Osteria da Alberto

We finally found where the locals go. Reservations were easy as we called the day before and they got us in early. Once we arrived they greeted us warmly and took us to our quaint table. Our server was a breath of fresh air, as he was informative and genuine. This food was what we had been looking for the whole time in Italy. Yes we had pasta, but it wasn’t the star of the meal. Before we get there though the wine selection was good. What you would expect for a locals type place. We had the Chardonnay and it didn’t disappoint. From there we enjoyed the cheese plate which we asked about the dipping sauce as it went perfect with all the cheeses. Next came the pasta. Simple pasta and pesto, but it hit the marks. Pasta was cooked right and the pesto was flavorful and light. Last came our meals. My wife has the special steak with potatoes. It was cooked right and potatoes were crisp. As for me, I enjoyed the special bass; oven cooked. It was out of this world. Everything was fresh and the tastes were on point.

We did not partake in the dessert, but from what we could see they all looked amazing.

Something that both my wife and I noticed was that the servers took care of everyone promptly and with care, but also everything that came out of the kitchen looked immaculate and delicious. And no we weren’t starving, everything looked genuinely amazing.

If we ever return to Venice, this will be at the top of our list for making reservations.
