Osteria La Pergola

Price is so much higher and isn’t worth it. Worst meal we’ve had in Venice

The owner is very charismatic and attentive, the food was excellent, we enjoyed a variety of local dishes, including Baccala' Mantecato, Schie with polenta, and Capesante al forno, the Risotto with Asparagus and Shrimp was excellent, portions are fair, would have liked larger portions as you would expect at an Osteria. They offer a great house Prosecco and homemade desserts. The ambiance is charming and the decor appropriate. Pricing was on the higher-end for an Osteria, the bathroom facilities are upstairs, not wheelchair accessible and not very clean and maintained.

Food was terrific. Unique flavor combinations and ingredients. Service was outstanding (thank you Giovanni!). Dinner for three, including a bottle of house wine, was €111. Excellent value.

Excellent pasta and gnocchi. The waiter was attentive and charismatic. The terrace is very nice looking and the bathrooms are super clean.

Locally recommended, we were warmly welcomed and served by waitstaff. Cozy atmosphere, frequented by local families, very good food. Relaxing and fulfilling.

Giovanni was the best host ever! He explained the whole menu and recommended very good wine. The food was excellent and the place itself is charming. Grazie per tutto!

What a find! Stayed nearby to see Venice and found the best food we've had in 6 months of full time travel (Portugal, Germany, Croatia & more). Giovanni (owner & waiter was personable and helpful). Food was outstanding. We had caponeta di verdure dell'orto, bottled water, half bottle Cabernet, two spaghettoni 'Benetto Calvavieri' all Amatraiciana' fresh pasta. So tasty! 50 eu. First class service, food and drink. Atmosphere is a 10, relaxing. Do yourself a favor and eat here!

Most essentially: My wife cant eat (or even smell) fish. And we didnt expect their menu to be completely seafood-based. BUT the waitress went to ask the chef and he came and he put together a first and second course for her completely from scratch AND he made both courses for me with seafood in a way that wouldnt bother her. It was incredibly delicious, we were absolutely satisfied, the food, the prosecco, the service, the music: everything was over the top satisfying and incredible. It felt like at home, just with better food 😄 We loved every second, including the recommendations and accommodations 🫶🏻
