La Bitta Venezia
Venice
Reviews
La Bitta was one of the highlights of our time in Venice. Tucked away from the crowds, it has a cozy, intimate atmosphere that makes you feel like you’ve discovered a hidden gem. The gnocchi was absolutely incredible and one of the best dishes we had during our trip. Every bite was rich, comforting, and perfectly prepared. And whatever you do, save room for dessert. The panna cotta was to die for and the perfect ending to an unforgettable meal. The warm ambiance, outstanding food, and genuine hospitality made this a place we’ll be talking about long after our trip.
We have been in Italy for a week already and have tried multiple restaurants recommended by either Gambero Rosso, Slow Food, and Michelin, and we have to say the experience we’ve had here is the best so far. All the dishes were excellent, but the gnocchi with fresh goat cheese and honey was out of this world. It was a taste that was so unique and something I will not forget. The wife of the chef and all the other staff were very nice and gracious as well! Please don’t hesitate to go when in Venice.
This place is fantastic! We spent several days in Venice and planned a meal here just because they offer a menu with no seafood. It's not a large place so I'd recommend reservations. We started with the carpaccio which was delicious! I had the lamb chops which were superb. Others in my party got the veal and pasta. They reluctantly shared with me so I can attest that everything was delicious. Honestly, they got started on theirs so fast I never got a chance to photograph their plates. Their panna cotta was supposed to be a pretty big deal (not a panna cotta person myself) so a member of my party tried it. The waittress said it was the best thing in her life as she grabbed her hips and gave us a shake. My friend was not disappointed. I had the tiramisu and it was amazing. This place is a must if you travel to Venice. Super high-quality ingredients, a disciplined kitchen, and friendly, invested staff. Actually, great restaurants like this one are few and far between in Venice.
So first thing you see her is a handwritten note on the restaurant signage which says „no fish“ which is funny because the name of this place means bollard or bitt which is a pretty maritime term so… but in fact here they serve meat in many variations and pasta. It’s a tiny space hole in the wall easy to miss despite google maps but the location is correct so don’t worry if you don’t spot it immediately. The service was very friendly with the exception of one female staff memberwho basically slammed the menues on the table and left, returning only about 10‘ later to ask for our orders. Not very kids friendly meaning you have to order pasta without sauce iif your kids don’t eat plain meat, we spent about 60 EUR for pasta for 3 kids! The food was excellent including the pasta which our kids loved. We had the artichokes bottoms with cheese sauce for starters which were delicious. Then we chose the sliced beef sirloin with rosemary and baked vegetables which were also great. Classic desserts included tiramisu and panna cotta which were also flawless. Small but well selected choice of wines, spirits and digestives (try the locally made Amaro Laguna Nord which is made with algae and it’s actually really good).
