Best Authentic Restaurants in Cannaregio

Everything IS great in this place. Food quality, service IS really impressive. Highly recommended.

Quaint little bistro and the service was simply outstanding! I had the best tiramisu of my life. A bit pricey, but definitely worth it.

5 stars on every level — Fantastic cooking, incredible service, drinks, attentive staff, welcoming warm atmosphere, bravo to these incredible people making authentic mexican dishes in venice. Truly a huge gem and delight, will spread the word and tell people to run there. I love the healthier aspect of the dishes as well, and authentic nature of the spice and tortillas. Fresh, excellent fish and cooking, the beef tartare was tremendous, and round bar in the centre of the kitchen to view the chefs was a wonderful way to relax and enjoy the evening. I loved that you would also feel great eating solo there, and the lovely tree in the centre. Superb restaurant and staff bringing new energy to Venice!

Given the rave reviews, I probably expected too much. The food was fine. Not amazing. The polenta was runny. Prosciutto and burrata were good. Truffle pasta was good but expensive. The bill was high relative to enjoyment. Service was great. It’s a fine option but you have so many equally good options that are a tad less.

I had a wonderful experience in Trattoria da Gioia, I ate really well and the waiters were kind and helpful, giving excellent advice for dinner. I will definitely return when in Venice again next February for their Carneval celebration! I had an appetizer of mixed salumi and cheese, fried fish and a desert with strawberries which I recommend.cheers
