Trattoria Alla Maddalena

Bellissimo locale a Venezia consigliatissimo un grazie a Simone

Servire impecabilă,ospătari super amabili si profesionisti

We didn't eat at many places in Venice, but this was easily our favorite (and almost our favorite of the dozens of restaurants we visited in Italy). The service made us feel welcomed and not rushed. They provided local specialties like sarde in saor (marinated sardines), insalata caprese, pasta al nero di seppia (not only with squid ink but pieces of squid). My husband really liked his scallops which were nicely marinaded and baked. We ordered a nice local white wine (soave) that was reasonably priced (around 30-40 euro), and enjoyed the nice ambiance on the Rio Tera de la Maddalena road which leads to the train station. We were even given a complimentary grappa after dessert.

Stopped by this restaurant while walking the streets of Venice. They had free WiFi and a bar which attracted one of our party members. We sat down and decided to also order food. I had the sausage pizza which was great and fresh. My two friends ordered Lamb chops and a fried calimari starter which were tasty as well. The waiter, Edmond, was very accommodating and helpful. I'd come back here next time I visit Venice.

This was the first restaurant my friends and I stopped at for our first Italian meal! I had the seafood risotto, and we ordered a bottle of white wine for the table. Everything was delicious and tasted fresh, and we got to sit outdoors to people watch. Part of the entertainment was watching one of the staff members play and chase a dog in the local area, how charming is that? The service was super friendly, and we received a warm welcome from our waiter who was thrilled to have American patrons lol! Seriously, if you're from America (especially LA) they treat you like royalty. It's too bad we only spent one night in Venice but look forward to coming back here if I do visit Venice again.
