La Tavernetta - VENEZIA

Do not eat here. If you’re planning on eating here it’s probably because it’s near your hotel and you don’t fancy the boat ride back to St Marc’s. Having had the misfortune of eating at this establishment I can honestly say I’d rather swim back to st Marc’s and find a better alternative (Burger King would be better). The restaurant stank of wet dog and the food was horrific. Service was haphazard at best and it wasn’t cheap at 100euro for two with no wine. I paid 160 euro for lunch at Al Covo and was happy to pay it, at this place I felt I’d been robbed. Awful awful awful. Avoid. The website and images make it look fancy the reality is anything but. It’s a tourist trap and a bad one at that.

With a little free time on my own for lunch, I took a short stroll to La Tavernetta for lunch. There are many foods that can be found all over the world, I like try them in their place of origin to assess how they are supposed to be made. I started with a local prosciutto, which was phenomenal. It was far less salty than a lot of prosciutto I’ve had in the states. I also love fried calamari, so I ordered the Mixed Fried Adriatic Seafood, which was primarily calamari and shrimp, and also included clams and zucchini chips. The proprietor was friendly and attentive, all in all it was a terrific lunch.

We been yesterday, nice cozy restaurant The food here is high quality we had amazing pasta and focaccia Highly recommended

Abbiamo trovato per caso io e la mia ragazza questo ristorante sabato 9 ed essendo durante l'evento del cinema di Venezia c'era molta gente e non avevamo prenotato ma ci hanno dato comunque la possibilità di cenare all'aperto ed anche molto bene, ringrazio quindi il personale per la disponibilità, prezzi giusti e non elevati.

Ristorante a pochi passi dal Excelsior, quindi ottima posizione. antipasti e polpo nella norma. forse i prezzi un po 'altini per le porzioni offerte.
