Ostemar - Trattoria di Mare — Restaurant in Jesolo

As a chef myself, I always appreciate the finesse required to execute a simple dish like spaghetti alle vongole. Unfortunately, the version we were served here was excessively salty — to the point of being nearly inedible.

We kindly asked for another portion, and waited quite a long time, only to be told that they couldn’t remake the dish because “the clams are salty by nature.” Meanwhile, we watched the same dish being served to a neighboring table — and they seemed to enjoy it without any issues. This clearly suggests that a better-balanced version was indeed possible.

We specifically came to this restaurant from the other side of the city, excited to try the food based on its reputation — but our expectations were completely let down. Such a fundamental mistake was truly surprising, especially coming from an Italian kitchen.

What should have been a lovely evening turned into a disappointment. Thankfully, it was somewhat saved by the amazing gelato we had across the street — which brought us at least a little joy to...

It was definitely one of the best experiences in Italy as a whole! Great variety of food, especially seafood, and great taste combos.

We ordered a wine based on the waiter’s advice, and it was amazing. The staff is overall very friendly, had a small talk with the Director, Nikolai, and it was very pleasant! The service was quick, yet the food - very fresh.

We for a seafood plate (grilled mix), cuttlefish was soft, shrimps well cooked, a bit crispy. It came w some vegetables as well.

Another dish was tagliatelle with shrimps and sea urchins. Particularly the sauce was scrumptious!! Usually such dishes have little to no sauce and taste dry, but this was an exception. Once again, all flavours were great together.

A dessert we got was tiramisu, the cream was great, cookies had just the right amount of coffee, so it did not taste dry, but super creamy.

We will definitely come...

A wonderful culinary experience in Italy! jesolo We had an amazing time at this restaurant. Mr. Nicolae was a fantastic host – kind, attentive, and always welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious: I had the gnocchi, which were perfectly cooked and full of flavor. As antipasti, I highly recommend the baccalà – simply delicious! And for dessert, the panna cotta was the perfect sweet finish. The wine was excellent, the atmosphere warm and authentic, and the service fast and friendly. We’ll definitely come back and we highly recommend this...
