2 pasta dishes, 1 beer and one drink) cost us 57 euro, but it was all worth maybe 40 euro

€3 Cover Charge – As explained by the waitress, the cover charge includes the bread placed on the table (whether you eat it or not) and a few other items. Even she, as a local, pays it—so it’s not just a tourist thing, so they claim. For my appetizer, I ordered an assortment of sliced meats (€18), followed by a house special not listed on the menu: seafood lasagna (€22). I also had a glass of white wine (€9). I initially thought the wine was €5, but wine isn’t exactly my area of expertise—perhaps I ended up with a different pour. Ignorance is bliss? The meats were solid. The seafood lasagna was tasty, but the portion was noticeably small—especially compared to the generous pasta plates I saw being served around me. To be honest, photos of the lasagna elsewhere looked more impressive than the one I received. Service was warm and attentive, and the ambiance was pleasant overall.

We had such a lovely lunch here with our two children. The staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely kind. The food was outstanding - my husband had the fresh catch of the day, recommended by the owner, and it was fresh and perfect. I loved the local preparation of liver, while our kids happily tucked into grilled scampi and a seafood platter. Every dish was delicious, and the atmosphere made us feel so welcome. We left very happy and very much hope to return.

We enjoyed our lunch here in the sunshine. The food was delicious and the chef had a very light touch. We tried the sardines, calamari and one of the pasta dishes with tuna. Unfortunately, some of the dishes weren’t available that we fancied from our first choices bit the ones we had didn’t disappoint. The desserts were good but didn’t excite as much as the previous courses. We also had the Prosecco which was lovely. The service was fantastic, first class, and really attentive without being overbearing.

The prices were too high for what we got. The portions were small. The seafood pasta had so many tiny clams that there was barely anything to eat, although the taste was good. The steak came with just a small side salad and wasn’t enough to satisfy even my child — he left the table still hungry. The fish dish was also quite small. Overall, the food tasted fine, but the portion sizes definitely didn’t match the prices.

What a delightful spot! The food was absolutely delicious, and the place has a charming, upscale vibe that makes it feel special. While the rooftop was closed on the day I visited, the views of Burano’s bright, colorful houses were still stunning from the restaurant. Perfect for a relaxed meal with a beautiful backdrop. Highly recommend it for anyone visiting this vibrant island!

Best carbonara I have ever tasted! Service was excellent as well. Very reasonable prices for an amazing experience. The meringue for dessert was perfect too.

Delicous food, amazing view and lovely friendly staff - was nice as a brit to be able to speak in italian and not be responded to in english, but to be appreciated for making the effort. We had the carbonara from the specials board and the fried squid/vegetables and it was delicious, perfect portions for a scorching hot day and delightful view of the canal and coloured houses.

Pizza was not long enough in the oven. One of the weakest Pizzas I have tried in Italy. The 18 Euro for the sardines was too high for the portion size (see picture). Fish was ok but not seasoned. Pasta with butter was good and a decent size.

This restaurant was recommended to us by our tour guide. The service was outstanding. Our server recommended a great bottle of wine and was very helpful when we were deciding on what to order. The food was probably the best we had in the 10 days we were in Italy. The risotto di "go" was delicious as was the special appetizer of artichokes and scallops. Highly recommend.

Came here with a group of friends on vacation (6 total) and had an amazing, memorable meal. Our waiter Alvise was kind and so fun to talk to, making our experience in the beautiful garden space even better. We loved everything we ate including the tartares, red sauce pasta, lamb chops and gnocchi. The chef is Sicilian and has created wonderful dishes in addition to the Venetian cuisine. Truly the best sorbet (rosemary and strawberry) and cannolis of our lives! Come here and you’ll be taken care of.

This restaurant was recommended by our hotel and we booked about 6-8 weeks ahead for dinner for our first night in Venice. It was by far the best restaurant we ate at during our 4 days in Venice. They offer outdoor seating but I preferred the warmth and atmosphere of the indoor area. If you do eat outside, be sure to check out the wall of bottle openers! The food was incredible from start to finish. The wine was phenomenal as was the presentation when we were served our chosen bottle of red wine for the initial tasting. Ended with grappa to aid our digestion which hit the spot! It is right off the main area tucked away so it is not as busy with tourists. If you are looking for traditional Italian cuisine in a quieter area with great service, you will not be disappointed.

Excellent food, beautifully plated! Kind and knowledgeable staff. Great wine selection and the interior garden is beautiful and peaceful

honestly the food is 5 stars and one of the best meals of the trip. however, it was pretty pricy and got bit by mosquitoes after the sun set hence the one star deduction. eggplant dip: top tier tuna cracker: also delicious gnocchi: must try! so flavorful and perfectly cooked

This is a place my wife and I went to in 2023 for our honeymoon and have thought about coming back to constantly. I took a picture of our food here, forgot to save the places name, and therefore spent over an hour scouring images of restaurants just to find this place and come back! And I was successful! The service is so friendly, and it truly feels like a place where you only see the locals go, and they know what’s up. They seem to change the menu frequently, but if you get lucky enough to have the octopus as a started, then go buy a lotto ticket. The gnocchi were literally the softest we have ever had in our two trips through Italy. I don’t mean like soft and gummy like- I mean soft like you are cutting into ?pillows? Kind of texture??? The sauces are perfectly seasoned, and the portion for the prices seem really fair for the quality and freshness of the ingredients

Beautiful presentation of the food. Quiet street off the beaten path. Homemade everything. We had the potato gnocchi with scallops and shrimp and the spaghetti with tomato and basil. Appetizer of grilled octopus with potato and honey onions was fabulous. Get a street table for lunch as the interior garden is too sunny. If I am ever back in Venice I would come in the evening and ask to sit there. Cost is worth every penny. We did not add drinks to our estimate.

Was recommended by hotel but it was a terribly experience, particularly compared with other local Trattoria we’d been to. Host was not welcoming (which we put down to poor English skills which seemed strange based on other places) and the mains were terrible. We had lamb and a pork main off the standard menu. When they arrived they were the wrong way round and we said that, but they could distinguish between the two ! We did based on taste. The mains were no better than canteen food and no way worth the 25 euros for lamb and 18 for the pork. It was a very disappointing evening. I’m sure if we were Italian it would have been much better.

Stopped by for a quick bite during my tour after reading a review about their squid and pistachio gnocchi. I sat inside and the waiter explained to me the squid and mussel gnocchi which wasn’t on the menu was great too. I took her recommendation and when my food came out I was very disappointed. I wish I took a picture to include in this review but it was soo underwhelming that I didn’t think to. It was the smallest portion of gnochi with I promise maybe 2-3 tiny pieces calamari squid and mussels.. I couldn’t even consider it an appetizer and it’s just so crazy to charge 20 euros for this. I’m not happy and go to pay after 2 minutes and they try charging me 25 euros which I object with them telling me since I got 2 seafood in mine for that price point. I was appalled and ended up paying 22 euros for including a cover charge when they did absolutely nothing. The woman manager or owner who was attacking me saying it’s outrageous of me to not pay 25 euros and that I was not ordinary. I’ll leave it at that but please eat elsewhere there are other restaurants nearby that will not treat you like this and steal your money. The food did not fill me up at all and service was honestly disgusting. **Responding to their comment, they did not provide me with bread or croutons or whatever they are claiming, such a blatant lie I promise, wow.

Great food, was very surprised. Looks like a cafe, but the food was top-notch. Didn’t have to lineup when I went at 12, but got very full by 12:30z Highly recommend. The scallops were meh, everything else. Good!

Every time I go to Burano I have lunch here! The chef is always super kind and the staff extremely helpful and nice even on busy days. Food is just amazing. As an italian born in the area: this is the real thing!

A lovely spot! Great coffee, delicious cakes, friendly service.

Stopped her for lunch during a tour of Burano. Some of the best seafood we have ever eaten. Highly recommend.

My family and I were hungry when we arrived in Burano so I searched for restaurants near me and Osteria Al Fureghin popped up with good reviews. We ordered the salmon salad, pasta with tomato sauce and pasta with meatball sauce. All the food was delicious! The salmon mixed really well into the salad and had no presence of a fishy taste. The pasta stood really well on its own and with the addition of Parmesan cheese. I was definitely really pleased with our dishes and the servers were friendly as well although they spoke little English. I would definitely recommend eating here. No complaints here!

Really liked that seafood mix. And location was perfect. Ravioli with shrimps was also good. Homemade white wine was ok, but not that great as food but it’s totally depends on person’s preferences.

Not bad. It was semi good. Nice location. My pizza was done well but my girlfriends as so much. The environment was nice. Our waiter was kind. The atmosphere made up for what the food had lacked. Not ecstatic they charged 3 euro a glass for ice. It’s a nice spot for a quick eat for lunch when you are visiting Burano.

I highly recommend the Spaghetti allo Scoglio! One of the best we had during our trip to Italy this summer. It also happened to be rainy when we arrived in Burano, the service staff quickly put up the awning so that we would be sheltered from the rain.

The owner is very welcoming, but the food...not so good...sorry, the pizza dough is very good, but the toppings were subpar. Also, before deciding to eat, be aware that there's a cover charge of 3 euros per person.

Went for lunch on 22nd march and was recommended the squid ink pasta. After having 2-3 pieces I noticed that the texture of the squid was completely off. Every piece of squid was mushy and if you have eaten squid before, you should know that regardless of how it is prepared, it’ll have a slight chew to it. Not to mention the fishy taste the squid had. When I brought this up to the staff, they just played it off as this is how squid should taste like. The other dishes we ordered were just average. I wouldn’t recommend visiting but if you do, just avoid the squid ink unless you wanna try mushy squid. EDIT: I might have mistook the “local” cuttlefish for squid, but the videos still show the low standard of food served by your restaurant. I’m sure your reply will sit well with any potential customers searching up your restaurant 👍

We stopped here 3 times in 2 days. The second day the staff recognised us and we felt like family. Pizza was delicious, beer was wonderfully cold, Aperol Spritz was strong, and toilets were very clean. Nice view and staff were very friendly.

Not a cheap place but pizza was delicious. Paid 40euros for these two pizzas. there were four of us, but we didn't know that we had to pay 3 euros per person for sitting at the table. So 12 euros +28 for pizzas.

Great location, table along the canal with pretty flower boxes and swans. Service between the two outdoor waiters was good. Ordered the Fried mixed seafood/fish and the Spaghetti Al Busara with scampi. Both were excellent. Seafood was all very fresh. We also enjoyed very much the glasses of Prosecco Rosé Brut, and Cabernet Sauvignon.

I had the best Fritto Misto of all time! Even my husband who never eat fish or seafood said it was fantastic! I highly recommend this restaurant! The staff is also super friendly and attentive! Respect! You contribute to many people's memories and great experiences!

While visiting Burano we came here for lunch… They have amazing service and a very nice menu, offering all the popular local, Italian dishes. The food we tried was made with very fresh ingredients. Their salad misto to start was excellent, especially when sprinkled with salt & pepper and then EVOO and balsamic – YUMMMM!!!! Next up was to try their table bread, the knotted bread was so soft on the inside and tasty – loved it! For entrées we tried their Ravioli di Carne Bianca and their Fusilli Pomodoro e Stracciatella – Both were fabulous! The ravioli was incredible and that buttery sauce was so tasty! We also ordered a side dish of their fries and those were incredibly tasty, crispy, and fresh! Highly suggest stopping in here – Great Eats, Service, Décor, and Flavors!!

A really beautiful restaurant. The staff couldn't be friendlier. A great selection of local dishes with an emphasis on seafood. We had a great cuttlefish and shrimp with candied celery salad too start. Spaghetti with clans to share was delicious. Finished with sea bread (orata) and cuttlefish in ink with fried polenta. Also had a nice local lager beer. Highly recommended.

Great location right on the main square! The second floor is cool and comfortable with air conditioning. The food was amazing—especially the seafood spaghetti. Jacopo, our server, was super friendly, fast, and helpful. Manager Carlo was warm and attentive. One of the best service experiences I’ve had in Venice!

Loved everything about this restaurant and after spending a week in Italy I have to say it was my favourite meal. Try the spaghetti with anchovie sauce... Omg .. Packed with flavour! The clam sauce was a close second and the sardine appetizer was delicious. Highly recommended and a food highlight of our trip.

Great restaurant in Burano - Vongole tasted ok, clams were smallest size that we ever had tho - mixed fried seafood was great just a bit too salty, better with a squeeze of lemon and their tartar sauce Great service and clean toilet!

Fantastic food and great service, we ate here on our last day of a long weekend in Venice and while we selected all our restaurants beforehand very carefully this was still by far the best food we had. The pasta dishes were outstanding and everything tasted extremely fresh and of high quality. Thei wine selection was fabulous as well and all within a reasonable price range for the area. Definitely recommend anyone to go there!

Pizza here was just excellent, maybe the best I had in Venice. Highly recommend the Campagnola with pepperoni onions and mushrooms it was really well made. The atmosphere during the day along Burano’s main canal was lovely and the staff was efficient.

What a refreshment! One of the best Hugo Spritz I had during my vacation in Italy. Nothing could’ve been better but a couple of glasses in hot and colorful day on Burano. I would have definitely tried the food, but I had to hurry to catch the boat back to Venice! Great service! Fair price! Thank you guys!

Yesterday we had lunch at Ristorante Pizzeria Principe while visiting Burano. We walked past several places, but this one stood out because of the colourful umbrella shaped covers over the outdoor seating. We grabbed a table and looked through the menu. They offer plenty of choices. Here is what we ordered with our personal ratings Margherita Pizza rated 3/5 Fish and Chips rated 2/5 Both dishes tasted below average. The pizza was dominated by the tomato sauce and the fish lacked crispiness and tasted a bit bland. The service, however, was very good and the staff were polite.

I ordered seafood lagsana and the flavor was pretty good. At nice weather eating outside was perfect choice. I chewed lot of seashells in lagsana, but still the floavor was more than good. Recommended for people who traveling alone or who prefer nice scenery. However, that's quite obvious that some of servers need to change their attitude.

Don’t even hesitate to go there. It’s excellent! I wanted to order everything. The staff were so nice and welcoming, the ambiance was amazing, and everything was just perfect!

The Margarita was wonderful! Beautiful interior. Missing one star because they don't accept AMEX.

Everything was super tasty — you can tell it's made with care. Thank you so much, will definitely order again!

The only positive I can add is that the portion sizes were generous. Apart from that all dishes were lacklustre, basic and not well presented. Menus came in all languages (which should’ve been a sign!) and waiters were not particularly attentive. Not that good value for money either.

We had lunch at this restaurant. The food is excellent. The service is very fast. And we were served by Agosto who was truly kind and cheerful, with his beautiful mustache! We highly recommend trying the seafood dishes, as it’s one of the island of Burano’s traditions. The homemade Prosecco is also excellent. A place to recommend in Burano! Many thanks again to Agosto for his kindness and great service. Grazie mille !

Food: Ordered the seafood risotto and seafood pasta, both cooked in white sauce (basically aglio olio). Average or decent at best, the ingredients used were clearly not fresh - prawn had abit of a stale taste and the mussels were not opened properly. However, the portions were decently sized and adequate. Service: Had the pleasure of meeting the most wonderful server! Asked him for any recommendations to eat since we simply chanced upon this restaurant, and he gladly showed us a menu with pictures and pointed to what were the best sellers. When he pointed to the picture of a risotto with mussels and clams and other ingredients, I asked if that was the “risotto with fish broth”, an item on the worded menu priced at €18. He said yes. Happily thinking this was a reasonably priced item, I happily ordered this dish. Imagine my surprise when the bill came and I found out that the risotto dish was €25 (the same price as the pasta dish)! I raised this to another waiter, who brought over the waiter whom I placed my order with. Perhaps this waiter’s speciality is not customer service, as when faced with my confusion over the pricing, he simply stated that the risotto was the same as the pasta i ordered, and it was my fault I didnt ask the price. There are two things I disagree with. Firstly, the item i ordered was not on the menu with words, but only on the menu with pictures. Why is this so? This seems like a sneaky underhanded way of charging customers a few euros more for some mediocre dish, and its not appreciated. Placing the onus on your customer to ask for the price for an item not even on the base menu seems unfair. This, coupled with the fact that when I asked if that was the risotto with fish broth (to which he replied with a resounding yes) says alot about their tactics. Secondly, there seemed no appropriate way to solve this. While i insisted that he replied yes to my earlier question about the risotto, his only reply was to keep saying that “no, i told you it was the seafood and mussels”. Fact of the matter is that he didnt, and his tone carried no indication that he was apologetic or seeking to make amends. Rather, he was insistent and stubborn and the end result was a staring competition that culminated in me paying. Funny anecdote: When he gave us the bread for the table and left, I called after him to ask if they were able to give us butter (he was still close by). To my amazement, he glared at me with such ferocity for a split second I thought I had accidentally cursed at him, before he remembered to put on his customer service face and accede to my request. Wasnt too annoyed by this but found it hilarious instead. Perhaps my bill will go towards sending this man for customer service training and communication classes.

Tomas was a great host who suggested the spaghetti with white sauce and sea food it was ammmazzzing We also enjoyed a guitar player with a great voice

Wonderful restaurant, amazing food and great services. Fried calamari and pizza are awesome. I wish I could come back one day ❤️

I just loved the risotto di scampi. And the service was so great. Highly recommend!

This was easily the worst food we have had our entire trip in Italy. From the poor quality in taste, smelly washrooms, no eye or vocal contact from the person presenting our check, our group unanimously wished we had totally skipped this place! And it was a fairly quiet day!

The food here is good in quality and variety, but the food was already cold when they gave us. The staff are friendly. Also the price is reasonable. U can fill your bowl with any sauce u want. The dishes are made of bread and u can eat it. But they do not have any other kind of bread.

Perfect Spot for a Quick Bite – Loved It! This isn’t a restaurant – it’s a street food bar right in front of the water bus stop, and we absolutely loved it. We didn’t have much, just a cold big beer (very refreshing) and cold water – both exactly what we needed. But the real highlight? The best Venetian bruschettas we had during our stay. Juicy, full of flavour, and topped with a generous portion of delicious ingredients. Just perfect. Ideal spot for a quick nibble before heading back to Venice. Highly recommended!

a great place to take a quick snack to walk around the island. we ordered a fried crab and a fried fish, both very good. not the most healthy, of course, but still good. the plate i had for the fish was also edible, it tasted like those bread crackers, kind of hard to bite but tasty

Fast fried seafood counter on Burano Island. Very convenient because it is right at the Burano Vaporetto Station. We shared their mixed fried seafood platter. It was good snack to keep our family tied over until dinner. BTW, even the edible bowl which came with the Frito Misto was tasty. It tasted like a Polenta Cracker.

Please don‘t eat there. I ate Fritto misto and a few hours after that i had to throw up.. the fish is not fresh. Don‘t eat there!! And the food was cold!! Never again!

It's very nice to discover this place after you've explored Burano and want to eat something delicious.

Nice break with perfectly prepared Fritto misto. Really reccomended if you are on Burano and waiting a little bit longer for the ship.

We had the set menu. 20euro for 2 main course, one side dish and one dessert. And we loved our food.0our food were so delicious and finely cooked. Just the dessert I didn’t like it was tiramisu but with lots of alcohol taste.the waiter was not that friendly but we enjoyed our food and the value of the money

If you're looking for a place with a restroom and air conditioner but don't have much expectations for quality service then I highly recommend this place! You will be charged for service regardless of the performance 🤡. Though English is printed on the menu card DO NOT expect basic english from the staff. Staff will nod their head instead of confirming the order so you'll have to be proactive with your fullfilment and the added thrill is something priceless. Good thing they serve bread and crackers as an entry because 25euro will not get you filled, which I suppose should be expected with such small competition. To end on a positive note I highly recommend pasta as it seems reasonably priced and delicious.

Excellent spaghetti with meat sauce. Polite and friendly service. We sat outside along the canal with a nice breeze. Indoor seating looked nice too. Important to note, there is a 3euro service charge per person.

Spent a day in Burano. Ramy was our waiter and was excellent. Attentive and fun. This restaurant is lovely , next to the canal. Food lovely. We had a light lunch. We tried “sarde in saor‘ delicious and of course n Aperil Spritz.

Honestly the best food that we had in Venice!!! The waiters could pay more attention to the customers but other than that they are nice. Totally worth it for the food!!

I don’t usually do reviews unless I really feel something, and honestly, the food here just wasn’t good enough at first. I had to return well done Entrecote, though they did replace it and second was good. Still, I felt really uncomfortable afterwards — got unfriendly looks, like everyone was staring at me. On top of that, the bill had an extra 6 euros, probably for the bread we didn’t order (we assumed it was complimentary). I didn’t understand the language well enough to question it, and honestly, I just wanted to leave so i did not ask what was that 6 euros for. Overall, not a great experience.

Loved this charming restaurant in Burano Island — cozy atmosphere, delicious local dishes, and the friendliest service. A perfect spot to enjoy authentic Venetian flavors by the colorful canals!

Delicious fresh seafood and pizza. Highly recommended. Reasonable prices. The staff seemed a bit rushed.

Despite the charming location, our experience was quite disappointing. We waited 40 minutes for a starter and then another hour for two pizzas . While guests around us were receiving their meals promptly, we were still left waiting. Unfortunately, I can’t recommend this place. The pizza was average at best, and the local fish starter was just as mediocre.

Very good meal! We had pizza, great prawn (scampi) and pasta

The food is great, fresh and tasty. Service seems a little laid back, seems normal to have the service charge, but I feel this allows the staff the lacklustre approach to service. Not just here but throughout the island. Could do with upping their game a bit, they turned away at least three tables of customers as we were sat waiting for the bill and then to pay. If you’re going to charge for service, then provide it.

We were recommended this place by our tour guide, with whom they likely have some sort of commission-type of relationship. The food was good but the service was unbelievably slow. We had 1hr40mins to explore the island before the next leg of the tour. 20 minutes had passed and nobody had serviced our table, whereas all other tables already had their orders taken and food delivered. We had to wave to get their attention. When the food eventually arrived, we had to rush through it, leaving us with just 30 minutes to quickly explore the island. We regret choosing this place to eat as a result of this and feel like we were deliberately singled out. If you’re recommended this place by your tour guide, please keep in mind the risk of a slow service impeding upon your ability to explore the island in a short space of time.

We had some really good pizza and cocktails on the patio

Do not let the name fool you. There is NOTHING sports bar about the place other than a soccer jersey hanging on one wall. Skip the pretentious reservation only o er priced and under quality nearby cafes and enjoy the walk ups. Sports bar has very friendly staff and great seafood and pizza options. Prices are also appropriate.

A Burano tour group restaurant. Food is mass produced for groups and served with large platters. I have to say the food is generally slightly above average. But I guess to get the best dishes you need to order off the main menu. A tip here would be to check what your tour leader is eating.

Bit dissapointing. Lovely location. Fish was very good but Pizza was not great. Good carafe of house wine. On top of pizza looked and tasted like tinned mushrooms, pizza base looked store brought... not good when in Italy.

Randomly picked this place for a quick bite during our Murano and Burano tour from Venice. Staff were very friendly. Prices were very reasonable. Most importantly, there was AC!!

This was a restaurant. Mark the American, the best tour guide in Venice brought us here. Try the fish soup, it's the best.

Wonderful service, beautiful good, great location. Beat prawns I have ever had in my life. Highly recommend!

We only been to the restaurant as part of a group of 50. We were there for a 2 hour lunch, enough said ? It’s a seafood menu, had like 5 courses it was great

Came here with a Trafalga group and honestly the food and portion sides were alck luster for the price. Id avoid

Excellent food and wine, friendly staff. The entire menu is gluten free, and there are a lot of vegan options. After a few weeks of travelling this was one of the more enjoyable meals my girlfriend and I had. The staff was excellent with their suggestions of wine to pair with our meals. A hidden gem outside of Venice!

We were absolutely delighted! The service was outstanding and the food simply wonderful. My girlfriend and I both chose the classic menu with wine pairing, and it was perfect — we left feeling pleasantly full. The staff were incredibly friendly, explained everything with great care, and even checked in about allergies. We also had a lovely conversation with our waitress (or perhaps the owner) about Venetian sweets and pastries — she shared so much with us. And we learned something new: cannoli are not Venetian! 🤫

I had the chef special risotto and seared tuna with broccoli. Risotto is creamy and well balanced with fried capers. Tuna is so fresh and is sashimi grade. All ingredients come from a farm nearby and chef has made a point of simple but sophisticated taste. Well done!

Beautiful meal! Excellent and knowledgeable service. Interesting flavors, exquisite combinations and locally grown vegetables. All in all a great modern Italian restaurant with passionate owners. Highly recommend

The best vegan and gluten-free food in Venice! This place is a hidden gem, offering a fantastic variety of dishes and culinary styles. Everything from starters to desserts was outstanding. the vegan starters were amazing, and the burger was out of this world. Definitely 5 stars!

Designated Gluten and lactose free kitchen! Best food i’ve had on my trip through Italy so far. They’re well knowledged about all allergies and want to give you the best experience! You get a free starter and bread, maincourse is explained and dessert optional!

Very good food. Taste natural

I sat inside due to the cold weather & feel the terrace is probably nicer. Friendly service - I ordered immediately but my order took about 15 minutes to appear. Coffee & tart were nice, but overall a long wait. I thought they had forgotten about me!

Poorly rated but I was amazed by the quality of food. Fresh and tasteful. Love the pizza and risotto!! The sea bass was a bit salty and potato was undercooked but overall it was fine.

Decent restaurant. Nice enough staffs. Little space inside, you'll probably want to sit in the terrace. Charge heavily on the drinks (e.g. 3.5 EUR for a Cola), however I guess it's like that everywhere on Burano. Ordered a pizza for two, just for a very quick bite as we were not too hungry. The pizza itself tasted really lovely (albeit a bit small) but the thing it: unbeknownst to us, they charge 2 EUR/person more for "table fee". A family of 4 or 5 will be charged 10 EUR more for eating there instead of taking away!

Okey welcome by nice female waitress. Okey Pasta Carbonara. Not very big portion. Had Valpolicella to it. Good wine, but not very much in one glass. Overall medium rating. Nice place by the small square. Guess they don’t need to perform better as tourists keep coming anyway.

Gelato is average. Much more of a sweets place. Lots of sweet options, and definitely good for when you have low blood sugar or a child that is close to a melt down. The staff are friendly and the prices are okay. Nothing to write home about.

The waiters are very nice. But the food is lite. I ordered a spaghetti with clam, it was so lite. My friend ordered spaghetti with inkfish, which was also lite. Besides, we have also eaten a dish of seafood. It tasted good. It costs about 20 euro per person with drinks.

GREAT ESPRESSO | AVERAGE PIZZA | TOURIST TAX We were hoping to go to Devil Pizza who were unfortunately closed for the holidays. With a hungry child on the arm we had to make a quick plan and Du & Zo was it. The host was really friendly seeing to it that we had blankets and that we were settled. The food although it arrived in good time, it was really average. I was hoping for more for the price. The espresso I had after the meal was probably the best espresso I had while in Venice. Unfortunately I too was caught out by the €2 tax per person and it's a shame no one mentioned that prior to sitting down. Ultimately €21 for 2 margaritas and an espresso (plus tax) seems a bit steep

Maybe I expected too much based on previous reviews but I got disappointed. Food was eatable but nothing more. I have not found taste balance or interesting combinations. Caponata was so-so, not bad but I do it better at home. I missed flavour and texture. Aubergine was soft , almost liquid, celery had the same texture. Not enough olives to make taste a bit more interesting. Appetiser with shrimps and sardines (said of the day, 18€) - sweet polenta with overcooked onions and only 3 small shrimps and sardines. Shrimps by itself were good, but other part of the dish is soo questionable. Like sweet porridge with boiled onions and seafood. Carbonara- ok, tuna - too much of salt , way too much, mashed potato - unexpectedly sweet and unfortunately almost cold. Pasta with see food - ok but a bit oversalted. Complimentary bread was sour and had weird texture. Menu was supposed to be available with qr code, but it didn’t . Other version of the menu (see photo) is good enough for the cheap kiosk with burgers but not for the serious restaurant. 2 appetisers, 3 main courses, bottle of wine (33€) - 140€ before tips.

As someone previously mentioned, because of the amazing review my expectations of this place were super high! But unfortunately it disappointed in almost all levels. Service was very slow, we waited 30 mins to get bread or a menu even though some tables arriving after us got menus instantly (we asked 3 times for menus) food took waaaaay too long to arrive as well. Vegan options while available, are very few because the kitchen can’t really make alternatives (I asked if they had basic grilled veggies and was told it wasn’t possible) my mom got a vegan tomato pasta which was really good, but was probably the only thing. I got the “chickpea pie” which is deceiving in the name as it was just a giant falafel that was very undercooked, but the name itself made it seem like it was a pot pie with chickpeas or something. The views and atmosphere is stunning though I have to say!!

Food was amazing, the atmosphere was incredible! The staff(unfortunately, didn’t ask her name ) recommended us the Lugana wine, which was an excellent choice as well. I will give the restaurant a 5 star :) We were outside, enjoying the canal and listening life jazz music. Everything was perfect!!

Wow this is amazing an eco restaurant with beautiful products and a very good bite. The food is amazing and very good prepared. Taste is amazing and the staff can support you very well. Enjoy this wonderful menu, next to the canal in a quiet area of Venice. Come to ease and think about your awesome day of Venice at this restaurant. Thanks again for the service and we will return and enjoy your wine and food.

Really delicious vegan pasta options. The best vegan pasta dish I had in Venice. The service was exceptional and the atmosphere sitting outside was perfect, romantic with a lovely view of the sunset.

Found this after coming to Venice every year for ten years apart from Covid! Glad we did. We had aperitifs then the lasagne and a glass of wine in the small restaurant space at the front. The food was delicious but the highlight was the move into the jazz club at the back where we enjoyed just under two hours of excellent jazz music from the house band consisting of piano, trumpet, two saxophones, guitar and a great singer. We came out buzzing. I just hope more people take the trouble to find this place, it’s worth going off the usual tourist route for a great evening’s entertainment.

The riverside spot and the jazz music are worth the visit. Usually I'm very easy to please but the food I had that day wasn't very pleasant. They have vegan/vegetarian menu which is great I would ask just for more seasoning. Maybe other foods are better, the bread and wine were good.

I like this restaurant very much. It seems run by a family. The food was authentic, the pasta was al dente and the fish filet was fresh, both dishes were full of favour. Furthermore, the food presentation was very pretty on the plate. The tiramisu was real good made with cream cheese and the sponge absorbed the coffee favour. Peoples were very nice and happy to help. In general, I highly recommend to try this restaurant instead of those on the Main Street fall into tourist trap.

The food was lovely, definitely somewhere to eat if you visit Burano. If you come in by boat, turn the opposite way they tell you to in order to find this gem. The staff were so welcoming and friendly, and were ready to direct me to where I could buy some more of the biscuits made in Burano!

To be honest, we didn't expect to eat so good in a tourist place, yet we were surprised positively! Our table was outside , beside the canal. Amazing spot! The food was very good! We tried typical Italian recipes, which they were cooked with care. The panacota dessert was amazing!

This was the best meal my husband and I had on our trip in Italy. We ordered octopus, linguine with clams, and sea bass. All the dishes we had were fresh and flavorful. The food was equally matched by the friendly staff. They were warm and welcoming to every customer. The owner was attentive, greeted everyone with a smile, and said goodbye with a wave or handshake. This place is a gem in my book!

Tucked away from the main street is the most amazing place to eat. The food is delicious, the staff are happy, friendly and have great stories to tell if you take your time to listen. It’s authentic and probably one of the highlights of our Italy trip.

I found here what I can call a small place, but with a very welcoming staff and excellent food. Ever since we sat down at the table, we received breadsticks and warm bread from the house. Very good octopus salad, excellent salmon pasta, and I've never eaten better fritto misto anywhere. Keep un doing good work guys 👏

We came here due to the recommendations on Google and it was so worth it. I had the pasta with zucchini and shrimp, so good. The house red wine was delicious and my son had the steak and he enjoyed it. Beautiful views as well.

Delicious food, welcoming and attentive wait staff. The caprese salad was amazing. I was there on the early side, before the lunch crush.

We had a fantastic dining experience at Ai Pescatori in Burano! The restaurant has a welcoming atmosphere, perfectly blending authentic Venetian charm with friendly hospitality. The food was outstanding — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The seafood was especially memorable, clearly prepared with care and using the freshest local ingredients. Every dish we tried was delicious and captured the essence of Burano’s culinary tradition. The staff were attentive and warm, making us feel right at home, and the service was excellent throughout our meal. Combined with the lovely setting of Burano, it made for a truly special experience. I would highly recommend Ai Pescatori to anyone visiting Burano — whether for a relaxed lunch or a memorable dinner, it’s a must-visit spot!

While it was nice to have something gluten free to eat, the pizza was okay. The mushrooms are definitely from a can, giving an off taste. The gluten free crust is better than some, but worse than most.

Great service, we had some calamari fritti with Aperol under the sun and was just perfect... Environment, staff... Price for value is very acceptable. I really recommend it!

Among the varied restaurants on the main drag of Burano…this establishment was appealing because the dishes appeared fairly priced for tourists. The staff were kind and service was prompt. The food was adequate..not terrible!

Got a table for drinks, they forgot to bring our sparkling water and 5 minutes after getting our drinks they started closing, taking all the tables around us while we were sitting in the middle. By the end we were sitting by ourselves in the middle of the street like morons. They should inform that they close in 10 minutes instead of taking our orders and then rushing us

We were treated badly here. The woman staff showed us a small table in a dark side even though the restaurant was almost empty. When we tried to ask her to change the table, she shouted at us and told us to stay there. Her attitude was so rude and she talked down on us. Don’t go to this place if you expect to get nice service.

Had a lovely, last minute dinner here after a day of exploring the Venetian islands. We had seen that a lot of places in burano was closed so weren't expecting to be able to have dinner, then we stumbled on this little gem around the corner. Simple, traditional Italian foods with extensive language translation menu and a great variety of drinks. Some locals were also sat there too so we figured we'd give it a chance. We weren't disappointed- good portion sizes, extremely reasonable prices and flavoursome food. Delicious drinks - their aperol spritz was one of the best we'd had across 4 islands. And the Hugo spritz was divine. Forgot to take pics of dinner so took them of our empty plates instead ha! Waiting team were pleasant and friendly. Would recommend for sure. It is not a fancy upper end restaurant, but it is a good one, it served us well and I'd return to try other dishes now, so it's not to be overlooked! Thank you 😊

The Pizza is fantastic! And also reasonably priced. Very friendly and professional staff. If you want a dinner or lunch in Burano, here you get a great deal amongst all the other tourist restaurants. Highly recommended.

Very pleasent experience: 1. Very tasty pizza; 2. Nice and clean place, where you can enjoy your meal; 3. Very friendly and helpfull staff; 4. Decent time to wait your order; 5. Decent prices. Cons: 1. You should avoid the toilett, it was not clean and is very small;

The restaurant had two very unfriendly waitresses, which negatively affected the atmosphere and overall service. The pizza was decent but nothing special.

Very nice, good food and friendly staff!

Don't go anywhere near this place!! Waitress is great, but the owner/manager is smug and condescending about the less than average food which is lazy cooking from the 1960s at its worst. An obscene insult to Italian cooking and ingredients, the object of the exercise is to put people off Italian cooking for life, whilst simultaneously emptying their bank accounts for the privilege! If I could give a minus score then it would have been a pleasure to do so... I am asked on here if I had breakfast, lunch or dinner - this dross does not qualify for any of them

Food is nice. Environment is pleasant and clean. Staff is friendly I also shocked with the low rating. This is the best Italian food I have in Italy so far

This has to be the worst experience in Venice. For context, I am a black people professional who frequently travels. My experience here was nothing short of racism by 1 particular person working here. There is an older lady serving here who had an extremely bad attitude, she dismissed my partner and I twice when asking for a table by saying "no" and walking off, so had to ask the other waiter whom politely mentioned were fully booked but could make a reservation for half an hour. When we came back we were seated by the same lady reluctantly who said we could only order from 1 page of the menu which I found strange, however when served by the other waiter he discussed various options on the menu.... Overall the food was very bland, the mussels were basically deep fried shells with no meat inside, not the best place to eat but on the day it was the only place to eat.

So many places in Venice the owners and severs are mean or just have a resting mean face (maybe it's tourist frustration?) This osteria the servers were so happy and delightful it made our Burano visit so much nicer. We asked for all seafood cichetti and they brought us 9 cichetti, 2 lemon sodas, 2 spritz and a water which came out to 51 euro. Honest price for Venice and the cichetti were very tasty. An awesome stop.

We had the gnocchi with shrimps that was in the day menu and the baccala in tecia con polenta and also 2 very tasty aperol spritz. The food was very good and seemed fresh. The location is very nice and it can get a little croudy sometimes but the view it’s worthy

Nice little spot for a quick snack when visiting Burano. There seemed to be a mix of both Italian-speaking customers and tourists. Staff were friendly and spoke English. There's only about 4 tables inside with the remaining tables on the patio. Washroom was clean and spacious as well.

Running out of money by this point on my trip so I opted for function over flare…still though, the linguine was top-notch. Perfect spot for people watching and really friendly staff. Not sure what the blue stuff is though!

A really good restaurant with authentic Italian cuisine. The service was attentive and friendly. It was a lovely experience and definitely worth recommending

We tried the local pasta with fresh seafood. It was great experience. Outside tables provide nice shadow even in hot/sunny day and the staff were friendly and nice. The dessert. They present it as a local - some cookies to be dipped in prosseco. That one I would probably skip - better buy a glass of prosseco seperately.

The waiters were so rude. The pasta we ate was not different that I make for myself at home. I normally don't make negative comment but I don't want anybody to have such a bad experience as us! 0/10

Run away from this restaurant. We made a mistake and didn't read the reviews. They were so nice before we ordered. Then they brought food we didn't order and started being unpleasant. We ordered Spaghetti Carbonara. They don't even know how the food is prepared. They brought scattered spaghetti on a plate, with a hard-boiled egg and one miniature cube of pancetta. Everything was terribly oversalted. As if a kilo of salt had fallen into a pot of spaghetti. When we returned the food, they were arrogant, vulgar and started throwing us out of the restaurant. And they wanted to pay Coperto=couvert. Don't worry and don't pay coperto. We only paid for drinks. This restaurant should be closed. I would like to give a rating of -50

Very rude staff, 6€ the coke is insane !! Also i understand the « covert tax » but to charge it only for 2 drinks….

This was the worse place i’ve been to in Italy. The food was little portion and the taste was not at all good. We ordered a pasta and a grilled vegetables. We had to eat something else afterwards to fill the stomach. And they charge extra 5 euros for the table. So it was almost 35 euros for nothing. The lady was also very rude.

Really bad food abd bad ambiente.The salad was dry and the Spaghetti were served like shit

Below average quality with tourists price.

The worst restaurant I've ever been to in my life.

The waiter stopped me to drink water from my own bottle, as if forcing me to buy drinks from them. Charge money for water is one thing, not allow me to use my own property is another thing. I am appalled by this unwarranted rule. No benign reason whatsoever can justify this, you either want to force sell me drinks or intentionally want to make me suffer, neither of these are the right way to treat your customer. Food tastes okay, but the service ruined it, and they charge 2.5€ for service, what a joke.

Some of the best risotto we had in Italy. The seafood pasta was loaded up with fresh delicious seafood. After being in Italy for almost a week, this was the first restaurant that was playing Italian music. Everywhere else just had American music. We were happy to see the culture and love of Italy flowing through the staff and the food. Ps props to the dj!

The food was so good, especially the desserts! Fast service, friendly staff and good cocktails :)

One of our best meals we had in Italy. The location and outdoor seating makes this a charming restaurant. The staff was friendly and are passionate about their work. The seafood was fresh and delicious and they had a great wine selection. Would recommend to anyone visiting Burano!

Found A great spot for lunch. The service is fairly fast and worth waiting for a table to become available. We had spaghetti with mussels and clams and crab gnocchi. All reasonably priced considering location.

I really wanted to go to a cicchetti bar, but my parents are picky eaters, so we decided on this spot that did a bit of everything. I went with their cicchetti tasting board. There was a cool selection of different toppings, but I found the bread a bit stale. They also tried really hard to upsell us, which was a bit uncomfortable.

Ordered the vegetable focaccia, it was terrible. The bread used was extremely dense and stale (and definitely not focaccia??) and the vegetables inside were far from fresh. We also had a glass of Prosecco and a Hugo spritz which was okay but way too sweet. My boyfriend is celiac and the gluten free kitchen was closed when we went in the middle of the day.

I'm glad that I choose to eat here. Very good food and great service. I asked for a white sauce for the fritto misto and they made something very good, and the fries very tasty. Rissoto also very good. Varied menu and good prices, also nice people!

Delicious food and reasonably large serving sizes. They had a 15eur menu (at least on the monday night we went) for an pasta, main and side and it was awesome value!

I attended Al Fontego with my partner to observe a special occasion, and the experience surpassed our expectations. The ambiance exhibited remarkable invitation and elegance. The hosts demonstrated exceptional knowledge and offered commendable recommendations. The culinary offerings exceeded our expectations, and the service was exemplary—undoubtedly the finest. The comprehensive and unobtrusive accommodation of my partner's dietary intolerances was particularly appreciated. The splendid dishes were not only delectable but also presented with flair and top-tier precision. We express our gratitude, and eagerly anticipate our return.

Piazza was dead but our food and drinks were excellent

Was a bit concerned due to the 3.8 average, but glad we ate here. The food was great, portions ample, even just getting 2nd course. Prices seemed less than other places we ate in Venice. The square had a great vibe. Felt more local than touristy. The steak was excellent.

drank a coffee there, taste was good, price was good, 1,5 € for a cappuccino. Unfourtu ately there was a construction site, so the view of the cafe was not very nice (dec 2018).

Your chance to get Italian food in Venice not in a tourist trap. Valid as of May 2024, if chef will leave, we never know what will be there. But if you are close to the date, hurry up to visit it. Everything with seafood is especially good, but, again, the quality of all dishes is oustanding for center if Venice and even for North Italy overall. House wine - kind of semi dry sparkling style is very nice: white and red and even prosecco looks like not from supermarket. But even simple pizza margarita - is best I tried in North Italy.

Delicious and fresh seafood. Especially loved the fish and calamari. We ordered the medium platter and it was generous for two people. Also loved the polenta and pistachio tiramisu. Delicious spritz and espresso as well. Friendly service, and quieter setting away from the busy restaurants/ streets.

This was the best meal of my entire 10 day trip to Italy. The fish here is amazing, very light and flavorful. Their fritto misto was amazing — best fried seafood I’ve ever had. Can’t recommend this place enough.

A Hidden Gem for Seafood Lovers! I had the pleasure of dining at AI BANKY Specialità locali di pesce, and it was truly a delightful experience. Every dish was bursting with freshness and flavor. The staff were incredibly warm and lovely, making us feel welcome from the moment we walked in.

We loved it here, the freshest, tastiest seafood and lovely service. I will also tell you a secret, order their special homemade spicy sauce. Really excellent all around, and great value and highly recommend. After being in the Venice area for a week this was one of our best places to eat.

Highly recommend the mussels and mixed seafood platter. Mussels are big and succulent. Also get their in house Banky hell sauce. Spicy but goes perfectly with the seafood. Affordable price, good food, generous portions. Highly recommend a meal here.

Any seafood dish you order here is incredible amongst the grilled and fried options. We attempted to order the sea bass but our waiter mentioned the most recent catch was smaller and recommended the bream instead. Overall, great lunch place in Burano

Lovely little place with great views. The queue moves fast and is well worth the wait as the food is consistently delicious. Staff are friendly and help with navigating the menu.

We ordered 2 pizzas, which were very good! Besides, the happy hour cocktails was bellow avarage, small and seems like have not enough alcohol, and more ice/water. And also calling it happy hour and charge 4.5€ instead of 5€ isn't a real happy hour. And of course the sign that says that there is no service charge - they do have cover charge of 2€ (that's OK), but nothing special than all other restaurants in Italy that justify the sign.

We stopped by for their €4 Aperol, which, while cheap, seemed to be missing enough prosecco. Overall, it was a pretty average happy hour cocktail. The place was empty, and we didn't order any food, but we were a bit put off by the personnel smoking on the guest terrace.

Because of the previous reviews, I decided to try this place. I enjoyed it! We sat outside, and the weather was perfect for it! I would visit again if in the area.

Scamming with drinks. You ask for normal Aperol, they give Spritz medium and ask for extra money €€€. I do not recommend coming here.

Great food and attentive service, the best pizza we had in Venice and their hospitality was amazing, serving us near closing time as we were tired from a long day of travel and making us feel like family. A great experience overall.

The food here was excellent and the staffs were friendly. overall , the food was delicious with great flavors and presentation. However, the portion sizes were a bit smaller than expected for the price. Overall, a great dining experience, but I wish there was a bit more on the plate

We stumbled across this place while walking around - essentially getting lost and being away from the weekend crowd. We had lunch here and liked it so much we went back for dinner. The place is large, full of locals and the service is prompt and professional. There is a huge range of pizza to choose from and numerous other dishes. We ordered about 5 different pizzas and they were all very good. The pie size is around 12 - 14 inches and the crust is similar to a Neapolitan style. Toppings were flavorful. The pasta we ordered was delicious and a good sized portion. They provide breadsticks for free. Prices were very reasonable and we paid 53 euro for one antipasti, two pizzas, one pasta dish, 1/2 liter of excellent white wine, and one desert. If you’re in Venice- I would highly recommend this place.

Food was mediocre at the very best. A place to rest with some food to fill the stomach at a relatively fair price. Nothing more. Too much sauce for Lasagna, too dry for risotto, and fried seafood was small portion and not fresh. The good thing was that there were actual fish chunks in risotto and lasagna, and nothing was too salty or too horrible. Okay to eat.

Friendly and quick service with pizza and chichetti. Also a legit gelato dispenser. They also have beer and wine. Order at the counter.

Amazing. Honest local restaurant. excellent tasting food, HUGE pours of wine, very very nice staff....and VERY reasonable pricing!! My family and I will be back. Thank you!

I recently dined at Cuccina Locale, Al Giardino Segreto in Burano, and while the experience was pleasant overall, it left me with mixed impressions. The atmosphere was charming, with a warm setting, but unfortunately, the food didn’t quite live up to the high expectations set by the prices. The menu had some enticing options, and the presentation of the dishes was lovely, suggesting a lot of care and attention to detail. However, the actual flavors fell short. The bruschetta, for example, came with bread that was hard and tasted stale, lacking that freshness you would hope for. The croquettes were more disappointing, not delivering the flavors or texture I was looking for. On a positive note, while the food wasn’t extraordinary, we did not experience any gastrointestinal issues afterward, which was reassuring. Overall, the experience wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t particularly memorable or worth the premium prices. If you’re in Burano and looking for a dining spot, this restaurant might work if you’re not too focused on culinary excellence, but don’t set your hopes too high.

Was on Burano for a tour and stopped in here for cicchetti and prosecco. Also had an espresso and a cookie. Staff was LOVELY. Food was good and the back seating area was super cute and quiet. Would definitely come back for what we had.

Food is nice, tried seafood lasagne and risotto, the plates can be eaten too. Atmosphere, can’t change much because of the tight space. Friendly staff.

Amazing local food with fresh meals . We had the fried calamaris and the patatine frite 👌🏼 Top highly recommend ! You can even eat the plate made out of bread. It tastes like salty crackers 😊

Great little Tapas bar on the canal. Friendly service with tasty tapas. Sitting outside in the back garden (they grow their own vegetables) in the sun during winter was delightful.

Good selection of tapas you can choose. Delicious food and drinks. We have a great afternoon here.

Good little Tapas bar, friendly staffs and reasonable prices. Hall is very small, but they have outside sitting in the back which is shaded. Very clean restaurant room.

We’ve ordered 3 cicchetti. The only good one was tuna on black bread. The other two (shrimp with onion and fried mozzarella and prosciutto are not worth it). With so much onion I couldn’t feel the shrimp but I guess it was obvious and my mistake ordering it, fried cicchetti is basically dough with a thin slice of mozzarella Coffee was good, so I place 3 ⭐️

They have garden seating. Very quiet place for a recharge.

The cicchetti with fish and cheese was THE best food I’ve had in Italy

Spent a lovely evening here after the crowds have gone. Nice courtyard, nice drinks, cicchetti, great atmosphere

we're sitting inside and saw some bread drop on the floor, next to the blue glasses. They picked them up and put them back into a bread basket. YUK! Guess it's better not to know what happens to your food sometimes.

Far from your typical tourist menu, this corner spot overlooking a piazza serves up delicious food and great service. Good variety on the menu and even entrees are well portioned. Would come back here again!

Fantastic food in the centre of Burano. We had the fried sardines (with a side of "French fries" which were fried thin cut potato, I was a bit skeptical when they were suggested but yes order these) and lasagne both were exceptionally good. The menu is in multiple languages and the waiter that we had spoke good English. There is a small cover charge (1,8 euro each) which is on the menu. This was in a nice out door setting in the middle of Burano. Easy to find and well worth the visit. Highly recommend eating here.

Nice looking place at the square, so we decided to celebrate our engagement there. At first, we read through the menu and decided to get drinks only, maybe dessert. Although there was nobody inside, and at the time maybe 5 tables occupied, nobody noticed. So we picked our seats and sat down. In about a minute or so waiter came and asked if we’d like to eat. As soon as we told him we are there probably for drinks only, he immediately asked us to move to a different area of the restaurant, as “our” seats were for lunch customers only. (No sign or obvious hint to assume such thing). As politely as he asked us to move, we stood up and left and took our business to much nicer establishment. Not surprised the place was almost empty.

So, I dined here for lunch with my two cousins when we were visiting Venice and Burano together. The food was delicious! I ate the best pasta, with the best sauce of my life! And the service was really incredible, the servers went above and beyond. However – I was really disappointed to find a hair in my food that was not my own. Once I found it, I felt quite repulsed and could not finish my spaghetti, having to leave about half of it. This was really disappointing but I am sure that it was a one off incident, and despite it I still enjoyed what I did eat of my meal.

Great food, great drinks and Great service! Very inviting of the outside seating area and wonderful seafood selections ! We stopped by to having lunch, very friendly staffs speaking enough English for you to order your meals! We hope we can visit this little island and this restaurant again!

Let me start with the warmth and happiness we received as soon as we approached the restaurant, Fabio (the owner), his family and employees super respectful and 100% attention to details. Their food is extremely fresh, from their cocktails, to their fish tapas all the way to they heart melting FIG CAKE (i wanted to steal the recipe!!!) no joke the BEST experience by far. They let us sit were we wanted, we love a specific cocktail and they made it for us, introduced us to an unfiltered local beer, brought us some tapas for my mom and myself to share & finally a fig cake (you’ll want to take home) Please have in mind these islands depend 100% on tourism and the pandemic hit them hard so please go support and tip these lovely people. Thank you Fabio, Emely and the team.

Omg , can't prize these place enough 🥰, stuff absolutely amazing. Delicious coffee, and cicchetti to die for!!!! I'm not joking, we had them for a breakfast they were freshly prepared and just melting in our mouths. Must admit we try cicchetti every day in different places and these one was a winner 🏆

One of the possibilities to get some food. Not so much options and quite expensive I would say. Small pizza (smaller then normal small pizza) costs 12.5€. On the end it is average. They got some “pizza” and other Italian stuff. Not so difficult to find a place to sit there and you can sit beside of boats and canal.

A beautiful bar with seating next to the canal not far from the lace museum. It was the most delicious cicchetti that I experienced during my entire stay (including those I tasted in the city of Venice during a street food tour!) The food presentation was impeccable and the addition of fresh red pepper corns gave an excellent dish the edge. Beautiful fresh Venician food and a delicious draft beer too!

Perfect place to rest after walking around Burano. The cicchetti were made to order and were absolutely delicious! We liked it so much, we had to buy more when we needed to circle back to pick up a water thermos we had left behind. Super nice people too!

I went to Burano with my wife with the expectation to find tasty cicchetti and we hit the jackpot with this restaurant. We tried other places before but they either didn't have cicchetti or it didn't look that great. The price is reasonable for the quality of the food. The cicchetti are freshly made, very nice looking and very tasty. The waiters are very hospitable and the scenery is also very nice. Would recommend this place to anyone

Best pasta, best pizza served by best professional service, topped up with a la carte cooling deserts. If on Burano island, do not miss it.

The restaurant is located in a quiet corner behind the Church of Saint Martin Bishop, next to the canal. The pizza is delicious, and the waiters are very attentive.

Fresh Scallops with a olive oil reserved for dipping bread into. Al dente spaghetti tangled with sweet, plump seafood in a whisper of garlic-chili oil. Panna Cotta was silky. Vanilla bean, chocolate dusting, just-set perfection. The best meal ive eaten after visiting Rome and Florance. Decadent, delicious, done.

Bellissima!!!!!!!! Staff is incredibly kind and the restaurant was beautiful. We had the freshest fritto mixto here on our entire trip. Food was delicious and the entire restaurant was so clean. Grazie mille for a fantastic experience!

A store with great taste on both decor and food. You can tell they care about ingredients. The menu is updated daily with fresh caught of the day. The staff are easygoing. I’d come back just for the way they make you feel welcome and the higher standards of freshness. Highly recommended.

One of the best carbonara i ever tasted. , staff are very accommodating and really nice.

The pasta was so delicious and staff were polite and very helpful, I really enjoyed the lunch in Burano for the first visit. I would like to go back again next time when I travel there.

Family owned, amazing service and fresh food especially the seafood. Same day caught

Food was very bad. The ravioli tasted like they'd bought at nearby store and poorly cooked: ravioli were swimming in terrible mixture of water and oil. The burger was like like Lego, but in a bad way: the bun was not fresh, the cabbage was carelessly thrown on, and what is worse the meat patty had a musty odor and felt like it was either cooked a couple of days ago or poorly prepared semi-finished product.
