From calamari to octopus salad to a variety of fresh fish, the seafood at Ristoteca Oniga is wonderfully prepared and plated. The pasta is solid. Their standard selection is nothing to get excited about, but the execution will leave you with little to be desired. The wine list is extensive and the friendly wait staff is more than happy to help you choose dishes. Toss that in with the beautiful setting of Campo san Barnaba and this makes for one of the better dinner locations in Venice.

Great option for dinner without reservations. We walked in after 9pm and got to choose a secluded seat by the window. There was a dinner special for 2 people that included a humongous bowl of mixed shellfish. It’s really a generous amount! They throw in a mound of spaghetti halfway through your meal to soak up the sauce, and finish everything off with dessert wine and cookies. It was one of our more affordable meals in Venice, and one of the most filling too! Our waitress was prompt and courteous, and even gave us a free sampling of chamomile grappa, which we inquired about after seeing another large party with it. Overall, a generally pleasant experience that didn’t break the bank!

Recommended by the star staff over a mile away. When I got lost and asked cops for directions their eyes lit up at the name of the place. It’s nested in a very touristy plaza, but it’s amazingly legit. Service, food, wine all amazing.

You may want to go there and meet many english speaking folks. It’s no wonder at this place and location. Food is okay, for italian standards I’d say average as the price ratio. However, stuff and waiters are very friendly and prompt in their service.

Where? Entre le pont de l’Accademia et le pont du Rialto When? Un midi où on veut prendre un peu son temps pour déjeuner tranquillement Why? Parce qu’on est irrémédiablement attiré par ce restaurant, que c’est celui qu’on cherchait depuis 35min Who? Des salariés en pause dej, des touristes entre deux visites, des personnes«qui vont prendre l’avion dans 2h30»… un peu de tout quoi… What? L’assiette de San Daniel /Roquette /Poire(un délice) + les tagliatelles aux coques au gout bien relevé, soit le duo de plats gagnants pour réattaquer une après-midi de marche!

Excellent food. Try the Ricotta dessert, you will want seconds. Be sure to make reservations as this place is always packed. Good wine list.
