Venice Dinner Recommendations

If you land at 12:20, by the time you clear passport control and get the train, it will be quite late afternoon. Consider grabbing sandwiches at the station (we like Bar Centrale and Vyta at Milano Centrale) to eat on the train.

Once in Venice it might depend on where you are staying, how far you want to walk, and any preferences and price sensitivity. Do you like seafood? Is this to be a fancy celebratory dinner or a casual bite?

It is for our honeymoon and we want the trip to start off great, so I would say celebratory. We are centrally located within Venice so pretty much anywhere is ok for us. Any type of food, establishment, type of ambiance, etc is within the realm of possibilities. Just hoping to hear what people really enjoyed while there.

We had a lovely dinner here late March. Very reasonable prices and good food.
If weather is great ask for a table by the canal.

We had an excellent experience at Trattoria Alla Madonna in Venice.

We ate here last August for our last meal in Italy. We had a group of seven and everyone loved their food. It is on the water right across from Cemetery island. Beautiful view. We made reservations the day before.

Beth- That place looks great! I made a reservation for dinner for that night, Thank you!

I am just looking for a nice place for lunch now June 5th. Thank you guys for the recommendations!

In the Rialto Bridge area there is a great place for lunch. It's Trattoria Da Marco Valla Fava on Calle Stagneri. Some of the best sea food ever!! Try to eat inside rather than outside. The place has been around at least 50 years so they must be doing it right.

Enjoy! Save some room for the tiramisu! It is out of this world.

Our best meals in Venice have been at Ai Mercanti. We have dined there four or five times. Really special. Has a well deserved Michelin star.

Tonight we ate at Trattatoria Dona Onesta as recommended by A-A above and the food, service ambiance were perfect. We had a table for two canal side. The owner and his wife were lovely. Her father started the restaurant 30 years ago. Professionally she is a dentist but also works at the restaurant as it’s very difficult to get employees. We had a reservation.
