About the restaurant

The Bistrot de Venise was first opened in 1993. It is a place where people can meet up and savour the Cuisine & Wine as they enjoy figurative arts, poetry, cultural gatherings and a host of other activities dedicated to Venice. …in 1999, the Bistrot de Venise took its concept of blending culture, food and wine from the Veneto region a step further when it began to carry out research into Rare Wines and Historical Venetian Cuisine. …We are still steadfastly continuing along this path today…

Once in a lifetime experience for us and everything we tried was impeccable. The service was top notch as well. Don't hesitate to book. All of the dishes are so innovative. This was our first truly upscale Michelin experience and we ordered too much food with the expectation that the dishes would be small. The portions are generous and flavorful. Absolutely wonderful and a meal we'll always remember.

Given the rave reviews, I probably expected too much. The food was fine. Not amazing. The polenta was runny. Prosciutto and burrata were good. Truffle pasta was good but expensive. The bill was high relative to enjoyment. Service was great. It’s a fine option but you have so many equally good options that are a tad less.

Hostaria Osottoosopra

Venice

About the restaurant

Hostaria OsottoOsopra was born from a fortuitous meeting, between the streets of Venice.
With a coffee and a chat, the dream of opening a restaurant with friends seemed to really take shape for the first time.
In August 2017, those that were initially only ideas are transformed into reality, within the walls of a former pub in Calle San Pantalon, a stone's throw from Campo Santa Margherita.It would not make sense to open yet another tourist place in Venice, only to then get confused among the many restaurants around the city.
No, Hostaria OsottoOsopra was supposed to be something different.
It had to be a place to feel at home, where eating well in Venice became possible at a reasonable price and where the service, always in the hand but always elegant, made me want to come back.
At the opening, Hosteria OsottoOsopra looked like this: with the atmosphere of a typical Venetian hostaria, but from the almost gourmet kitchen.

We had a wonderful Christmas Day lunch at Gio’s. With stunning views in the sunshine across the Grand Canal to Saluté and San Georgio we had the most excellent service in these glorious surroundings. The food was first class. Delicate and full of flavour, beautifully presented. We could fault nothing.

Went for an all American Christmas dinner here while in Venice. From the appetizers of wings, spicy shrimp, and nachos then to our entrees of ribs, salmon noodle bowl, and classic burgers, we were stuffed. The portions were big that we couldn't finish our entrée. There was never ending refills coming our way as well. Our server Fabio and the rest of the staff were courteous throughout our dining experience.
