Incroyable, je recommande a 100% si vous êtes a Venise & que vous voulez vous faire plaisir avec un bon restaurant gastronomique, en plus de l'endroit qui est superbe, de la musique classique très agréable, de l'ambiance romantique & du service impeccable, la nourriture était délicieuse, nous avons prit le menu découverte & chaque plat étaient excellents, bien travaillés avec parfois des saveurs surprenantes & très beau dressage, de la mise en bouche jusqu'au petites mignardises qui clôturent le repas. La promesse est tenue & nous avons passé un super moment, mention spéciale au 2 dessert tiramisu & crème brûlé orange anis glace romarin ainsi que les pates a la creme d'anchois

We were pleasantly surprised by this place! Definitely fine dining, with unique flavors. We were interested in something slightly different from the hundreds of standard Italian restaurants. We travel heavily, & huge wine people. Their wine list is impressive but a little pricey. We had the BEST wine service I have ever had in any restaurant in the world. The detail our server put in to present, decant, etc the bottle was special. It was truly well done, & we only ordered a $200 bottle. They started with a unique take on a Caprese which was actually really nice. The tuna appetizer is a seasonal special & it was great. I had the risotto which was a good dish - a little fishy & strong in fennel flavor. The "moving fish" was interesting. the amount of seafood was comical - i had one half of one scallop, one small piece of langoustine (I think?), one shrimp, & some of the raw fish. The panna cotta honey dessert was fantastic. They also gave us a little tasting dessert. We would recommend to friends that are adventurous or want something a little different.

This is one of the finest restaurants I have ever dined at. We enjoyed the 4 course option which included the sweet & sour prawns with spiced onions & the sturgeon marinated in mull wine. Both were exquisite. These appetizers were followed by Durum Wheat Pasta & Scampi with a heavenly chili pepper oil & the Homemade Bronze Drawn Spaghettoni with butter & anchovy cream. Al dente superbness. The third course was Orange & Rosemary flavored Lamb & Duck Breast'Pervada', both entrees sous vied, then baked to tender perfection. The encore desserts were the best Tiramisu & Crème Brûlée either of us had ever experienced. The evening was capped off with a sit down visit by the owner. He explained their 30 year quest to find & reproduce ancient 13th & 14th century Venetian recipes. This is a humble family, dedicated to their craft. We will return to Bistrot de Venise every time we return to Venice.

Our first Michelin star experience ever & on a whim for a special bday lunch for my daughter. The risotto was an experience by itself, the fillet was on point & we ate the entire dessert menu. They had a €55 courses menu but we opted for the a la carts lunch options. Definitely not a kid restaurant, but they weren't busy & exceptionally friendly & accommodating. Our kids devoured the lasagna & desserts. The outstanding service, wine pairings, charm, & high quality food were beyond expectations. For a tucked away spot, this is a hidden gem.

I went with a group of people to eat here when touring around. They treated us with a lot of respect, good hospitality & very good to us. But the chef i wish did a better job. One of the people i was with didn't really like the lasagna she had order. Another of the girl i was with order shrimp scampi & complain about barely having shrimp on it. They didn't have parmesan cheese for their stuff either. I on the other hand had the black spaghetti. I liked mines. Only thing I didn't liked was the crème brûlée. It wasn't all that. I would not recommend that at all. They did give us a free appetizer which is good & free extra dessert of different sweets. (I try adding video of everyone food, didn't let me). The scallop was delicious by the way !

Dining at Bistrot de Venise was an unforgettable experience. The elegant street setup created a romantic atmosphere, & the service was impeccable. The food was the highlight. The prawns in soar were juicy & flavorful, & the ravioli with herbs was delightful. The lasagna was a nostalgic treat, creamy & beefy like my mother's. The duck was exceptional. The tiramisu was the perfect finish. Despite its Michelin star, the prices were reasonable, & the portions were satisfying. We ordered three appetizers, one first course, two mains, & two desserts. Every dish was a winner. Highly recommended for a top-notch dining experience without breaking the bank.

Another overrated place- what's wth the glowing reviews? We started with a good scallop dish but rather average Prawns in Saor, a traditional dish that was too subtle in flavour annd served with a pile of barely-cooked onion. Our mains were both a bit disappointing. Lamb chops were cooked well but served with raw squash that did nothing for the dish. Liver was served on a bland bed of crusted-over polenta with yet more lightly fried onion- certainly not caramelized as the menu describes. We wanted dessert but the place got so busy we thought it would take ages so just asked for the cheque. Even though the menu states there is a 10% service/bread charge it was clear the waiter expected more so we added another 10%. Wouldn't return. Wouldn't recommend. It's not bad just certainly not memorable.

We visited this place for post-proposal dinner. I wanted something special & this place did not disappoint. The service & food were outstanding. I just wish I could eat more! The menu was unconventional so it was hard to make choice. My fiancé had duck & I had calf liver, both were amazing. We also got a welcome starter & dessert at the end in the house. These were small but also tasted amazing. Definitely recommended.

Restaurant "gastro" à découvrir avec un service au top du début à la fin. Une cuisine raffinée & goûteuse. Il faut être habitué en Italie d'avoir une proposition de menu qui intercale un plat de pâtes entre l'entrée & le repas, ne pas tomber dans le piège pour profiter du dessert. Une ambiance & une déco adapté au restaurant. Les plus chanceux auront une place isolé du flux des serveurs. Attendez vous à avoir un service en trois langue c'est sûr.

Ho provato questo ristorante più volte, e mi sono trovato sempre molto bene. Stavolta ho assaggiato un fantastico filetto cotto a bassa temperatura è un ottimo dessert con cioccolato e frutto della passione. Il locale è molto particolare, con arredamento molto pesante, ma alla fine gradevole. Lo staff non è male, ma hanno la pessima tendenza a cercare di venderti prodotti. Un vero peccato per un ristorante che non è più turistico come 20 anni fa.

An absolute culinary gem! Their signature dish, "Raw-Cooked" Risotto is the best risotto I've ever had in my life. Each bite is a journey through the flavors of Venice. Their desserts are exceptional, especially the revisited pana cota "Maya the Bee" is a real masterpiece. The ambiance & service only add to the overall delightful experience. Highly recommend.

Je suis allée pour fêter mon anniversaire avec mon mari. Nous avons réservé en avance & nous avons eu la table parfaite. Le service est impeccable! Le serveur parlait très bien le français & nous a tout expliqué en français. Que dire sur les plats? Tout était délicieux. Merci pour la petite attention avec mon dessert & une bougie, ça m'a vraiment touché! ♥️

The desserts are to die for! Panna cotta, tiramisu.... The ice creams are the best: lavender, rosemary, passion fruit... They also serve the best cup of coffee. We were so impressed that we asked what kind of beans that they used & let us buy a 1kg bag. The staff is awesome, genuinely nice & helpful.

My favorite meal in my three weeks in Italy. The miso cod is one of the best things I've ever eaten. Ravioli was also incredible. Lasagna was delicious but the cheese perhaps a bit too rich. The olive oil that comes with the free bread is so good that I asked the waiter about it (turns out you can buy it from their shop for 28 euros). & the free sea bass appetizer was delicious.

I was less impressed with: 40 euro bottle of Barbera wine; scallops; beef fillet...these were decent. & the desserts didn't really blow me away. Favorite was the lavender panna cotta.

Nice bonus: fast WiFi. & sounds weird to say, but the forks you get with the entree are some of the nicest-feeling forks I've ever held, lol.

Make reservations. This restaurant is full for a reason.
