Trattoria alla Maddalena

"Feast on fresh-caught fish and seafood and wash it down with Italian wine during a leisurely summer lunch at Alla Maddalena on Mazzorbo Island. A 45-minute ferry ride from Venice and far removed from the crowds, this charming, less touristy and altogether tiny island in the Venice lagoon is wonderful place to escape for an afternoon. And Alla Maddalena serves amazing fried fish as well as top-notch mussels and clams, all of which can be eaten al fresco either in the back garden or by the canal. The trattoria is also known for handmade pastas and seasonal ingredients from fruits to locally hunted game like wild duck. (Mazzorbo isa short walk across footbridge from Burano Island, so if you're planning a trip to Burano, you can add a stop here for dinner.)"

Where Locals Eat in Venice - AFAR

"Located on Mazzorbo (attached to Burano and about a 45-minute boat ride from Venice), this island trattoria has a shaded front patio under a pergola and is praised for the best fried fish, excellent pasta, mussels and clams, and a memorable fig tart made with figs from the restaurant’s garden; it pairs well with a relaxed day of walking and a visit to the neighboring winery." - Ashlea Halpern
