The restaurant was full of friendly waiters all busy keeping the customers happy and making sure everyone was attended to promptly, but at the head was the Manager who kept everything ticking like clockwork, it was magnificent to watch. The food was first class especially...the fillet steak with the pepper sauce, I couldn’t recommend you visit this 1st class restaurant enough.More

The worst meal we’ve had in terms of dining experiences. This place is lazy, jaded and a total rip off. It’s obvious tourist trap position makes it all the more unappealing. We didn’t intend eating here, had to get something quickly before a concert we...were going to further along the Riva and this seemed close enough to the venue. The photos on Tripadvisor certainly are not indicative of what is presented at table. Maybe being November there is little need to bother any more, now the tourist hordes have passed on and in our case any uninspiring chewy pizza and tasteless pasta will do. Table next to us sent their steaks back, frankly they looked as unimpressed with food and service as we were. Bon Jovi blaring out speakers as we dined or rather fried under blazing hot patio heaters, said it all…oh yes and not forgetting the unbelievably arrogant and beyond rude waiter who screamed PIN at my husband as he was paying. Not sure what training he’d had but it clearly wasn’t charm school. Everything about this place was third rate even the loos needed a good clean. But probably, like the food, no one could be bothered. Resented every penny - personally don’t recommend unless you are desperate If you are going to call yourself a ‘Princess’ then one would like to think you’d raise your game One hour of dinner ‘meh ‘ I’ll happily forget in our so far wonderful Venetian mini breakMore

We stopped at Principessa to have a couple of drinks before it was time to leave the island. We had a Spritz-Aperol and The Hugo. We stayed about 2 hours and had several more Hugos. The drinks were so refreshing and absolutely delicious! This was...our first time in Venice but we will definitely be back!More

Stopped here on the off chance as we needed to kill some time before checking into our hotel. Campari Spritz was lovely - although any more than 1, be careful - they are quite strong. My husband and I both had the burger & shared...a fries between us - food was cooked lovely and service was brilliant. Great place to people watch too ☺️More

I took a group to Venice recently and booked a prix fixe lunch at the Ristorante Principessa. Not only was their pricing reasonable compared to many other options I explored, but the food was excellent, the portions large, and the service outstanding. All this and...a great location to boot!
