First of all I have to say the vibe of this place is definitely 10/10 the host did a fantastic job welcoming us and being very attentive to service - then the food itself was amazing!! Even though we got there quite close to the closing time they still had an amazing selection to choose from which really hit the spot while being great value for money. At the end of dinner the host even gave us complimentary shots to top of an already amazing dinner! Would highly recommend everyone considering somewhere for food and drinks to go here and enjoy as much as we did!
Cantina Arnaldi’s vibes drew us in. Despite being busy, it felt relaxed, local, and offered a welcome respite from the crowds. We shared six pieces of fish and cured meat cicchetti between the two of us, and every bite was delicious. Paired with a lovely glass of Gewürztraminer, it made for the perfect Venetian aperitivo. Special mention to Malbi and Ero for their fantastic recommendations, warm hospitality, and for letting me sample a dash of the zabaione cream. A wonderful little find that we’d happily return to!
This place is a GEM! My husband and I randomly stopped in while walking by and were SO happy we did. The wine was perfect, and the meat and cheese board was absolutely delicious. It seems they cut the meats in-house to serve fresh, and honestly, it was some of the best meat and cheese plates we had in Italy. It’s a must! Also, special shoutout to Ero, who was incredibly welcoming. We loved tasting the amaretto you offered us! The atmosphere was warm and friendly, and chatting with the locals made the whole experience feel even more special and authentic. This will be the first place I go back to next time I’m in Venice. I cannot wait to return for more wine, good food, and great company!
Amazing food, amazing owners, the best place in Venice no doubt! Thank you guys for welcoming us, we will be your guests again! ♥️
