We had a fantastic experience in Burano and at Trattoria Cafe' Vecio in Burano, which stood out as the best-rated option during our search. The food was excellent, and the portions are generous, making it perfect for sharing. We ordered plenty to sample, starting with a glass of crisp white wine and the fried sardines—they were perfectly seasoned and incredibly crispy. The Greek salad was a highlight, packed with fresh vegetables and tuna. For our main, we enjoyed a delicious gnocchi dish with crab and cherry tomatoes. It was the perfect meal, even on a very hot day. It was my last day in Italy so I went all out for the homemade Tiramisu. Sooo good. One helpful tip: if it's busy, they prioritize the indoor area for full dining rather than just drinks. Highly recommended!
Do not eat here. I ordered mix fried fish and out of the 5 different types I could only taste the lemon I put on top. The spaghetti isn't anything special either, it's also the only restaurant in Venice with a "service charge" on top of a cover charge. I wouldn't mind it, if there was any service at all, after asking for the check we must've waited like 7 minutes for anyone to actually come over. The best part was the power going out in the restaurant, twice. If you're going to eat here be prepared to spend
