After proposing to my fiancée in Venice, I brought her to Bistrot de Venise for our celebration dinner, & it was the perfect choice for such a special evening.

Perfect dinner, amazing food Davide was our server, he us also a sommelier, the wine pairings were fabulous. My wife is vegetarian & gluten free, they went out of the way to make her experience Perfect. A must try if you are in Venice. Their wine cellar is very deep with a lot if choice.
We stumbled upon this place & I am so glad we did. My mum & I loved the great food & attentive service. I'll definitely return each time I'm in Venice.
We stopped by Bistrot de Venise for lunch on our first day in Venice. We were able to walk in right in around 1pm on a Friday. They have a regular menu & a lighter lunch menu. We elected to eat from the lighter lunch menu. We ordered the classic cabonara, grilled prawns on a pesto/basil rice, & the beef cheek. The portions were still very large for a lighter lunch menu. The beef cheek was massive & I was only able to eat about half of it. Every dish was packed with flavor & plated beautifully. Each dish is a shareable size for couples. We left completely full & happy. I'd highly recommend coming here for lunch or dinner.
This is a place to go if you want good (slightly unusual) food & excellent service. I dined solo & I chose to have a pasta course & a meat course… & I was too full to have dessert. The lamb gnocchi was good. The beef filet & Caesar course wasn't my favorite… there was too much sauce going on or somehow combined the ingredients just tasted like mustard. Lettuce soaked with mustard. Whatever they are doing is drowning the taste of the lettuce. Their bread & petit fours were excellent. Amouse bouche of rice & peas was not much flavor. The wine was excellent. I would pass this restaurant recommendation on to friends who are coming to Venice. It's a good experience overall.
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!
We ate here last minute after asking our hotel front desk for recommendations. We ended up having a 3 hour tour of Italy's food history & culture. Paolo Fragiacomo served us & provided attentive service. You can sense his passion for food & Its connection to the people. Too many tourists have made Venice an outdoor air mall & are passing by chain restaurants the zombie cruise industry has created. Instead why not invest in learning about Venetian food & wine? Yes it's a bit on the pricier side but you only live once & they help local artists & I sensed want to teach patrons about local food & drink. We ended up having 3 courses & buying the beautiful glass water bottles & olive oil. He even gave us a beautiful umbrella for 2 to keep after since it was raining outside. Ended our trip with one of the most memorable dining experience I've had.
