PASTA AL MARE Second time in Venice and we are happy to come back to Trattoria Alla Fontana with its amazing pasta al mare, we're obsessed really. There were some constructions mearby this time so the setting was not the best, but its worth it for the food. We also had a nice tiramisu. Things were not super expensive, give it a shot. Great little restaurant on the canal. Area was under construction but didn't take away from the ambiance. Service was prompt and helpful and the daily special (pasta with fish and pistachio) was the highlight of the meal. Reasonably priced for being in the canal. Go for the house wine! We wanted to find a local non-touristy restaurant. The staff was so nice and the food was great! I never had the dish before and went with what the server recommended… I wasn’t able to speak Italian but she was so nice and even suggested an amazing desert

We had dinner here on our first night in Venice, it was across from our hotel qnd seemed like a nice place. The side is blocked by the water bus stop so the sight is not as nice as could be, although still generally romantic. The service was attentive and quick, they unfortunately do not serve tap water and we were made to order bottled water instead, but it wasn’t too much of a hassle. The meal itself was good enough, the seafood pasta is particularly good. The cuttlefish polenta was different, it was still good but not too engaging. The least satisfactory dish however, was the pasta of the day dish, which this time was sea bass with a pistachio based sauce. It fell quite a bit short and was bland to the taste. The pasta dishes range from 20-25 euros, while the larger main courses are 25-35. Entrees will be around 15-20 mostly. Overall a satisfactory meal, although I wouldn’t rank it too spectacular.

This spot is so amazing and so local. The food is fabulous, and the view right on the canal is so aesthetic. It’s also really near a water taxi pick up spot for when you roll in or out of town tired lol. The owner is so nice, we loved it.
