The Bistrot de Venise was first opened in 1993. It is a place where people can meet up and savour the Cuisine & Wine as they enjoy figurative arts, poetry, cultural gatherings and a host of other activities dedicated to Venice. …in 1999, the Bistrot de Venise took its concept of blending culture, food and wine from the Veneto region a step further when it began to carry out research into Rare Wines and Historical Venetian Cuisine. …We are still steadfastly continuing along this path today…

    What a wonderful night we had at Bistrot de Venise. Our server, I believe his name was Dado, was excellent… pleasant, efficient, and helpful… couldn’t ask for more! We had a beautiful round table for five and could watch the gondolas float past our window…perfect! One of my friends had the five course pre-fixed meal w wine pairings, which she said was excellent, with the exception of the duck being a little tough. The filet mignon option was fabulous. I will order it the next time!! On this visit, I had the ravioli, which was also very good. All of the desserts were out of this world and magnificently presented. Thanks for a great night!

    Bistrot de VeniseResponded on February 24, 2023Many thanks dear Guest, you resumed in a few words our food & service style. Thanks again for kind words. I will pass your congratulations to all our Staff. very best wishes la direzione

    Very small portions, not as advertised and poor value. The pasta dish with a local canoce crayfish had just a very small piece of 1 such canoce. The fish dish served was also tiny and not very good.

    Service is so important - let me tell you how outstanding the service was at this restaurant. Emanuele was incredible. Super helpful and always smiling. The food was very nice - preferred some dishes over others but definitely worth a try. It is quite the experience. Thank you for making my fiance's birthday one to remember.

    It's a lovely restaurant and looks like an elevated dining experience but ...the kitchen actually has a bell to indicate when an order is ready ("ding-ding" like in a US diner). That defnitely took away from the elegance. The lighting was too bright so much so I asked the captain to dim: The captain happily did this. This adjustment was not just well received by me, but three other tables commented that it made the room feel so much better and thanked me for requesting the change. In sum, very attentive service, lovely visual surround, but other ambient elements need fine-tuning.

    My wife and I decided to treat ourselves to a night at Bistrot de Venise and what a treat it was. The staff were fantastic and so attentive. The food and drink knowledge that they shared with us for every part of the meal was not only informative but very entertaining. WOW The food is on a level we have personally never experienced before and might not for some time. If you are going to Venice and looking for a quality treat and experience I highly recommend you pre book. Thank you.

    Historically researched and reinterpreted Venetian dishes. Every dish was meticulously prepared and presented. Food was excellent and staff was attentive but not overbearing. Sommelier provides excellent wine recommendations. Only downside was presence of mosquitoes - but that’s a given in Venice everywhere.

    Food was very good, pricey but not out of the ordinary for what we experienced in Venice. Our only “complaint” is that they had a brochure of their products on all of the dining tables. A high-end restaurant should not be pushing their glass bottles and olive oil to the diner at any point during the meal.

    Bistrot de VeniseResponded on April 11, 2022Dear Hannah we thank you for kind review and explain why we put our brochure: due to the huge number of requests made by our Guests about oils, wines and artistic bottles, prices, deliveries and further details we have been forced to print an exaustive nice brochure that allow us to keep working during the service and leaving our Guests to their own curiosity and decision without forcing anybody. We believe it's a useful-kind way to introduce our selections. best regards, Sergio Fragiacomo

    We booked in early Jan for a Saturday night in late Jan. The restaurant was easy to find, the staff were welcoming and could all speak English (which I was very grateful for as I have very little Italian). The menu was great - a good range of dishes, and we had lovely appetisers and aperitifs. We chose the historic Venetian tasting menu (with paired wines), and were able to substitute some dishes to work around preferences / allergies. The sommelier talked us through the dishes and the paired wines, and we stayed until the restaurant closed. Very, very happy to recommend, a lovely night with delicious food and drinks.
