Osteria Bakan

unbelievably fresh seafood selection! we got the fried fish mix and all were extremely fresh and tasty. the pasta were.. ammmaazing! the plates are quite huge. might be a good idea to share. we couldn’t finish everything. service is quite fast, and nice.

This was our best dining experience in Venice! So good we ate there twice in one day! If we were staying longer we would have gone back for even more! The food was fresh and delicious and our service was spectacular. We loved that it was family owned and to top it all off we had the pleasure of watching the 15 year old son of the owner cooking in the kitchen. Our experience was very refreshing and we highly recommend you trying this little gem.

I went there at dinner time. The food was so delicious. And, the waiter is funny. Because I'm Japanese, he spoke Japanese a little.

This was my first Italian dish experience in Venice and it was a good one. The ambience is nice and cozy. The attention is superb. The food is good also but not spectacular. It may be a bit pricey and I think they don’t put enough food for the price you are paying. They don’t give you tap water, you have to pay for it. For these reasons I give them 4/5

Restaurant is beautifully decorated and the seafood was lovely. One of the best meals we ate on our visit to Venice. The only problem was that the waiter would stand in the entrance of the room and watch us the whole time we were looking over the menu. We had a good laugh about it but it was a little off putting, especially as we were the only ones in the restaurant at the time. However, did mean service was very prompt when we were eventually ready.

Osteria Bakan is superb. The food was amazing and Ugo took fantastic care of us with excellent wine recommendations. It was so good we went back the next night and were just as pleased if not more so. The specials were fantastic. Not a tourist spot. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for authentic Venetian cuisine.

We found this place by chance as we were wandering around the residential area. The staff were very friendly and the food was excellent. I have the ravioli of the day (stuffed with cod and potato, served with cooked cherry tomatoes - delicious) and my wife had the seafood spaghetti - also very good. We shared a tiramisu, and were offered a free limoncello each (after we had paid, so not just to get a better tip) and it was the best we’d had so far. I would absolutely recommend this place!

One of the best restaurants we have eaten in Venice! The food and the wine were so good that my husband almost cried he was so happy. Definitely worth a visit! Beautiful food and friendly staff.

On our first night in Venice we wandered out and found this place. The lower back room where we were seated was an intimate location, though a bit crowded. Our server like so many in Italy, seemed at first almost put out with having to serve us, but then warmed up. However, he seemed to have a cold and was constantly wiping his nose--yuck! The food was good, though not great. Overall, I believe there are better choices in Venice.
