Trattoria Cafe' Vecio — Restaurant in Venice

Let me start with the warmth and happiness we received as soon as we approached the restaurant, Fabio (the owner), his family and employees super respectful and 100% attention to details. Their food is extremely fresh, from their cocktails, to their fish tapas all the way to they heart melting FIG CAKE (i wanted to steal the recipe!!!) no joke the BEST experience by far.

They let us sit were we wanted, we love a specific cocktail and they made it for us, introduced us to an unfiltered local beer, brought us some tapas for my mom and myself to share & finally a fig cake (you’ll want to take home)

Please have in mind these islands depend 100% on tourism and the pandemic hit them hard so please go support and tip these lovely people.

Thank you Fabio, Emely...

Visited Burano for the afternoon and wanted to have a quick drink. Everywhere was very busy so we chose here. Unfortunately, after we had sat down and the server asked our order, we were told we weren’t allowed to just have a drink, so we had to order food. We weren’t really hungry and didn’t want to spend too much so we ordered some calamari to share, although the server didn’t seem too happy with that either.

The Calamari itself was actually very tasty and fresh, although seemed slightly expensive. Hugo Spritz were good and reasonably priced!

They add a coperto and a service charge so it was a very expensive stop for a drink.

Overall, food good but service not that great. Felt a bit like a tourist trap but the food was...

Nice looking place at the square, so we decided to celebrate our engagement there. At first, we read through the menu and decided to get drinks only, maybe dessert. Although there was nobody inside, and at the time maybe 5 tables occupied, nobody noticed. So we picked our seats and sat down. In about a minute or so waiter came and asked if we’d like to eat. As soon as we told him we are there probably for drinks only, he immediately asked us to move to a different area of the restaurant, as “our” seats were for lunch customers only. (No sign or obvious hint to assume such thing). As politely as he asked us to move, we stood up and left and took our business to much nicer establishment. Not surprised the place was...
