Trattoria ai Cugnai dal 1911
Venice
Avis
Hands down the best food we've had in our whole trip. The price is very reasonable with the quality, even cheap compared to other places in Venice. We had the mix seafood spaghetti and the tagliatelle, and we shared a beef lasagna. The lasagna was very creamy and tasty, we loved it. But the seafood spaghetti was something else. It had the perfect spice hint and the seafood was full of taste. I would have ordered a full plate of those muscles with that sauce. I also had a Spritz for 4€, very good as well. As for the service, they were all kind and very attentive. If I ever come back to Venice I would come back to this place first thing. If I hear of any friends coming to Venice I will be recommending the place to them too. An 11/10!
Great authentic Venetian experience. The onions with sardines is a classic Venetian dish, and if you're up for it, it's worth a try just to see what Venetians regularly have. The black ink fish dish is surprisingly really good. I got the lasagne here as a partial break after having a lot of seafood in Venice. I have to say this lasagne was phenomenal and is a must order - my thought was that 'if this is lasagne, then what I have in North America cannot qualify as lasagne'. The service was great and atmosphere was great (tbh, I think it's really hard to screw up atmosphere in Venice).
This is the place where the most delicious food in Venice is. Locals dine here. There were four of us, we ordered different dishes, and that's it. We tried each other's dishes. So, on my plate, we made a mix with friends. Everything was delicious: dessert, coffee, and alcoholic cocktails. I recommend it to everyone.
Magnificent from start to finish!!! We ate the calamari and marinated mussles so fast that I didnt get a photo but the mussles are definitely a must-order. We also all loved our pastas and my dad was obsessed with his peppercorn steak. They do pasta very well. The outdoor courtyard is also adorable, if you are smart book reservations in advance. We came right when they opened at 6 and were lucky to get a table inside.
What can I say, this place is fabulous. We first went here on our last visit to Venice 10 years ago and I remembered the clam spaghetti so was excited to go back and taste it again. I wasn’t disappointed, we were in Venice for 3 nights and of all the meals we had this was the best. All of our dishes were fresh, delicious and perfectly cooked. We had the frittura misto to start and it was great. For mains we had various pasta dishes and all were excellent. The menu is varied and authentic and price is reasonable. The service is good and the waiters are friendly and courteous. This is definitely my favourite restaurant in Venice and I will definitely return if we visit again.
