I had a very unpleasant experience in this restaurant. A friend booked a table two weeks in advance, the result was that we were obliged to change the plans because the host mistreated us accusing us to be liars about the reservation and in a...very VERY impolite way. Luckily in Venice this was the only bad experience, we have the best client serve just 10 meters away.More

The crowd seemed to be a mix of locals and tourists. We do speak Italian, but had a little problem with the menu because the dialect was different that what we are use to. Our waitress took the time to go over the menu with...us even though the place was busy and crowded.More

The cuisine was subtle yet refined in a vibrant back canal. Loved the seafood lasagna and the quantities were more than enough. Prices were surprisingly very modest however service needed more personnel as responses where slow and there were very few menu, non in English.

Very nice experience. Fresh high quality fish. Friendly staff and affordable prices. I would really recommend this restaurant.

Beautiful location out in the sun by the canal. The menu is mostly fish so if your kids don’t like fish there is basically a cheese pasta dish (cooked in front of you) and some veal. The cheese pasta dish was 20 euros but was...cold - because it is being cooked out in the open in this large cheese dish and the air makes it cold. We sent it back and they made us another one (when we just wanted it heated up) which was basically cold again. Waiting for this to be sorted out our food went cold. The manager came out and asked how it was and we told him it was cold and he said ‘nobody else complains about our food’ and walked off. This was rude and arrogant. The waitress said he was her brother and there’s a reason he is kept in the kitchen! They refused to take it off the bill. Anyway. You go if you want to, we certainly won’t be going again.More

I'm very surprised by all the negative reviews here, mostly from foreign tourists. Paradiso perduto is a Venice institution and everyone from the city has eaten there at some point, for very good reasons: it's relaxed and authentic atmosphere, huge portions, great food sourced locally...(you won't find pizza or carbonara here - only authentic Venetian cuisine with fresh produces) and friendly staff. I can't stress enough how good their menu is - I haven't found yet a single restaurant with so many local specialties. I really recommend the mixed fish antipasto since it has a bit of everything, otherwise you won't make a mistake by ordering baccalà mantecato and polenta, capesante, cappelunghe and sarde in saor. Come here if you are into seafood and want to try the best baccalà mantecato in all of Venice, stay away if you are just looking for average generic Italian food such as pasta bolognese.More

We got disappointed. The place was suggested, hovever, not fulfilled our expectations. Maybe it is better to take a seat outside and enjoy the view with a drink. Service is fine, however dishes are too oily and greasy. Not enjoyable.

We had a great dinner here with brilliant service. Each dish was tasty and generous in portion size. The vibe was friendly, young and the place was full of locals. Make sure to reserve especially if visiting in weekends.

We came here because we were told there would be cheese wheel pasta. There was but they did not even show us the wheel. Also the caco e Pepe was just so bad and very bland. Not worth the 19 euro. Save your money and...go somewhere elseMore

Granted, we’ve only been in Italy for a few days, but nonetheless this was hands down the best restaurant experience. The atmosphere was young and casual with a mix of families and couples, nice jazzy music that was not overpowering. The service was excellent from...seating (we came without a reservation) to waitress. And then the food- simply exquisite! The presentation of the antepasti vegetables was beautiful and delicious. The cooked whitefish spread was delicious and filling and the pasta with beans was excellent. We also ordered a cheese platter served with fruit, but truthfully it was one dish too many. The dishes were each very generous. Highly recommended.More

Nice atmosphere, tasty food with generous portions. Wide selections of dishes can satisfy different tastes. Highly recommended Good value for money

If you get lost in Cannaregio stop by Paradiso perduto for an Aperol Spritz and cicchetti. The outdoor Tables along the canal are really nice. Food is good quality, traditional and not overpriced like in other places in Venice
