Review Summary

Reviews portray Bistrot de Venise as an elegant, romantic Venetian dining experience with warm, attentive service and a knowledgeable sommelier. The cuisine blends traditional Venetian recipes with contemporary touches, earning praise for dishes like fish, pasta, risotti, lasagne, ravioli, and the renowned tiramisu, while vegan options are highlighted by several guests. The ambiance features soft lighting, refined decor, and a relaxed yet refined atmosphere ideal for special occasions or a quiet meal, sometimes with canal-side seating.

This is not an'eatery', come prepared to experience something new. Go for the recommended menus (4-8 courses) is not familiar with sophisticated dinning. Wine collection is very impressive!

We had a great evening, loved the tasting menu & really appreciated the service & knowledge from the serving staff. Aso, a very large wine list which the staff helped us navigate. Not cheap but a lovely choice if you want to treat yourself.

Excellent food service & ambiance. Ambiance: warm lighting, murano gold candelsticks lit, red damask wallpapers & red leather seats & backings. Food & wines are local to Veneto. We had cicchetti & fois Gras for appetizers, buzara & macaroni (gnocchi) for primi, & duck & lamb for secondi. Everything was a gastronomic delight. Sommelier was top notch, & one of the best; versed in every bottle, both wine & the art work on the label! We went three nights during our week vacation

This place offers authentic Venetian cuisine!! U can tell from the bread they serve - Pan de Bovolo! We tried their classic tasting menu & every dish was delicious! The wine recommended by the staff was also great & paired well with the food. Their tiramisu is a must try - very unique presentation that u cannot find elsewhere. The meal we had was so good that we simply forgot to take a picture of our own look! Location is also convenient.

Delightful as ever. This time we had Gamberoni in'Saor' all'antica (Prawns in'Saor' sweet & sour) & Caprese Gourmet (Buffalo mozzarella mousse glazed with San Marzano tomato) followed by Petto de Anara in salsa'Pevarada' (Duck breast in Pevarada sauce) accompanied by a flight of three delicious & very reasonable different wines recommended by the excellent sommelier. All first-rate.

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!

We booked in advance a day early which was a delightful surprise to actually get a table.
Someone had booked under the same name but this was quickly rectified & we were placed in a comfortable table straight away.
I wanted to experience fine dining from Venice & I wasn't disappointed with selecting Bistrot de Venice. The staff were extremely attentive & each meal was explained to my wife & I with great detail. The restaurant decor was magnificent to study as we waited for each of our meals.
The wine that was matched by the staff complimented each dish extremely well. I felt warm & very relaxed eating here.
My clam pasta was my favourite meal of the evening. I tried to savour every bite. I don't think I can eat clam pasta anywhere else ever again knowing I've found perfection.
Each meal that left the kitchen & passed into the restaurant Brought such wonderful aromas.
I could write on for days how fantastic it was but you'll just have to try it for yourself. Highly recommend.
Thank you Bistrot de Venice.
Love from Australia.

Great place a little off the beaten path. Exceptional service , food & a wine list with many outstanding back vintages.
We got this recommendation from a local Venetian born & raised in Venice.

An Evening in Lovely Surroundings

In the soft glow of evening light so bright,
We settled in, letting worries drift away.
Beautiful surroundings, a dream felt just right,
With service that sparkled, in a warm, inviting array.

A glass raised high, the wine's tale began,
Each sip held a story, from vine to our table.
From distant vineyards where sunrays ran,
A journey of flavors, sweet as a fable.

The pasta divine, the pride of the house,
Homemade art on a plate, each bite a sweet verse.
The duck, so tender & juicy, a joyous espouse,
Every meal a grand feast, a celebration to immerse.

& then came dessert, like a kiss from the stars,
Sweet, light, & airy, like dreams of the night.
In laughter & sharing, we traveled so far,
An evening of magic, forever in our sights.

Their promise of historically Venetian ambiance & meals is not only authentic but deeply elaborated on throughout the dining experience. Each individual aspect of the food is explained, cultivating a meal into a holiday experience. The waitstaff consists of knowledgeable individuals, in addition to their sommelier with well expected & delivered expertise. Some foods that I have regularly brought me near tears, & other foods that I was set on never trying again, I consumed every bite with speed. Could soup is normally a turn-off for me but, their gazpacho was out of this world phenomenal. The lamb chops were, as well, otherworldly. The wine selection is not what I was expecting but, it was somewhat extensive, they just did not offer any of the Italian wines I was hoping for. Regardless, I found those wines & this place helped me to perceive my trip as a once in a lifetime experience, even as an individual moving near Venice in a year.
This is not a place you will regret going to but, be weary as the bill can add up quick!

Exceptional take on traditional local cuisine. Taken aback by the quality of the ingredients. Stumbled across Bistrot De Venice on the Michelin Guide, & it certainly belongs there - perhaps with a star. The Sommelier was wonderfully knowledgeable with two great suggestions; Extensive wine list also. Dining outside was a true immersive experience. A fantastic balance between haute cuisine & local dining.

The food was immaculate, & the service beyond excellent. If you're at all interested in food, wine, or historical cuisine, do yourself a favour & book a table. You won't regret it.

I visited here for both lunch & dinner. The cuisine was not only of exceptional quality but also beautifully presented with artistic flair, showcasing the finest culinary traditions of Venice, enhanced by their contemporary interpretations of classic Italian desserts.

The service, however, was the reason I HAD to return. David provided thorough explanations regarding the preparation of each dish & the origin of the ingredients, demonstrating extensive knowledge of the wine selection. His recommendations from wine to dessert options were all on point.

Food was meh. Oysters came with a warm plate & nothing to put on them. Fois gras was disappointing. Service was terrible. I've had better service at an Applebees in the US & this place has Michelin stickers on the door. Inattentive & brusque. Good (pricy) wine list.

Classy, old school & elegant. The service deserves a special mention, because it was old school professionalism, which can not be experienced often nowadays. The food is meticulous, their wine list is extensive.

What a great find! We came upon this place while wondering the narrow streets & canals of Venice. It is located prominently on a corner not too far from San Marco Sq. We didn't have reservations but were fortunate enough to get a table outside as it was a lovely evening. Service was impeccable & the food fabulous with many choices from a very well curated menu. The wine list was quite extensive & the sommelier helped to pick one out. All in all it was the perfect location & great way to spend our last night in'The Floating City'.

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.
