Ristorante San Silvestro

We had a very nice meal at Ristorante San Silvestro. My spaghetti alle vongole veraci was lovely, lots of clams, a subtle garlic flavour and perfectly cooked spaghetti. My husband also enjoyed his tagliatelle with duck ragu. We both had tiramisu for dessert and while not the best we had in Venice it was still very pleasant, light and creamy. We booked a table online for 19:00 but the restaurant wasn't super busy so it wasn't really necessary.
Superb restaurant specialising in seafood. We had the fish and seafood platter for 2, which was huge and really tasty (and didn’t need any sides unless very hungry!). 3 x whole fish filleted at the table, monkfish, bream, sole, plus prawns and langoustines. Great value and excellent quality. Service excellent, very organised and friendly, with recommendations when requested.
We managed to get a reservation only about an hour before dinner, which was quite impressive considering the restaurant was completely packed when we arrived. The steak was excellent—very tender and cooked perfectly. The risotto was also very good, although I wouldn’t say it was the best I’ve ever had. Service was efficient despite how busy the restaurant was. My only criticism is that both the atmosphere and the menu felt a bit tourist-oriented. While the food was enjoyable and the experience was positive overall, it didn’t feel like the most authentic dining experience in Venice. That said, if you’re looking for a reliable restaurant in a central location and can secure a last-minute table, Ristorante San Silvestro is a solid choice.
I’m really happy that I found this place, we loved it so much that we came here twice!! On a 3-days trip!!! Everything was on point! The staff, atmosphere, the food! Fresh Tiramisu, Fiorentina steak, black squid spaghetti 🤌🏻🥳💕 I feel like Venice doesn’t have enough good food but this place saved us huge part of the trip.
I would highly recommend this restaurant. Especially if you're vegetarian. It's so difficult to find places which offer veggie dishes and they have a few to choose from but my favourite was the baked aubergine. I actually came back to eat it again. They also offer a range of delicious desserts and beautiful wines. The service is really welcoming and lovely. I would highly recommend it.
