Ristorante All'Ombra del Gabbiano

We were absolutely delighted! The service was outstanding and the food simply wonderful. My girlfriend and I both chose the classic menu with wine pairing, and it was perfect — we left feeling pleasantly full. The staff were incredibly friendly, explained everything with great care, and even checked in about allergies. We also had a lovely conversation with our waitress (or perhaps the owner) about Venetian sweets and pastries — she shared so much with us. And we learned something new: cannoli are not Venetian! 🤫

Beautiful meal! Excellent and knowledgeable service. Interesting flavors, exquisite combinations and locally grown vegetables. All in all a great modern Italian restaurant with passionate owners. Highly recommend

It’s not a vegan restaurant, but they make amazing vegan dishes! Everything is homemade, including cashew mozzarella, they use very fresh seasonal ingredients and the recipes are delicious! My new go to place for vegan food in Mestre.

Excellent food and wine, friendly staff. The entire menu is gluten free, and there are a lot of vegan options. After a few weeks of travelling this was one of the more enjoyable meals my girlfriend and I had. The staff was excellent with their suggestions of wine to pair with our meals. A hidden gem outside of Venice!

I had the chef special risotto and seared tuna with broccoli. Risotto is creamy and well balanced with fried capers. Tuna is so fresh and is sashimi grade. All ingredients come from a farm nearby and chef has made a point of simple but sophisticated taste. Well done!

The best vegan and gluten-free food in Venice! This place is a hidden gem, offering a fantastic variety of dishes and culinary styles. Everything from starters to desserts was outstanding. the vegan starters were amazing, and the burger was out of this world. Definitely 5 stars!

Incredible dining experience tucked away in a quiet part of Venezia Mestre run lovingly by local couple. Farm to table, local produce with homemade details that were unique, fresh and delicious. The scallops with rosemary crumble on a bed of delicate pea puree was stunning. As was the squid ink risotto of the day with mullet roe: subtle yet robust all at the same time. Noteworthy cocktails, especially the cardamom gin fizz. Highly recommend this gem of a restaurant. We hope to be back one day. Thank you for our favorite meal in Italy this trip.

Designated Gluten and lactose free kitchen! Best food i’ve had on my trip through Italy so far. They’re well knowledged about all allergies and want to give you the best experience! You get a free starter and bread, maincourse is explained and dessert optional!
