This was recommended by the owner of our B&B as somewhere he takes his family. Great food great service one of the best meals we had in Venice and very good value. Started with the antipasto plate to share, wow it was exceptional. Then we had fish (turbot) and asparagus and I had pasta matriciana, shared a coffee Bavarian to... More

Having walked passed what seemed like thousands of lovely restaurants in Venice (and frequented a couple too!) we decided to choose Promessi Sposi on our last evening. We arrived early but hadn't booked (we would recommend booking ahead) but the man at the bar gave us a table right next to the locals who we could have listened to chatting... More

Not easy to find, decoration is basic Italian yet elegant but well worth a visit. The food is superb and is always served with gusto and charm and a welcoming smile. I have been coming to Venice for years and have eaten at some of the best (La Corte Sconta, Alle Testieri, Harry's Bar, etc), yet what this place has... More

We hadn't booked in advance but were able to get a table at 7 and had an excellent meal. I had the goose speck and arugula starter (eating goose was a first for me) and it was delicious - followed by an excellent pasta with asparagus. My husband had a shrimp starter - cold, but to call it shrimp salad... More

Was dull on first day we tried so booked for following night. Menu was all in Italian but waiter was helpful and gave good advice. Free grappa at end of evening was a nice touch.

We had our first meal in Venice at this quaint little Osteria. Delicious sea bass and pasta and clams. The insalada mista was large enough for two and a days worth of veggies. Very moderate price. We made reservations to return.

I ate here tonight, after reading the comments and being really close to my hotel, and after the roadtrip i've had, I have to say it was fantastic! Going fairly early I had no need to book but for more than two, i'd think it would be a good idea. I had a main and a dessert and a couple... More

While wondering along the many tiny calle's we found this Osteria... Yum, yum, yum, yum, YUM! Pasta with artichokes - stand out dish!!!! In fact it was all good!! Ok...It doesn't have much atmosphere, but none of the Italian Osteria's do really...it's not about that, it's all about the food...so make sure you take someone interesting with you!!

They might have superb food, but certainly no ambiance at all. We expected a romantic restaurant by the descriptions here in the TripAdvisor, but were greatly disappointed by the plain ugly joint it is. There are so many nicer alternatives in Venice.
