Osteria Oliva Nera

Una vera delizia, consigliatissimo. Fiori di zucca delicati, bigoi sapidi, fegato ottimo, anguilla equilibrata, dolci ottimi, il tortino di datteri un'esperienza mistica. Complimenti

A very good restaurant to visit for very good Italian food

Oysters: Best we've ever had!... And we're from Canada's Maritimes...

Love this place. I have dinner here annually. It is a place that is always consistent.

Leider stand die Tür immer offen und es kam ziemlich kalt von draußen herein. Auf unsere Bitte, wurde sie kurz geschlossen, war dann aber wieder offen, weil das Essen aus der Küche wohl über die Straße getragen werden muss.

Best meal in Venice! Sublime. Quality ingredients, careful preparation, outstanding service AND reasonably priced. Go here- you will be delighted! Go here-you won’t be

Average nothing special pasta was a bit bland, bronzino was a bit dry a lil overcooked, and the lamb . Seems to be just the average tourist trap. Was quite overpriced for the quality sadly. Overall it was edible at best.

excellent food, fantastic service and an incredible house amarone. dont miss

Excellent food, brilliantly prepared! And a nice bottle of oil as a gift!

We loved this meal! Great place in the heart of Venice. Beautiful atmosphere and the food was delish. We can’t wait to return!

Mangiato bene, ambiente tranquillo, buon rapporto qualità prezzo. Hanno saputo coniugare i piatti della tradizione veneziana con l'innovazione.

Phenomenal meal with some of the best wine we’ve had! We were late for our reservation due to a storm, but Isabella did not mind at all, and made sure we still had the full dining experience. Don’t miss out.

Fantastic host. Fantastic food. Fantastic evening! Highly recommend for all!

Food was okay but not among the best in Venice.

Teuer aber sehr gut- für Venedig nicht selbstverständlich. Traditionelle Italienische Küche mit venezianischen Einschlag auf ausgezeichnetem Niveau ohne Schnörkel von freundlichen, witzigem mehrsprachigen Personal bedient verheißt einen angenehmen Abend.

The food was absolutely delicious – from the "sweet & sour over polenta" antipasto to the lasagne and the salmon "cooked at a low temperature." We finished off with an "exploding" chocolate cake and fresh berries soaked in port wine with gelato. The owner even recommended the perfect bottle of local white wine to accompany the meal. The food experience couldn't be beat! The staff was well trained, friendly, and attentive. Not being made of money, it was by far the most expensive meal we ate during our extended travels through Northern Italy, but we all agreed it was worth it!

Tolles Essen, netter Service und guter Wein. Definitiv ein vernünftiges Preis Leistungsverhältnis.

Super friendly, great food and relaxing environment. The zucchini flowers, pasta, meat and desserts were brilliant. Highly recommended.

Un parfait moment, des plats parfaitement réussit et un accueil adorable.

It is a good restaurant . Nice to stay there

We eat here every time we come to Venice. It is always delicious, and we always feel welcome. Definitely book a reservation.

We loved our dinner. The owner is warm and very helpful. The meal was delicious and our evening was perfect! Down to her walking us through the narrow paths to a private water taxi she had arranged for us. Highly recommend dinner at Osteria Oliva Nera!

A lovely unique restaurant with excellent food and great service.

Very authentic restaurant,very nice staff, good food,meat end fish,good Wine

We will return to Oliva Nera during our stay in Venice.

Very nice selections of local specialities and more. Dessert has fantastic

Great food , nice atmosphere, fair price, an all around positive experience

The staff - thoughtful, intelligent girls, dressed like Diana Rigg in the Avengers - are magnificent. Wine list interesting and fairly priced. Superb zucchini flower starters. Main courses very good, but vegetate an unfamiliar prospect! Desserts absolutely mind-blowing. Charming, stylish, modern and a very ‘together’ place.

Great restaurant very easy to find Great quality traditionnal venetian food and warm welcome from the hostess Very nice personnal attention We shall return Highly recommanded!

I’ve Been a couple of times over 15 years. Always send friends who are visiting Venic. Always the same—Great. NICE people! Hope to return soon.

The owner helped us with our wine and dinner choices and they were excellent. I had the venison and my husband ordered the salmon. Both dishes were cooked to perfection and extremely fresh. This restaurant came highly recommended by friends who ate here a year ago, and it did not disappoint!

Very good food but quality of service was appalling We had a very pleasant time with you 3 yrs ago and was looking forward to a pleasant night again. Unfortunately we were ignored most of the evening, we were left without drinks and waited 1 hr 15 mins for our main course. Not really acceptable I'm afraid. There won't be a third visit.

This is a must go to restaurant. I had the venison which the best ever. Very tender and done perfectly My wife had the lasagna which was so good 😊. Isabella is a wonderful host. The experience was perfect

Lovely restaurant. Great service. Our starters were so delicious. I had asked whether I could have polenta with a tomato sauce but hadn’t imagined a bowl of soft liquidy polenta and a bowl of sauce separately. The sauce was delicious but as a combination it didn’t work. My husband’s fish was cold. Lovely staff and owner but dissapointed in our mains.

Restaurante muy agradable y acogedor. La comida muy rica y la atención perfecta. Pedimos un plato fuera de carta para una niña pequeña y no hubo problemas.Para repetir en la próxima visita a Venecia.

Perfect! Wonderful dinner, wine and service! Highly recommend! This dinner was the best we had in not only Venice, but in all of Italy. Incredible

We DEFINITELY recommend this restaurant! Our server was very nice and the food was fabulous! Our favorite in Venice! My husband is a meat eater and my daughter and I eat a mainly vegetarian diet and all were impressed. Their wine recommendation was excellent too! The atmosphere is quaint and it's just off the touristy areas which was just what we were looking for. If we were staying longer, we would absolutely have had dinner there again.

Had wonderful tuna and a great bottle of local white. Followed by a huge and fabulous tiramisu. Atmosphere perfect, we sat inside as it was a chilly day but that was great

La cena era deliziosa. Il servizio era molto buena. Mio marito e io nos ha piaciuto molto cuesto ristorante. Si ritorniamo a Venezia, mangiaremo altre volta cui.

The host was excellent and efficient in view of how busy the restaurant was. I told her I visited her restaurant with my daughter Olivia 10 years ago, and commented how much we loved their own label Oliver oil she gave us then. The food was fantastic, particularly the starter of Baked Zucchini flowers was so delicious same high standard as 10 years ago. The sea bass was delicious and the service was very good. Will definitely visit the restaurant again on our next visit to Venice.

This was the most wonderful dining experience we had in 12 days in Italy. Everything was absolutely delicious, the service was perfect and the presentations amazing. We highly recommend! Can't wait to go back the next time we visit Venice!! Grazie mille!

a truly wonderful dinner at this lovely restaurant - the owner was so helpful and kind - it was our last night of vacation and this was the perfect end....we will come again!

Osteria Oliva Nera has delicious food and friendly service. I would recommend this to anyone local and visiting Venice. Let them make recommendations for you, but the zucchini flowers and raw seafood plate appetizers were amazing.

Very kind personal service and excellent cuisine as always in favourite restaurant in Venice. Recommending the fried fiori di Zucchini as appetizers, but everything else and afterwards is a true experience.

Very good restaurant, reasonably priced with great service from friendly staff. Very nice tables outside where you can watch the world go by. Recommended by a friend and were not disappointed.

Service was attentive, the food was excellent and the wine also lovely. Our first meal in Venice and was not bettered during our four night stay.

Our table was in the extension in the next building. There is no atmosphere whatsoever. One other couple was in there. Fortunately, we all spoke English, otherwise we might have left - the ambiance is as important as the food. The standard of cuisine was OK in places; good in others. Standouts were the lasagne, tiramisu with tuna just behind. Sea bass was average (slightly over cooked). Bigoli in salsa was way too salty for my taste - maybe Venetians like a lot of salt

Too expensive for the quality and portioning. It felt like it started off as a genuine Osteria and then got popular and expanded and became pretty much what I'd call a tourist trap. Tables are one inch away from each other, portioning very small for what is being charged, taste is very average and nothing special. Only good tastes are the desserts, which then are again overpriced at 12€ each

Genuine high quality food and excellent service in a quiet relaxed setting. A bit off the beaten track but well worth exploring. Would highly recommend!

Very nice restaurant with excellent food and lovely service! Not to forget the wine list!! The price level is absolutely worth it! We had a great evening!
