We stopped here for lunch today based on the reviews and the fact that the restaurant we wanted to go to was closed on Mondays. The atmosphere was quaint indoors where we sat. Outdoors was full u less you had a reservation but that was fine. The service was very good, which makes this review a 3 star instead of a 2. The spaghetti with clams was so salty we couldn’t really eat it and we like flavor but it was overwhelmingly salty. The chef needs to taste his food. No one asked us how our food was? Hmmmm, don’t want to know? The bream fish was very small, over cooked, served whole with lots of bones. It was also 3 euro more than the price on the printed menu. The wine was nice and the service good, but ultimately you come for the food and it was way below average.

Went there today, has a great location and superior waiters. They are very professional and accommodating. The only reason why I gave them 3 stars otherwise it would have just two. The food is why you go to any restaurant and the food here is way over cooked and extremely salty. Their chef needs to taste his food first and foremost and if he does the prices they charge for his work are extremely out of scale. I hate leaving bad reviews but this place did not sit well with me.

Ok this is is Italy. True True they don’t speak very good English but your in Italy get over it. The menu is in English and that all that matters. Sea food is so fresh the pasta is made right on site. Truly a great place to go. BTW the portions are big enough for 2 so be hungry or you will be taking a lot home.

Needing a bite to eat after wandering around the quaint island of Burano, we came across this wonderful restaurant. Delicious, mouthwatering gnocchi, with just enough crab meat to give it that WOW factor. Great service, friendly staff and reasonably priced taking into account the quality of the food.

Great place for lunch if you enjoy outdoor breeze with a colorful backdrop. The inside is very quaint and charming and absolutely romantic. We had a refreshing Italian spritz and tried the cuttlefish ink pasta, and clams in tomato broth, both very good… the branzino was great, but to our surprise, a total rip off when the bill came. Lol, other than that, great restaurant!

This restaurant is a must go when visiting Murano. We came here for lunch by a friend’s recommendations and had spaghetti(seppie) and risotto and they were delicious. The place does offer any house wine though if you are looking for one of these.

Charming restaurant with a view of a canal and those adorably painted houses that Burano is known for. Good food(the fritti de calamari was excellent), wine, service. A delightful spot to stop and have lunch.

One of the managers at one glass factory in Murano suggested we take the trip to Burano for lunch. Glad we followed his advice and went to Riva Rosa. Great food and service from start to finish…

Great restaurant. It’s located right at the entrance to «downtown» Burano, so at first I was skeptical that it was a tourist trap. After eating there, I can say quite the contrary. The quality of the food matches the price. Wait staff is friendly, and speak English well.

Wow, our meal here was outstanding and definitely our best in «Venice». On a very foggy day, we made it to Burano by lunch time after visiting Murano, and we were starving. As we were entering the town we found this little gem of a restaurant right by the canal with a great view of all the colorful boats and buildings. When you enter the restaurant it looks fancy and expensive… and it is. Our server spoke english and they had english menus as well. We had two glasses of the house white wine each and decided to order the seafood risotto which they prepare for a minimum of two people. It was fantastic! Not too soupy and not too undercooked, which are my two main peeves with risotto. The seafood flavor was definitely there and there was a fair amount of fish and seafood. We also ordered some type of apple crisp dessert on top of a chocolate graham cookie and that was soooo good that we ordered a second one. Loved, loved, loved this restaurant!
