Bar Trattoria A Le Colonete

Fantastic quiet upscale restaurant away from all the tourists! If you have been overwhelmed with crowded streets and touristy restaurants this is the place to go if you want to relax and enjoy an amazing meal. The entire menu has something for everyone from fabulous pastas to meat and fish dishes and delicious appetizers or first courses to share. Will definitely come back when I visit Venice again.

What a fantastic restaurant! It’s just a few minutes walk from the Basilica and so worth it.
The best spaghetti alle vongole I’ve ever had in my life. Clams were so fresh, the pasta was cooked perfectly al dente, and the sauce was so buttery. If I could, I really would lick the plate clean.

Great service and food. Took up a spot outside to enjoy the cool breeze and do some people watching. It’s a little too quiet for the latter, due to the fact this place isn’t attached to a huge piazza, but the stillness of the alley this restaurant is on is a welcomed relief after a long day in the hustle and bustle of Venice.
I wanted to try some authentic Venetian food, so I ordered the cuttlefish y polenta. Cuttlefish is a small squid found in the waters in and around Venice that is cooked in a sauce made of it’s own ink. It’s was really earthy and rich.
I certainly would recommend the cuttlefish and this restaurant, but the only problem is that it would be really tough the find again in the watery labyrinth of this city.

Good quality food. Great price on the house wine.
Ordered a salad, scallops, prosciutto and melon, and clams and scallops. All tasted great!
Service was good and speedy. Would definitely go back!
