Ristorante Osteria Da Fiore
Venice
Reviews
What an enjoyable last dinner in Florence before we head back home. From start to finish the service was attentive, exceptional, and they put you at ease. We enjoyed the amuse bouche and our ravioli and filet of sole mains and had to leave room for dessert. The food was beautifully presented and as appealing to the eye as it was to the taste buds. Thank you Osteria da Fiore for making our last meal in Venice so memorable!
The food was great — even the bread! However, the service could be improved, as only one staff member (the one wearing a sky-blue blazer) was taking care of us. The manager seemed to focus mostly on his wine, and no one was attending to our wine or dishes. There was quite a long wait to pay and collect our jackets. Excellent food, disappointing service.
Absolutely delicious food and fantastic atmosphere. But! Its service is not as good as it should be, specially its general manager’s attitude. My family didn’t feel him and his team’s passion and professional. It was a shame. He should not just pay attention to the local clients and ignore the international friends. We like their food but disappointed at its service. It didn’t match its level.
This is one of the quintessential restaurants in Venice! The food is traditionally venetian but subtle in preparation & presentation; the service is impeccable and yet personal and the atmosphere is intriguing, the dining room gives the cosy warmth of a private club. The menu shows much, much more I want to order than I could possibly eat in one (even two or three) evening(s). My wife and I had "Scampi rosolati al lardo" & "Baccalà mantecato", the we shared "Tagliolini scampi e radicchio rosso" and the "Tagliata di tonno" & "Coda di rospo su crema di broccoli" and "Zabaione" and every single dish was beyond compare. We are looking forward to our next visit to Venice and the food & hospitality of the "Osteria Da Fiore".
