Aciugheta

We started with the small anchovy pizza — which is a pizza the size of a small plate with a single anchovy. Tasted fine. We were there for a plate of cicchetti, which you could not choose yourself. We were served a couple of meatballs, pickled salmon wrapped around a slice of eggplant, cured boquerones, some excellent baccala purée (Baccalà mantecato), poached tuna on barley (slightly vinegary), and some pan-​fried fresh cod (or similar flaky white fish). We enjoyed all of it with a couple glasses of white wine.

Had the beef fillet in peppercorn sauce with a creamy potato square dish a bit like polenta. Seriously delicious. The beef quality was excellent and cooked a perfect medium as I asked. The sauce was fantastic with a hint of mustard and a solid peppery kick.
My girl had the vegetarian pizza. It was good, but could have been more flavorful. She had a pinot grigio which she liked enough to have a second glass.
Dinner came with bread which was very good. Flavorful and fresh. We finished by sharing a tiramisu which was superb. It hit all the right flavor notes and was not too sweet.
My beef fillet was 24 €. I’m a bit surprised that the restaurant is listed as €€€. It seems less expensive, like €€. But I’m not sure how the price rating is calculated so my perception may be inaccurate.

In a sea of tourist joints, this place is for locals. My spritz was amazing, and the cicchetti was delicious — especially the cod fish spread. The location is great to sit outside and watch the people in the square. Liked it a lot!

I went on a tour in Venice, and the tour guide recommended we stop here for lunch. The stars were in alignment that day for lunch. We had the best restaurant lasagne ever, plus a good bottle of Proseco. The sun was shining, so we got to sit outside, the service was great. What more could a person ask for while dining in Venice. Definitely the best lunch in Venice.

Stopped by for a drink and some cichetti. Enjoyed both at their outside terrace. Lots of locals drinking a spritz in the late afternoon. Had some great mussels in broth.

Looked amazing. Walked inside and sat there about 20 mins. Finally received menus. Sat for another 15 mins and asked for a server and the only ones were helping the very large party behind us. Then we got up to move to a different section. We went outside and sat where everyone was eating. Server came immediately which gave us hope. She asked if we were having dinner, we smiled and said YES! Yum — finally some food. She turned around said that we had to move somewhere else for dinner and pointed to a vague section and walked away. No direction. No courtesy. Food looked good but we got up and walked out. Unfortunately not the best experience in Venice so far for food :(
