Anmeldelser
My friend and I were in Venice for two days and the place we stayed happened to be right beside Osteria Trefanti. Hands down the best place we ate in Venice. The Chef's mom even makes one of the desserts herself!! The food, the wine, the customer service and hospitality were all amazing! If you go to Venice you HAVE to make time to eat at Osteria Trefanti!
What a lovely experience! Small and quiet and delicious. The chef bases the menu on what is fresh from the market and adds an inventive twist. Juicy and plump scallops with pineapple in a fennel sauce, seafood pasta without compare. How I wish I could have eaten more! The service is excellent and the vibe was intimate, warm and friendly. Best meal i had in Venice!!
My wife and I chose Osteria Trefanti following a very strong personal recommendation, and after we both had read numerous excellent reviews about the restaurant. I had made an online reservation with Osteria Trefanti about three weeks in advance of my wife's and my visit, and ended up being glad I had done so. With only ten tables, it’s an intimate room, and we were very lucky to be seated by the window. Diego warmly welcomed us to Osteria Trefanti, and within a couple minutes was pouring glasses of Prosecco for us. Diego managed a full dining room with impressive calm and attentiveness. Every dish my wife and I ordered was truly exceptional - wonderfully fresh (sourced daily from the Rialto Market), and expertly prepared. Chef/Owner Umberto’s passion shows in every plate. This was one of the "standout" dining experiences during our seven trips to Venice since 2007. We enjoyed our dinner at Osteria Trefanti so much that we plan to return before leaving Venice. Highly recommended.
Why This Restaurant Surprised Me More Than Any Other Gnocchetti with anchovy and cinnamon! A truly outlandish yet brilliant creation, something to try if you’re on the adventurous side. Having said that, everything we ordered was wonderful, along with friendly attentive service. We even got to meet the chef at the end of our delicious meal. This is a small restaurant of exceptional quality. I suggest booking ahead to make sure you get to experience it. We opted for a primi, secondi each and shared dessert. The Panna Cotta was heavenly and we could/should have had one each! We will be returning here on our next trip to Venice.
Absolutely delicious meal and really lovely service!! Such a cosy vibe inside with old jazz music playing. I got the classic Venetian ‘Baccalà’ to start (super tasty and very authentic) and then the ‘Tornarello di pesce’ (seafood pasta) which was delicious!! Perfect portion size, didn’t feel stuffed/sick after finishing. Definitely quite pricey but would absolutely recommend for a nice dinner out.
