The food sucks
The starter with the green beans was not fully cooked, which made me throw up right after I had it. The cuttlefish noodle is the worst which tasted like sea water-very salty & fishy. All the other dishes are nothing special but much more expensive than other restaurants. The dessert was too sweet.
I really recommend that anyone that used to Asian food never go to this restaurant. The taste is so weird!!!

I went to Bistrot de Venise for a truly special, authentic Venetian meal. My group was seated right next to a window where we could watch the gondolas pass outside - it was so magical to watch! I started with a Bistrot de Venise spritz that was one of the best I had in Venice. We then ordered the historical tasting menu that had incredible dishes, & I highly recommend ordering this menu with its wine pairings. The sommelier, Nicola, was incredible & explained to us with great passion & detail each pairing. Every course was delicious & it was so fun to eat recipes that were traditional & authentic. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to add a culinary highlight on a trip to Venice!

Friendly & charming service. Sommelier on staff who knows his stuff. Classic dishes as well as modern influences. The veal kidney was delicious. If only the portions were a bit bigger. I understand why Michelin recommends this place.

Bistro Venice Fine Dining absolutely exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, everything was spot on - incredible food, outstanding service, & a real passion for Italian culture that came through in every detail. The team took the time to explain dishes & traditions, which made the whole experience feel even more special.

A huge thank you to Joe, who truly made the evening unforgettable - his knowledge, warmth, & attention to detail were exceptional.

This gem was recommended by the barman/sommelier at Hotel Doge Orseolo (Alberto Canaletto), & what a recommendation it turned out to be. The perfect way to end our holiday.

Yes, it's not the cheapest, but the quality & overall experience make it fantastic value for money. Honestly, I can't recommend it highly enough.

A very unique place: very tasty food with local & historic dishes, along with great wine pairing (+50 wines by the glass…), absolutely amazing service (waiters know everything… as if they needed a PhD to be able to serve clients) & warm & welcoming atmosphere…. The best address around (& it is a high bar)…..deserves a 6+….

We chose the tasting menu with wine pairing & loved every moment. Each course was beautifully executed, creative yet balanced, & the wines complemented the dishes perfectly. Service was warm, knowledgeable, & attentive without being intrusive. An elegant, memorable dining experience & a true highlight of our time in Venice. Thank you!

🇮🇹 Abbiamo scelto il menu degustazione con abbinamento vini e abbiamo amato ogni momento. Ogni portata era eseguita in modo impeccabile, creativa ma equilibrata, e i vini accompagnavano perfettamente i piatti. Il servizio è stato caloroso, competente e attento senza mai essere invadente. Un'esperienza gastronomica elegante e memorabile, uno dei momenti più belli del nostro soggiorno a Venezia. Grazie!

Outstanding evening! Our waiter, Rinto, was knowledgeable & polite. Our two main dishes were simply delicious, & the dessert was like nothing we had tasted before. All the excellent food was accompanied by a complimentary soup at the start & chocolate at the end. The value was very good, given that this is a very fine dining restaurant with delicious meals & lovely atmosphere.

They don't have real Michelin star (just recommendation from Michelin). We took 4 dishes tasting menu . Eel was terrible , bunch of bones inside, tasted bad, presentation was very nice , i wish taste would be the same. Shrimps with onions were not very good as well. Only pasta & ravioli were delicious. Didn't even finish half of our dishes. desserts looked cheap & tasted the same. Inside the restaurant smelled like in the basement, that's because it's located under the ground i guess. Service was good , no complaints, but it's a restaurant & it's expensive restaurant, so i think the food is not worth those money . Paid 330 euros for 2 people. NOT RECOMMENDED. thanks

Do not go here unless you're prepared to be judged & dismissed based on appearances or perceived status. From the moment we sat down, we felt unwelcome.

When we politely asked the waiter for a recommendation between two dishes, he refused to answer - not with a smile or a joke, but with a cold, condescending tone, as if we were wasting his time. The entire interaction was uncomfortable, & it was clear we were being profiled & treated differently than other guests.

Food in Venice is everywhere - spend your money at a place where hospitality still means something.

We would like to thank the team at Bistrot de Venise for the unforgettable experience they gave us on August 12, 2025. The menu, the dishes, & the service were all perfect. We have been to many very good fine dining restaurants, but this was perhaps the best experience we have had so far. Each of the dishes in the romantic lunch menu was exceptionally delicious, beautifully presented & harmonious in flavor, but for me, it was perhaps the Raffioli de herbe...vantazati that made me say it was the best dish I had ever had in my life. When I asked my wife how she liked the romantic lunch, she replied,'I felt like a queen.' I think that says it all. Thank you again for everything:

We stopped by for lunch - chose the restaurant in advance after looking through the menu, which stood out with its interesting & refined dishes. We were looking for something beyond the usual tourist fare, & it definitely delivered.
The food was excellent: well-balanced, flavorful, & thoughtfully presented. Portions weren't large, but everything felt deliberate & well-composed - you can tell there's real attention to detail.
Special thanks to the staff. Service was polite, attentive, & never overbearing. A particular mention goes to Fabio & Giuseppe - both were incredibly kind & made the atmosphere warm & relaxed.
A great spot if you're looking for a calm, high-quality lunch in the heart of Venice, with a focus on flavor & care.
Air conditioner!

Multi-course dinner. One of the main dishes we did not like at all.
Reaction from staff to complaints could be improved. Atmosphere great.

Very good, quite expensive but definitely worth the money. Great service, amazing food. My favorite dishes were the squid tartare, the umbrine & the creme brûlée

This place made me feel like I ate at my grandma's table. We started with a fantastic spritz & dug into the pasta for our first course. The squid ink pasta & the goose ragout pasta were perfection on my palate. I would certainly recommend trying the squid dishes at this place. The sommelier was very helpful & guided us well on our wine selection. All in all a lovely dinner & must visit in Venice.

My family of 6 enjoyed Bistro de Venice for lunch. The food & wine were wonderful & the service was excellent. We did not have reservations, so I was very pleased that they were able to fit us in. I do however recommend getting reservations. I didn't take many pics, but all of us loved our dishes.
