Frito Inn — Restaurant in Venice

I saw this place in a YouTube video, and I resolved to visit during my short stay in Venice. I liked this place so much that I ate there three times in a day. There is no seating, as everything would be made to go, but we found a small table beside the joint that we could take refuge and eat in peace.

First I tried the mixed bag containing sardines, small fish, shrimps and calamari, so that I could have a little bit of everything.

Long story short, try the potatoes and the calamari if you’re famished but otherwise look for...

I went early, about 15 minutes after they opened so there was no line. I ordered the fritto misto di pesce, which is the mixed fried fish with calamari, shrimp, and small fish. Everything is cooked fresh to order but fairly quickly. It all was hot and crispy, seasoned perfectly and not at all greasy. I paired it with some hot sauce and mayo.

The portions were a good size and the prices were fair. I would recommend Frito-Inn to anyone visiting Venice for...
