Best Authentic Restaurants in San Polo

Great food atmosphere and location. Service as ever faultless. We will continue to come back here whenever we are in Venice. Place lives up to its reputation Try a Bellini.

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

This was a special night out for my wife and I while in Italy for a 2 week vacation. Not our first time to Venice but it was our first time to this restaurant. The food and service were beyond compare. Giuseppe made excellent menu recommendations and Micha paired the perfect vino with each course. If you are looking for the most delicious food and top notch service in an outstanding atmosphere this is your place. The seafood, beef, pasta, wine and desserts were levels above the rest!
