Algiubagio

Fantastic!!! The food was outrageously good. Each bite a taste sensation. We were very early for lunch but they accommodated us so warmly. The staff were attentive the wine list extensive the service impeccable. Best restaurant in Venezia!!! Whatever you do visit this place… You won’t regret it.
*get the crema di patate con tartufo

Fabulous restaurant! It’s right on the water which is nice and may seem a bit out of the way but close enough to the ferry stop to be worth the ride. You can sit inside or out depending on the weather. We chose inside since it was a bit chilly and the décor is very very nice. Great service as well.
They have tasting menu options or you can order from the menu, which we did. The zucchini flowers and langoustines app was really tasty but do wish they gave a little more. For a main course the rabbit rage over pasta was incredible. The rabbit was perfectly cooked as was the pasta and the olives were a spot on addition. Also try the pasta with scallops and carrots, great cream sauce on that dish as well.

The food was decent… but the waiters were rude. Very pretentious. The food and service down the street was way better as was the service.

Great food, great service! We had a wonderful waiter who was able to suggest us what is «a must’ to try. Will always recommend this place to friends who travel to Venice.

Very disappointing. We tried this restaurant based on numerous great reviews and were very disappointed in the service and the food. We arrived at 8pm, ordered shortly after. Food did not arrive until after 9:30. Some of the dishes were cold. Flavor and quality was not good. We were very unimpressed. Food was not worth the price.

Such a disappointing meal for our last night in Venice. We booked this restaurant based on a recommendation from our hotel concierge (perhaps that was our first mistake) but checked TripAdvisor and Unilocal reviews to make sure it was good before reserving a table. Arrived at 8:30pm and the place was EMPTY! Another bad sign. Ordered a glass of prosecco which was forgotten. Cut our losses and ordered a bottle of wine (recommended by our waiter) which was awful. Entrees (vegetables with mozzarella and the prawns in zucchini flowers) were just ok. Wouldn’t order again. Then the mains; these were truly terrible. I had the gnocchi which another reviewer called «blobs of mashed potato» and I couldn’t agree more. The six blobs didn’t resemble gnocchi at all. And in Italy! My husband had the fish (riccolo or something?) which was cooked almost raw, very pink in the middle which he didn’t like and did not expect from a white fish. He left most of it. When the waiter came to collect the plates he queried as to why so much was left and my husband said that it was undercooked/​raw. The waiter just stared back and didn’t offer any compensation or even an apology. Needless to say we skipped dessert. It was our worst food experience in all of Italy, and the most expensive. 2 entrees, 2 mains and 1 bottle of wine was $ 115euro. Do yourself a favour and go elsewhere in Venice. La Zucca gets our vote, we had a great lunch there!

This is a fantastic place to stop for dinner. We were four and tried many items from the menu. The food is all skillfully prepared and innovative at the same time. Service is attentive but that doesn’t mean that you feel rushed at any time. We had items ranging from veal cheeks to pasta and let’s just say the food was so good that the talking at the table ceased when each course was brought out.
The only issue is the proximity to the Vaporetto stop. Occasionally you will get a whiff of diesel exhaust but is fleeting and the view far outweighs the sounds and smells.

We came in for a late lunch. We had fantastic pasta (one sardine, the other melanzanne/​auberine/​eggplant) and deserts. The tiramisu they tailored for the kids swapping the coffee for chocolate truffle. With excellent, friendly service, it we’ll deserves these good reviews.

After a month in Europe we were in need of a really relaxing upscale dining experience. We found it here. The food was outstanding, the service was impeccable. The atmosphere stunning and relaxing. My husband and I have two well behaved pre teens, that being said, I still prefer to arrive to a restaurant early so that couples will feel less intimidated (put off by children) in the later hours. We did arrive here 30 minutes before the kitchen officially opened but they generously allowed us to sit out on the deck and have wine while they set up. Dinner was fabulous and we ended up spending three hours here. My husband and I and our children were absorbed in the meal and all of the flavors. With out the worry of driving, we ended up ordering a lot more wine than we would have otherwise. This may be the reason that the manager comped us incredibly beautiful deserts. Some kind of sorbet with berries and mint and another flavor that I wish I could remember. A perfect meal for our last evening in Venice. Also, this restaurant is off the tourist path. It definitely has a more authentic taste and feel. I almost don’t want to leave such a good review. I very nearly wish to keep it a secret. Last thing, the photos that people have posted are a very accurate representation.

Notre restaurant rituel. Nous venons deux fois par an à Venise, et nous nous assurons de pouvoir venir ici. Jamais déçu, service chaleureux et stylé, excellente sélection de vins, des mets de poisson très délicats et fins. Encore hier soir avec des amis. Tous ont été enchantés. Et quand il fait beau, magnifique vue sur la lagune nord, san Michele et Murano. Bref un bijou.

We just happened to be in Venice when some friends were and she picked this restaurant based on location and rave reviews about the food. We got really good seats overlooking the water.
The pasta was amazing! After having handmade pastas I always say I would never go back to machine made ones. The texture was perfect! All of their dishes were very good; I don’t think there was a complaint at all. The staff was a little cold though but we enjoyed our lunch there.

Fantastic! Make a reservation for dinner on the dock. Don’t miss this place. I had the Venice chicken which was incredible. Wife had the sea bass which I found slightly bland buy perfect for her taste. On the higher end price wise but worth every penny.

Very nice place, great location, great food, great service, great wines!
We had a great diner at this quite modern restaurant. They make the traditional dishes with a modern twist. We wanted to taste as much as we could and were able to share dishes of antipasti, primi, secundi, a great Italian cheeses platter, and dulce with very nice local Veneto wines and a nice special desert-​wine.
Probably you already know but most restaurants fill up easily in Venice so reservations are a good way to prevent disapointment.
There is a great terrace overlooking the lagoon towards the Cemitero and Murano islands. The terrace can be in the shadow for a big part of the day and if it is windy it will definitely be too cold to sit outside here anyway.
The restaurant is right at the Fundamente Nuove boat stop and it is about a 15 minute walk across the Canneregio area from Rialto.

I normally do not write reviews. But This is the best restaurant I ever had in Italy.
Best wine and best steak, highly recommended. Seafood is fresh and very tasty. Don’t forget to get yourself a homemade dessert.
You can sit next to the river, but I choose to sit inside, which is also very good. The location takes some time to walk, but it worths.
The price is just a little higher than others in Venice, but the food and service is much more better.

* Best dinner in Venice and Italy
* We dined on a beautiful dock over the water
* The place is located away from the tourists and off the main streets of Venice
* Impeccable service
* Steaks on the menu, which is a rarity in Italy
* Homemade tiramisu was the best I have ever had
* Delicious and creamy basil, lemon sorbet
* Great house Pinot Grigio

I found it hard to rate this place in the sense that it had a lot of the things I had hoped for but missing some things I would consider essential.
For location this is definitely a 5 stars. It’s quiet, romantic, classy and understated. It’s away from all the tourist areas and very calm and peaceful. The service is impeccable and the waiter we had was incredibly accommodating. They also did everything to ensure our special occasion truly felt special.
The food however was 3 stars for me. My steak was cooked to perfection but lacked seasoning. The tuna tartar was nice but the sauce had a really flowery taste to it instead of the Wasabi flavour. My wife had a tart which was supposed to have cheese and cherry and as it turns out it was cheese and chicory (yes there is a big difference).
Coffee here is excellent. Maybe I should come back try the seafood and pasta as my wife loved her Truffle infused spaghetti :-) I would definitely come back here for ambience and service and try something different next time.

Obwohl das Restaurant eine klasse Küche hat, haben wir hauptsächlich wegen der tollen Lage direkt am Wasser liegenden Terrasse hier gebucht. Leider war es ausgerechnet an diesem Abend so stürmisch, dass draußen nicht eingedeckt werden konnte. Also wurden wir im bootshausähnlichen Innenraum platziert zwischen Weinflaschenkisten und allerlei Krimskram. Flair könnte man sagen, uns war es etwas zu unruhig — optisch — laut ist es aufgrund der Nähe der Tische sowieso. Die Küche war ausgezeichnet, ebenso der Service. Trotzdem fehlte uns das gewisse Etwas, zumal die Preise mir überhöht schienen. Bei gutem Wetter ist dieses Lokal jedoch unschlagbar romantisch, so dass wir auf jeden Fall einen zweiten Anlauf wagen werden.

Gar nicht einfach, in Venedig ein Restaurant für einen besonderen Abend, aber ohne horrende Preise und/​oder Touristen-​Nepp zu finden — dies ist offenbar eines der wenigen. Alles hervorragend von der problemlosen Vorreservierung per e-​Mail über den Service und das Ambiente vor Ort (altes Bootshaus, Muranoleuchter an der Decke) und natürlich dem Essen selbst. Wir hatten als Hauptgang Bistecca Fiorentino, dass uns in Scheiben leicht vorgegrillt mitsamt einem Lavasteingrill zum fertiggrillen direkt am Tisch serviert wurde, dazu ein wunderbarer Rotwein und anschließend noch Tiramisu vom Feinsten was will man mehr?
Die Fleischqualität war erstklassig, die Vorspeisen, u. a. Jakobsmuscheln frisch und mit toller Sauce. Preise wie in Deutschland in besserem Restaurant auch. Jederzeit wieder!

Restaurant der gehobenen Preisklasse, welches direkt am Wasser gelegen ist. Allerdings hat man am Abend leider keine Sonne, was im Sommer sicher von Vorteil ist, im Frühling leider schade. Die Speisen waren gut, ich würde aber nicht sagen, überragend. Die Bedienung war zurückhaltend freundlich. Die Preise sind, auch für Venedig, doch recht hoch. Wenn man vor 18.30 Uhr kommt, darf man nicht auf dem Steg sitzen, da dieser für Gäste reserviert ist, die zu Abend essen wollen, was an sich auch in Ordnung ist. Wir hatten allerdings eine Reservierung und waren etwas früher da, mussten aber dennoch ein wenig diskutieren, dass wir uns direkt setzen dürfen und nicht erst eine halbe Stunde an einem anderen Tisch sitzen und dann wechseln wollen.

Sehr schönes Restaurant im hinteren Teil der Hauptinsel. Personal freundlich, Essen hervorragend. Auswahl etwas eingeschränkt. Der Ausblick auf der Terrasse wir nur durch den Schiffsverkehr getrübt. Aber wenn man davon absehen kann, wie wir, der verbringt einen schönen Abend hier.

Das Restaurant ist supergemütlich, das Essen ist der Hammer und Preis-​Leistung überdurchschnittlich für Venedig. Hier hat man nicht das Gefühl, den Touri-​Aufschlag mitzubezahlen.

The view was exactly what we were looking for, the staff was great, the food was good, but I don’t expect that this meal will make our top 5 list for our Italian vacation.

Ein wirklich unglaublich gutes Restaurant. Meiner Meinung das beste in Venedig. Absolut zu empfehlen!

Excellent place to sit and have a drink or a meal on a sunny day on the waterside. Looking out on San Michele as the boats go past is so relaxing! You have a view of the airport runway in the distance too so you can see planes landing. They do a great spritz and the lemon sorbet with mint and basil is lovely. It’s a must if it’s a nice day.

This is certainly one of the top 10 restaurants in all of Venice for outstanding Italian food with an incredible ambiance. The food is absolutely delicious and beautifully represented. The terrace is simply marvelous with amazing views overlooking the lagoon. If you are looking for a romantic Italian restaurant which you’ll remember forever this is the place. Friendly service, beautifully prepared food, great views, and delicious wine. I highly recommend this restaurant with 5 stars!

Tolles Restaurant direkt am Wasser. Haben draussen gesessen.
Nicht gerade günstig, aber gute Qualität mit übersichtlicher Karte, schöné Weine. Reservierung ist zu empfehlen. Das Tiramisu ist Weltklasse.
Beim nächsten Besuch in Venedig sicher wieder ein Anlaufpunkt.

Das Algiubagio ist ein wirklich tolles Restaurant, das sich von den üblichen Pizzerien und Trattorien der Stadt abhebt. Eine Reservierung war erst wieder in 2 Tagen möglich (bis dahin alles voll), also sind wir spontan am gleichen Abend hingegangen. Natürlich sollte man, wenn das Wetter es erlaubt, draußen auf der schönen Terrasse mit einem tollen Blick auf’s Wasser sitzen. Aber auch drinnen war es nett eingerichtet.
Der Kellner war von Anfang an sehr freundlich. Vor allem für Venedig schon eine Besonderheit; im allgemeinen sind hier die Servicekräfte eher etwas muffelig. Auf dem Tisch standen zwei wunderschöné Trinkgläser aus Murano-​Glas, die ich erst für Teelicht-​Halter hielt. Aus solchen Gläsern schmeckt das Wasser doppelt gut ;-).
Als Vorspeise bestellten wir Prosciutto di Parma und Spaghetti mit Cherrytomaten und Büffelmozzarella. Der Parmaschinken war äußerst lecker und obwohl das Spaghetti-​Gericht eher langweilig klingt, war es doch perfekt abgeschmeckt. Als Hauptgang gab es dann Seeteufel mit Chicorée und Honigsoße und Rinderfilet mit Gorgonzola und Wodka beides eine Wucht und wirklich gute Portionen. Zum Nachtisch dann das unvermeidliche Tiramisu, das bereits optisch ein Traum ist und auch so schmeckt.
Der ganze Spaß ist dann natürlich nicht günstig; wir haben 100 EUR für zwei Vorspeisen, zwei Hauptgerichte, 1 Dessert, 1 Flasche Wasser und 1 Flasche Wein (Hauswein, sehr zu empfehlen und mit 15,00 EUR noch wirklich erschwinglich) bezahlt. Aber einmal kann man sich so eine Schlemmerei auch gönnen ist ja schließlich Urlaub: o)

Sowohl ein von der Atmosphäre als auch vom Essen her überzeugendes Lokal. Der Service war erstklassig. Gehobene Preise aber für Venedig Verhältnisse ok. Sehr große Auswahl an guten Weinen und hervorragendes Tiramisu!

Kaum ist man in Venedig angekommen, beginnt er schon der Slalom um die Menus Turistici, die beflissenene bis aufdringliche Restaurantbesitzer anpreisen. Wir sind nicht auf sie hereingefallen wir haben uns auf unser kulinarisches Ziel konzentriert: das Alguibagio. Zum Glück: Auge und Gaumen waren an diesem Abend gleichermaßen begeistert. In einem Gebäude, das sicher mal ein Bootshaus war, wird moderne venezianische Küche gereicht. Dicht an dicht stehen die kleinen Tische, abgetrennt durch Türme aus Weinkisten, die dem an sich edlen Restaurant etwas Zünftiges geben. Überhaupt der Wein: Der weiße Hauswein hat mich beglückt wie kein anderer in diesen drei Tagen. Die passende Begleitung für die Jakobsmuscheln in feinem Sud und den Seeteufel an Trauben-​Rosmarin-​Honig-​Sauce. Beim Nachtisch wurde ich dann unoriginell. Die Karte hätte durchaus mehr geboten als Tiramisu. Das fand man in der Küche wohl auch, denn unaufgefordret kredenzte man uns das Zitronensorbet mit Minze und Basilikum, dessen Geschmacksnuancen fein aufeinander abgestimmt waren. Natürlich: Billig war unser Menü nicht, aber an Hamburger Preise gewöhnt erschien es uns angesichts der Qualität auch nicht haarsträubend teuer. Wie wollten uns etwas gönnen und das haben wir getan.

Wer Venedig liebt liebt auch dieses Lokal. Vormittags (wie auch den Rest des Tages und der Nacht) eignet sich der vordere Teil des Lokals hervorragend um bei einem Aperol Sprizz oder einem Espresso auf das nächste Vaporetto Richtung Murano zu warten.
Gegen Abend verwandelt es sich in ein sehr stilvolles Speiselokal, welches sich im hinteren Teil befindet. Die Kellner sind freundlich und zuvorkommend (keine Selbstverständlichkeit in der Lagunenstadt). Die Küche ist mediteran, jedoch mit internationalen Akzenten. Preislich eher im oberen Bereich angesiedelt ist die Qualität der Speisen hervorragend. Beeindruckend auch die Weinkarte, die von der preisgünstigen Flasche Hauswein bis zum Sassicaia reicht. Alles in allem ein hervorragendes Lokal dass einen Besuch wert ist. Will man abends essen sollte man aber reservieren

When I lived in Venice, it took a while to seek out the truly good eateries that didn’t have point and eat menus in multiple languages, or charge the earth for mediocre offerings. Unfortunately for me back then, I didn’t find Algiubagio, even though it’s been run by the same family for 50 odd years. On a more recent visit to Venice, Monsieur and I stayed at a hotel on the Fondamente Nuove, looking out across the lagoon at San Michele, however, when we arrived it was late at night and not many places in the vicinity were still serving food. We were starving so the hotel receptionist pointed us a few doors down the Fondamenta to Algiubagio. This was to be one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had in Italy.
In spite of our lateness, the staff were welcoming and a waiter who’d once worked in London carefully guided us through the menu. We chose a starter selection platter to kick off with, including a most unusual mix of tastes, from carpaccio of reindeer to a spoonful of creamy cheese from the Veneto topped with lagoon-​grown grapes. The carbon footprint of most of the food served at Algiubagio is low, because wherever possible, they use local produce. Even the olive oil, pressed by a firm called Planeta, was out of this world — probably hence the name. We fought over the trofie, small handmade twirls of pasta, simply drizzled with oil and tossed with cherry tomatoes, diced mozzarella and rocket, and I tried their juicy wild duck breast, which was flavoured in a semi-​Asiatic way with aromatic spices. The menu boasts Argentinian Angus beef in a number of tempting guises, including one fillet served with apple and chocolate sauce. If you’re into beef and can forget about food miles for a moment, this is an Algiubagio signature dish.
Vegetarians won’t be left out in the cold, however; there is plenty of choice: a number of fresh salads, various warm vegetable dishes and pastas.
In spite of the richness of the dishes on Algiubagio’s menu, the prices are varied to suit wallets of different sizes. For instance, the wine list, which typically features local wine, starts at 14 Euros per bottle — not bad for pricey Venice.
In addition to formal dining, Algiubagio offers informal daytime snacks of tramezzini sandwiches or pastries and rich coffee from their bar overlooking the lagoon. This place is no secret from the locals, who flock here for their morning repast. On summer evenings the terrace is littered with candlelit tables, from which diners enjoy gazing out at the islands of the lagoon, whilst in winter the dining room is warmly lit, providing a comforting respite from the chill Venetian air. The building in which Algiubagio is located used to be a boat-​house, or barchessa, which you can see from its structure, but has been sensitively refurbished to provide a traditional feel with modern accents. The kitchen is open to the dining room, which I always appreciate because it shows that the chefs have nothing to hide. It’s also added entertainment for the patrons, if they enjoy watching pans flick and flames flash in the preparation of their food.
Algiubagio passed our 3x test; we visited the restaurant three times during our last stay. It has also passed the recommended-​to-​a-​friend test; when a colleague visited Venice I insisted she try Algiubagio and she was so thrilled by her experience that she brought me back a gift.
Algiubagio is a must-​try restaurant; it’s almost worth booking a weekend in Venice to eat here.
