Osteria Ae Cravate - VENEZIA

Our favorite restaurant in Venice. The staff was so welcoming and fun. The food was amazing. Get the calamari and bruschetta!!! We came here on our first night in Venice based on a recommendation from our host. After traveling a few days in Venice and going to other places to eat, we found ourselves coming back a second time to this little slice of heaven to end our trip. If you want great food and great service look no further.

Whilst the food was good (although the specials were expensive for what they were make sure you ask the price! the experience was marred slightly by the fact despite being sent an email to reconfirm the booking an hour before the reservation time, to which I responded with the confirmation, and the fact I made them aware of the reservation on arrival, when it came to getting the bill there was an attempt to say that they weren't taking The Fork bookings that night. That said, Raj the waiter did verify that my booking existed and did then honour the discount quoted on The Fork, but it did taint our experience. So just double check on arrival all is as you are expecting it to be to avoid something similar.

The staff is really friendly and helpful ! a good experience

Buon ristorante, cucina tradizionale, servizio cordiale e amichevole. Consigliato.

The food was very good. My only thought is that the wine was quite expensive. 7 euros for a glass house wine is quite high. The food was delicious.
