Oh my god! That was so delicious! Drop whatever you are doing & go tey their food. Expensive? Yes. But if you can splurge go for it!

Bistrot de Venise is a great venue for both lunch & dinner. Located centrally in Calle Fabbri & a short walk from Piazza San Marco, the bistro is situated on a small canal complete with passing gondolas. For a quick lunch I had an excellent pasta dish inside the bistro with its lovely interior - a gondolier was lunching at the adjacent table which inadvertently added to the Venetian ambience. I subsequently dined outside for a relaxed evening meal - I ordered a traditional Venetian dish of eel followed by a delicate cheesecake dessert crafted into the shape of a rosebud. All food was delicious & beautifully presented. The service was attentive with helpful wine recommendations. I don't take photos of food or eating venues, but I regret not having my mobile phone at hand with which to take some images! My two meals at Bistrot de Venise were the best & most memorable in 7 weeks of travel throughout Italy. Thoroughly recommended for quality dining.

Magnífico restaurante para ir en pareja. Romántico, clásico y muy acogedor. Un must en Venecia.

Outrageously good with amazing attention to detail esp surrounding historic dishes & prep. Server & busser were above & beyond, exuding class that is long gone in this day & age. Must stop for gluten allergy folks.

Beautiful dinner experience at this fine dinning restaurant. My husband & I had a lovely dinner here. The sommelier helped us pick a nice bottle of wine for our meal. Our waiter provided excellent recommendations from the menu. I had a shrimp appetizer, shrimp pasta, & lamb. Each dish was excellent & unique. My husband had caprese, ravioli, fowl. I also had mousse for dessert.

The food & service were spectacular.

The steak was perfectly cooked medium & the lasagne had a little twist in it compared to traditional one.

The served bread had history behind it & the little note underneath explained that.

Beautifully location too. More suitable for dates than a family dinner.

Service was excellent, when we entered we were thankful for the A/C. As we waited for our seat we had nice small talk with the friendly & inviting bartender. After sitting there were 2 servers helping us both very informed about everything on the menu. One gentleman that said he is a full blooded Venetian told us many interesting pieces of information about the dishes & wine. They all had a very inviting nature to them. Woman's bathroom had complimentary toiletries.

Now for the food, we had a lovely bottle of wine. The Chianti 22 I believe. Was recommended to me after I said I like a dry wine with tannins but crisp & it was exactly that & more!

Creamed cod was very light, ravioli was flavorful & unique the almonds were a touch I wasn't sure of but the dish thrives with it.

For the linguine. We are typically not red sauce fans because they can we sweet but the hot oil it comes with balances it out nicely.

The only reason the food Isn't 5 stars is because of the servings & price ratio.

Siamo capitati in questo ristorante quasi per caso durante una passeggiata a Venezia, attirati dal desiderio di provare una cacio e pepe fatta a regola d'arte. Eravamo già piuttosto sazi dopo una giornata trascorsa a mangiare in giro, quindi abbiamo optato per dividere un unico piatto.
L'esperienza culinaria è stata assolutamente positiva: la qualità del cibo era ottima e il servizio del cameriere che ci ha seguiti è stato eccellente. Si è dimostrato estremamente cordiale, preparato e professionale, in linea con l'offerta di un ristorante che si presenta come gourmet.
Purtroppo, la serata è stata macchiata da un episodio conclusivo decisamente spiacevole. Al momento di richiedere la fattura per un conto di 22 €, il signore addetto alla cassa/gestione si è avvicinato commentando in modo sprezzante:'Per 20 € volete una fattura?'. Ha continuato a esprimere questo giudizio inopportuno mentre si allontanava per prendere il materiale necessario, commentando la nostra richiesta anche con il resto del personale.
Troviamo assurdo che in un locale che punta a un alto livello di servizio ci si permetta di giudicare o deridere le scelte legittime di un cliente. È un comportamento poco professionale e irrispettoso che stride profondamente con la cortesia dimostrata dal resto dello staff. Peccato, perché un'ottima cena è stata rovinata da una caduta di stile gratuita e inaccettabile.

Truly excellent service, wine & food. Perfect location sitting on a quiet side street near a canal with gondolas floating past.
