Antica Locanda Montin

Absolutely the best meal! Pasta with pumpkin & walnuts, outstanding. I arrived right at opening time and the place filled up quickly, which says it all. The restaurant feels like a hidden gem with its garden-like courtyard & spectacular greenery. Even though it's close to famous museums, I loved that it didn’t feel touristy at all. Great service!

Would never be able to find it and definitely worth the effort to seek out this hidden gem. Very authentic feel and the food was excellent. The grilled scallops generous and melt in the mouth perfectly cooked. The spaghetti with clams slipped down a treat. Their grilled vegetables so full of flavour. Even the olive oil was delicious and rich.

A great place to stay in Venice! Just as advertised! In late July we stayed two nights here and were happy with our choice to stay here. The rooms were quiet and comfortable. We had two beds for a family of three. Beds were comfortable too. The AC worked well during warm days in the summer. ||The Dosodoro area was perfect! A twenty minute walk to San Marco across the Academia Bridge. During all times of the day and evening the sidewalk by the hotel was quiet and relaxing for an evening stroll. Peaceful, especially after a busy day at San Marco!!||Also relatively close to the San Traviso Boat yard (gondola repair shop), variety of eateries, bakeries and Gelato shops in the neighborhood. Honestly, if I was lucky enough to return to Venice again I would stay here. We also ate dinner at their restaurant and enjoyed our meal and service under the vine covered pergula. A very special experience!!

Delicious Venetian restaurant, a beautiful atmosphere and decor. The food is perfectly made and you can taste the great ingredients. Portions might be a little small for some people. The tiramisu was the best ive ever had

We have a final gathering dinner with all the students on 7/13. We suffer a serious issues that is the food that we share is not enough for the whole group of 18 people. The restaurant served very normal seafood to share. The environment is full of greenery but many bees and mosquito. Finally, we all paid for £40 and someone didn’t get food at all. It is better to choose cheaper and other better restaurants.

We had lunch in this restaurant today and I am very happy about taking this decision. If you are lucky with the weather, the garden is very beautiful. The food is delicious. Lots of local people, which is always a good sign. It was a little pricey for us (35-40€ per person), but this is relative. Our waiter was very friendly, but it’s always a matter of luck…

We Saw the good reviews in Google Maps and as my wife wanted to eat in one of Venice gardens we chose this one on our last day. Good good neither excepcional but well made and plated. A good and polite service (which IS rare in Venice). The portion are not large so recomendable to order anti pasta, first plate and a dessert. My wife enjoyed again tiramisú and I took a cake, which was tasty but a bit dry. First place Venice where my wife could order normal a spanish icecoffee. Best part the shade and view in the garden

Nice location, quiet rooms and a great restaurant. It's a 3-star but a really good one. Close to Academia bridge, vaporetto stops and only four stops to St-Mark's. You can even walk around Venice from here with a good map and a great sense of direction (honestly, this place is a maze).

Food was good-service was bad Was a recommendation from a friend and maybe it depended on who u had Dessert was good, pasta was okay The scallops were delicious

Anthony Bourdain ate here. I kind of wish I didn't. The art displayed inside is a neat detail but I wasn't impressed by the food. Portions are pretty small as well. I'd recommend the anchovy pasta.

The food here was fabulous and the courtyard is a beautiful spot to enjoy lunch or dinner in good weather. We had the gnocchi baked with cheese, asparagus and prawns and the pumpkin tortolloni and both were delicious. Plus, it's out of the way, so a more local experience. Highly recommended!

Delicious, authentic food only made better by lovely customer servic3. Brava Ana y grazie Bella!

Dined at Antica Locanda Montin in mid May. The restaurant has a large, beautiful courtyard out back. It was a lovely quiet oasis we thoroughly enjoyed after a day of sightseeing. Easy to make a reservation through their website...highly recommend. Excellent, professional service. The food was both visually appealing and tasted just as good. We each ordered appetizers; baby octopus and tuna tartare, both delicious. Entrees were spaghetti with clams and sea bass with tomatoes & capers, so good. Finished our meal with gelato with grappa and mascarpone cream with biscotti...yum! Highly recommend Antica Locanda Montin for a quiet, relaxing, delicious dining experience.

I had high expectations for Antica Locanda Montin, and honestly it didn't quite live up to it. After a busy morning fighting tourists at St. Mark's Square, I knew exactly what we were going to need for lunch, so I planed this ahead of time. We hopped on a boat and headed over to the much quieter and peaceful alleyways near the Accademia Gallery and found what we were looking for. The beautiful courtyard of Antica Locanda Montin and an aperol spritz to cool down. The first 20 minutes were perfect. A couple of nice appetizers of refreshing Tuna Tartare and Caprese Buffalo Mozzarella. Then all of sudden you would have thought a tour bus pulled up. It must have been a cruise ship tour. As maybe 100 people showed up and I suddenly realized that half of the patio was set up in banquet tables. At that point service for us got pretty dicey, and the patio got loud. A second round of drinks was never offered. We were lucky to get our order in before the mass of people came in, but as soon as they were sat down, their salads starting coming out. It felt like our main courses were forgotten about and it took 35 minutes between our appetizers and our main courses. I know service in Italy is more relaxed, but we had ordered about an hour before we saw our mains. Anyway it was kind of a shame because the serenity of their beautiful courtyard was lost as the place became a tourist attraction. Tuna Tartare - this was simple and the best dish I had here. 4.5 stars Caprese Buffalo Mozzarella - not near as good as what I had in Roscioli in Rome, not all cheese is created equal you know. But still enjoyable. 4 stars Baked tagliatelle with zucchini, fish, in a cream sauce - this was pretty tasty. The fish was perhaps a branzino? A flakey white fish for sure. The zucchini blossom cream sauce paired nicely with the fish. That said the tagliatelle pasta got a little overcooked since it baked for so long. Maybe it was fresh pasta, which doesn't work as well when baked. 4 stars Lasagna alla bolognese - not good. I don't know why my wife ordered it. This was completely mushy pasta. I've solved this with my own lasagna using dry pasta sheets and baking them uncooked. I don't want to tell an Italian how to make their own dish, but.... Also the bolognese was pretty flavorless. 1.5 stars Tortelloni stuffed with truffled mushrooms and robiola cheese. These were nice and rich and fresh pasta of course. The sauce was a simple butter and poppy seeds, which is all you need. 4.5 stars While our courtyard had been invaded by loud tourists, I did manage to get away for a few peaceful moments while waiting for our food and take in some of the art in the dining room. I had learned about this place (as I do many that I visit) from the late Anthony Bourdain RIP. The story goes that the owner used to sometimes accept art as credit from local artists who needed to pay their bar and food tab. Fun. And it's definitely worth taking a look at their collection, so don't just walk right past it all on your way out to the courtyard.

Highly recommend! Beautiful setting. Excellent service. Delicious food. Very authentic. Apparently visited by celebrities but not pretentious. My husband and I came here with our two kids and were seated right away. I loved the sea bass with tomatoes and olives. The kids had the pasta bolognese which I tasted and thought was excellent. We also enjoyed a selection of cheeses. I will definitely return here when I come back to Venice.

pomodoro was amazing and the garden at night was lovely. one of our favorite meals of the trip

Had lunch here on recommendation from our tour guide in Venice. We were taken through the small, nondescript indoor dining area into the beautiful arbored patio. Our waiter spoke excellent English and made good recommendations. We had the squid ink pasta and the monk fish both of which were excellent. Desserts and prosecco also good. Seemed to be a favorite with the locals. A must for any trip to Venice. Beware, the map is not correct. Ask for directions.

Superb. Gorgeous setting eating out back in the garden with gardenias and grape arbor. The tuna (tonno al ferri con salsa di basilico) was the most flavorful I've encountered. The scaloppine al limone was exquisite as was the spaghetti alle seppie. Everything was perfectly prepared and just delightful. Don't miss.

What a surprising spot in the Dorsoduro area! Tiny storefront right on the canal, but the back patio is humongous! It could probably seat 200. The patio is completely covered by arching foliage, and the place seems magically calm after the hustle and bustle that is Venice. This place would be heavenly on a hot summer day. We were given an Italian menu, and I didn't ask for an English one so not sure if they have it. The waitress spoke very good English, so it was no trouble finding out what the more unusual items on the menu were. We went for an all-seafood meal, which consisted of sour sardines and mixed seafood platter as appetizers, and grilled scampi and filleted seabass as mains. We tried to order pannacotta and affogato as desserts, which turned out to be a bit of a hassle. First we were told the pannacotta was not available. Then we were told that they will try making it for us but it won't be firm. Then it was brought to the table in a cup full of pannacotta soup, at which point we had to decide whether to keep it or not. In theory I appreciated the efforts to find a pannacotta for me when none was available, but all the backwards and forwards and then being under pressure either rejecting or accepting the food with two waiters staring at me, one having just gone out of his way to procure pannacotta out of thin air, made me feel a bit uncomfortable. We weren't even too keen on the damn pudding. I would've been perfectly happy with a simply 'sorry, it's not available right now'. We visited during a very quiet time (Monday lunch), so we had not one, but two waiters all to ourselves and we were well looked after. The lunch ended up on the pricier side totaling at EUR108 for two people, which I found a bit steep. All in all, nice restaurant if you are in the Dorsoduro district.

A wonderful place that you wouldn't find unless you were looking for it. My mother-in-law had eaten here 30 years ago at this place as well and she wanted to return. Everything we tried was very good. The Mediterranean style branzino was exceptional. We also got a baked pasta dish that was very good. We chose panna cotta and tiramisu for dessert. Both done perfectly. The service was very good. Liked it so much that we returned the next day and ate on the terrace. Highly recommend.

I love this place! There. I said it! It's so quaint and cute and the food was delicious! I went on a recommendation from a former boss and was not disappointed! We started off with the prosciutto and figs which was delicious. The star really were the golden figs, which are hard for me to find back in the states! Then I had a baked pasta with zucchini and fish and was actually touched a little bit on a soulful note. You could tell the food was made with love and was a recipe from someone's mother. The tiramisu was excellent! The only reason I'm not giving it a 5/5 rating is because the clams in my mom's spaghetti with clams were gritty, like they needed to be soaked an extra minute or two before cooking. All in all, DEFINITELY go to Antica Locanda Montin! It was the perfect way to cap off my trip to Venice!

We visited this location from a recommendation and reviews (were mixed). I was truly DISAPPOINTED. I ordered lasagna and the top half was COLD!! It proved that the plate was the only reason was the bottom half was hot. Now, I did enjoy the presseco!!

had a wonderful lunch at the restaurant. the back patio was shaded and cool during the heat. the lasagna was delicious, the service was great, and the experience was wonderful.

Wow crazy find here. Walking around and looked through the door to a beautiful garden so we went in and decided to stay. Ordered the Caprese salad and it was like an artist put the plate together. Also there was more mozzarella than tomatoes, when has that ever happened? The balsamic was like a syrup that I would have put on gelato it was so good. My wife ordered the lasagna and I ordered the homemade tortelloni. This may have been the best meal we had in Italy. Both dishes were prepared perfectly and we shared because we both wanted more. We really considered going back the next day for more. I highly recommend this place and it is absolutely a hidden gem.

Had the Sea Bass with olives, and it was literally the best fish I've ever had in my life. The restaurant itself has a fantastic ambience, I recommend sitting in the gorgeous open back. Titanium was also fantastic.

Brought five of my grandchildren to dine and get away from the chaos of tourists. I had eaten here to celebrate our 10th anniversary some 40+ years ago and still remember the "pasta al forno" that was unforgettable. Sadly that chef is no longer there but the waiter assured me the pasta is wonderful and so it was. The children: 18,17 and 16 years old ranked it as their favorite meal during our trip. I recommend this restaurant to anyone traveling. It is a bit difficult to find but the food and ambiance are worth the search!

Horrible, horrible food. We had, as per the waiter's recommendation, the gnocchi, and this other pasta with pumpkin and zucini flowers as appetizers and the seabass with olives x 2 for the mains since the waiter was raving about it. (came out to €80, no wine) The appetizers, had all the subtlety of flavor as Kraft mac & cheese. It was just baked pasta with a boat load of cheese. The seabass were two soggy pieces of seabass in day old oil, with cherry tomatoes and olives randomly strewn on top of the fish. Look I know a lot of these reviewers must have been intoxicated by the magic of being in venice and taking in the legitimately very lovely dining area, but take it from someone who travels for work and doesn't give a crap about venice, only good food: this place sucks.

Wow that was one of the best meals I ever had! I would come here again in an instant. Came here unfortunately it was too cold to sit outside. The waiters were attentive, the place was nice and the food was excellent.

Thank you Yelp! It's really important to choose carefully for meals in Venice, and this place near S. Barnaba Sq. has a beautiful garden setting, good classic dishes and attentive service for lunch. We had Caprese salad, spaghetti with clams (vongole), and tortalini filled with spinach.

Amazing meal. Wish I had gone earlier in my trip as I would have been back. Memorable last dinner, great food, beautiful setting. Fish with olives was perfect.
