Taverna La Fenice

Good food, wine and service, worth a new visit next time in Venice

Beautiful atmosphere and delicious food. One of our best meals in Venice so far.

Beautiful surrounds, service, food and wine quality on every level.

Beautiful restaurant with great service and the food was excellent!!

The pasta is amazing. Lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend the squid and polenta. Fabulous service

This restaurant is very much off the beaten path, but still easy to get to. We noticed the ambiance of the restaurant which was quirky with indoor seating outside for drinks and a few tables filled with customers - this attracted us to take an inside table. The inside was very authentic Venetian full of crimson and dark wood - a cosy romantic atmosphere virtually in a private dinning setting. Low lightening and music at the right volume added to the experience. The waiters are a little slow for my liking but perhaps that’s the Venetian way. The food was excellent on a menu that isn’t necessarily extensive. We had a pasta dish with mushrooms and the beef fillet - both were excellent and recommend.

The food was terrible, portions were small, and the service was average, especially considering how expensive this place is. 3 appetizers and three entrees with two drinks ran 220 euro. For that, we received two duck breasts that were overcooked and under-seasoned, a 4-oz portion of salmon, as well a severely overpriced zucchini flowers, and burata that was more like the consistency of mozzarella. The prosciutto and melon was acceptable, but could not redeem this otherwise terrible meal.

The location the food and the service were outstanding! I highly recommend this restaurant.

wonderful reataurant. amazing food. attentive staff and great location around the corner of La Fenice

Very good - food was excellent and service was quite good. Lovely atmosphere.

A beautiful evening with great food and friends. Good service too

Just ok. Tables outside for a drink looked lovely. Dinner food and service were just so so. Expected more.

Excellent food, by far the best we’ve found in Venice yet. Stay away from the tourist traps along the canal. This place is well worth the visit.

The restaurant was in a lovely setting. The food was average, nothing really stood out. We had the zucchini flowers, my mothers are better. Our portion was small and it was strange because the people next to us ordered the same thing and they received well over double the portion we had... very strange.

Amazing food , everything was delicious and we had great service

Our group of 4 adults had a delightful meal at Taverna La Fenice. Service was friendly and attentive. Food was delicious and wine list had many options that we enjoyed.

The most expensive meal we ate in Florence, because we needed a place with more than seafood. Sorry that the lack of English seemed to make the experience harder, and the waiter was not trying to be pleasant. Wine good, food good. No ambience.

Excellent food!! Everything was perfect! We’ll be back again for a dinner!!

We arrived a hour early but were seated and enjoyed an amazing dinner. The service was great and the food sublime.

Dining was great, we really enjoyed the quality of the food.

The most wonderful original restaurant loved the outside seating and cosy interior everything was perfect

We have a great dinner at the table outside, the dishes were amazing

Extremely tasty food, very friendly and welcoming service. The restaurant decor is beautiful! Grazie!

Beautiful restaurant. Lovely staff. Had the chateau Briand whiywas amazing! Would highly recommend. 5***

The location is living on its past history Food was OK but the service was poor

Fantastic food, nice and quick service. Will certainly come back!

Perfect in every way. I came here first in 1980 with my parents and remember it vividly. I’ve been several other times but it was Wonderful to come back once more. Delicious, friendly, helpful staff. Couldn’t have enjoyed it more. Grazie Mille!

Great food. Good ambiance. One of the best experience in Venice. Service could be more attentive for people who made time to book a table. Best expresso martini in the whole world!

It was a good experience, with good food. When we first arrived, the person who met us at the door seemed cold at first, maybe snooty or indifferent. We worried if we made a bad choice. But the served were far more friendly, and everything was fine, wit good food and wine.

La comida muy buena, el trato por el camarero que nos atendió muy correcto también pero tardaron 45 minutos en servirnos los primeros platos, y así todo … lo de caro ya se ve en la carta …

Ok perfetto e ottimo tutto saluti ciao a presto! Ok

Great visit !!! Loved the restaurant. Amazing service and food

Lovely atmosphere, great food and Gennaro made you feel so welcome, try his cocktails, they are amazing !!

Très cher pour 3 plats, restaurant pourtant conseillé par l’hôtel. C’est le véritable restaurant attrape touristes. Nous avons fait largement de meilleurs tables à Venise et moins cher. La gentillesse des serveurs ne compense malheureusement pas ce prix exorbitant

The restaurant is in a very nice area, just behind the theatre. We had an outside table which was nice. The front of house was unfriendly and unbothered by his customers. Our waiter was very nice but attending many tables (maybe too many?) - We had to wait quite a long time for our food to arrive (average food), so long that we decided not to have anything else and left after the main course. I would not recommend this place, expensive and touristy

We previously reserved a table and arrived early so decided to have cocktails sitting outside. Unfortunately the armchairs were taken so sat at a table. When our 2 cocktails arrived ( porn star martini + another) we didn’t like either of them. I explained that I drink porn star martini in London & it usually has passion fruit juice in it. The waiter shrugged & said well this is the way we do it here. I left mine. When our meal came the lamb was absolutely delicious but where the vegetables I ordered with them I asked? The waiter went off but didn’t return. We finished our lamb and, after I complained to the head waiter & our plates had been cleared a plate of vegetables appeared with 2 spoons! Useless!,! We sent them away & complained again receiving 20% off . It was supposed to be my 70th birthday treat. A ruined evening & complete failure. We had a meal the next evening which was enjoyable & fun at quarter of the price.

We were a bit surprise with an atmosphere being a little but too formal a

Great outdoor seating and staff. Enjoyed our dinner including dessert!

Ordered a beer and it was served in a Red Wine glass. When I asked the waiter to bring a proper beer glass, he showed up with a smaller white wine glass. I gave up and drank it from the bottle.

The food and service was amazing! It was our favorite restaurant during our time spent in Venice!

Long after taking the order-- and as other appetizers were arriving we were informed that one of the ordered appetizers was not available; then we were brought wrong main courses for two people. While the restaurant didn't charge for certain errors, the money was irrelevant. When one goes to a supposedly good restaurant in Venice and is forced to conclude "non abbiamo mangiato bene"-- the restaurant should be embarrassed-- and other customers should be forewarned.

👍👍👍👏👏👏🤪thank you for this geat evening!!! See you in November 2020😀 Best regards Peggy and Jürg🤗🤗🤗

Excellent food and service. I had lunch, which I prefer, so it was quiet, soothing and intimate. Excellent veal and soufflé of potato’s with mushrooms. I had the chocolate mousse. Amazing. Restaurant is on the gourmet side, smaller rations and exquisite flavor and presentation. I loved it.

Toller Service, und traumhaftes Ambiente, sehr gutes Essen, wirklich empfehlenswert

Perfect very good and great atmosphere Highly recommendation for all

We could not sit outside. The service was abysmal except for the initial welcome to the table. Food was overpriced

Reserved a table at 16:00 so we could eat before the opera. No one ever mentioned that they only have a light menu at that time. Dinner was a bust.

Prezzi esorbitanti con porzioni molto piccole. Ed inoltre oltre al coperchio di 5 euro a testa mi sembra assurdo applicare anche una maggiorazione del 10% sul totale scontrino. Posto carino ma oltre a questo nulla. Ci sono altri ristoranti in zona validi e che ti fanno mangiare piatti tipici veneti.

Für ein Treffen mit Freunden aus Übersee ein sehr geeignetes Lokal

Service was very good. Pasta okay. Very nice location and very nice looking restaurant.
