Trattoria Dai Tosi

I visited here for lunch on my last day in Venice and so happy that I experienced this restaurant! on the very peaceful and beautiful street far away from centre and tourist area. and the food was humble and full of flavours and delicious! attentioned to details and really nice service as well!

We typically tried this trattoria on our last day in Venice. What a shame as it was brilliant. Seems to mainly have locals as guests. The food was all very affordable and tasted fantastic. We had a couple of traditional starters followed by the most amazing pizzas. The service threw us a little as the lady serving originated from England and this saved us from murdering the Italian language - she was wonderful and gave great insight. Would I go back? Yes, I wouldn’t want to miss this friendly secret.

Lovely little spot, family owned and operated, if you are staying in the area I highly recommend this restaurant. We had the pizza 2 nights in a row, the charcuterie &cheese board was also nice. The table next to us had the local white fish and she said it was also very good. The owner, Paulo, made us feel at home and spoke very good English. The house wine was also very good.

What can I say? I would love not to share my opinion, so this place will stay the hidden gem forever, but we do not visit that often, here I go! We’ve stayed in Venice 11 years ago and had dinner in this Trattoria every night. We came this week and we were happy to find the same amazing atmosphere of ‘local’ and ‘homey’ and ‘only for those who know:)’ But of course the most amazing is the great food - best pizza ever! Thank you, Marco! - great friendly service - thank you to all hard working people of this restaurant- and thank you Paulo for keeping this amazing place and making it even better! We had different pizzas every evening, tried all of their pastas, several of the side dishes and local wine and beer of course - everything was perfect!

On a recent visit to Venice, we stumbled upon this restaurant while exploring our neighborhood. We ended up drinking or eating there 3 times on our 5 day visit to Venice. The pasta, meat, pizza and seafood were all amazing. Desserts finished off the evening perfectly. The staff were warm, friendly and knowledgeable and no tourists were in sight, save for our group. When they learned it was my mother's 80th, they made her a special candle and celebrated with us. I highly recommend this place!

One of the best restaurant experiences I've had in Italy (out of 15+ visits). Efficient, friendly service, very affordable, great food. Highly recommend the pasta with mussels and the steak.

Gorgeous meal in a lovely setting away from the crowds. Owners were so accommodating and attentive and the food was the best we had on our trip!

Great restaurant off the beaten path and away from the tourist heavy spots. The staff were so very friendly and efficient and lovely to talk to. The food was amazing, fairly cheap, and worth every penny.

Service was not friendly, only came once whole time to get order and to give food. Cover charge was expensive, menu was bland for seafood and didn't offer much. Had to wait in line just to pay because no one came to table. Pizza looked decent but said had one hour wait for it. Not worth going there at all

We arrived right at the noon opening and watched the outside tables fill up on this beautiful October day. We especially enjoyed the gaggle of local old guys who were having a boisterous conversation with their drinks. The location is great, on a shady quiet street in Castello, a little off the beaten track. We tried Puttanesca and Lasagna. Both were very good, and the prices, 9 euro and 8 respectively, seemed a bargain after other Venice restaurants. Hours are limited to lunch and dinner, check before going out of your way.

The food wasn't great but ok (we ordered only pizza), unfortunately they need to improve their service which was a disaster. Our presence was not appreciated and we felt we were unimportant. It's not ok to wait almost 25 minutes to get service and place an order. It's also not ok to clear plates from the table without comment and run away (while someone is still eating). Dessert or coffee was not offered to us. It also took a long time to get our check. In the end we went to pay at the bar. The service was clearly non existent on the day of our visit. I don't recommend this place.

AMAZING FOOD! I had the best pizza and pasta of my life. Waiter was very nice, spoke fluent English, and was quite helpful on what to pick. They had plenty of beverage and food options, something for everyone. Desserts were quite good, nothing short of perfection. Because outdoor seating was a bit crowded, the waiters kindly brought us out a table and seats in a more secluded area. Overall a wonderful experience and I look forward to eating here again!

Not a restaurant for tourists. Place is simple but quite cute. Excellent prices. Standard menu. Unfortunately, staff was very unfriendly. They were rude and made sure we were always served last. Even in line, they served those behind us so as to make us feel unwelcome. When we left, waitress apologized for the experience and told us she didn't like foreigners.
