Osteria Giorgione da MASA

The food and the service here were incredible. The waiters really go above and beyond to provide quality service. The waitress recommended me dishes for someone who isn’t a big fan of fish - and I was pleasantly surprised. Would recommend making a reservation before going.

Wonderful Japanese Italian fusion. Staff were friendly, welcoming and were attentive to our dietary needs. The menus makes all allergens very clear. The staff speak English well which helps. The room is smaller and fills quickly with lively conversation sometimes on the louder side however the atmosphere is friendly. There is extensive wines available, beers however non alcoholic drinks are limited. Coke was the only soft drink available. We were offered a tasty amuseboosh to get the meal started. Love the cross over of Japanese and Italian. The eel was really tasty, my partner loved the gyoza. I can definitely recommend this restaurant.

Food was very good. Japanese cuisine make sense for the abundance of fresh fish available in Venice, but the meal was well executed, and felt very special. Presentation was gorgeous and the flavors were homey and comforting, but refined. The chef’s menu came with about 18 dishes, most were a little bite, but also included more substantial plates. Everything was good, I ate all of it. For around €50 it was a great experience. Small, but interesting selection of sake. The staff was very kind and super knowledgeable about what they were putting on the table.

Something difrent in Venice, if you like japanese kichen, you must try. All food was very deliciuos and difrent

I had great expectations for this fusion cuisine experience, but they were deluded. First of all, the concept of mixing these two types of cuisines is interesting but does not work well. I ordered the special japanese cicchetti and I was presented with ridiculous portions, not even sufficient for a bird. These included a cicchetto made of two thin slices of cucumber, two dices of carrots and tiny strips of seaweed; and another one that was a tiny bite of salad with a sauce and nothing else. This dish was composed of 7 microscopic cicchetti priced 28€, which is unbelievably expensive for what you get. Then I also ordered the gyoza that were quite good but still pricy and not coherent with the fusion idea of the restaurant, since there was nothing venician in it. In the end we paid 76€ for 2 but we left the restaurant hungry and frustrated. Giving the cost of the restaurant, I expected at least dressed and well-set tables, menus that are not falling into pieces and not covered in plastic. On the whole, they made a pretentious attempt but they failed.

This was definitely a more risky pick of ours. I mean, who would go to Venice just to eat Japanese food? Especially when they can get better ones back home 😂. Well here we are... The main reason why we picked this spot was because it's an actual Japanese chef making Venetian-inspired Japanese food. The food was absolutely delicious with a couple small caveats. The scallops and foie gras chiceti was salty. We did like how they used shaved foie gras though. Monkfish was fried well and was enough for the two of us; however, we did 2 orders... whoops! The swordfish rolls were DIY and I can confidently recommend it! The swordfish was marinated well.. they also gave us wasabi.. Simply 10/10 dish. The ramen was really expensive.. I know ramen dishes are meant to be simple but 19 euros for a bowl is very hard to swallow. The eggs were a bit overcooked.. It also should've come with more "luxurious" toppings at this price. We thought each dish would barely be enough for one person so we pretty much ordered two of everything. We were so WRONG. I recommend just sharing and saving your money (and stomach).

One of those Venetian restaurants that make you feel you are in New York. A proudly international Japanese tavern occupying an old traditional Osteria (the name comes from that old restaurant), they still maintain the old name at the entrance floor. Simple indoors environment and a small outdoor terrace. Friendly service. Chic and young clientele. Small menu. No tablecloths.

Excellent Japanese restaurant in Venice, Masa San creates his own style and brings his native roots into the traditional Venice tapas culture of Cicchetti. Think of an Izakaya style of cuisine in a city immersed in the water; Kurosawa & Rossellini - Hamaguchi & Alice Rohrwacher. Then only Vin Nature are served at Masa trattoria Japanese .... Subarashi
