We were here thanks to a suggestion from a person who lives in Venezia. And she was right. The food was simply delicious, fresh, with local ingredients and typical from the region. The wine was excellent. The restaurant was beautiful and in a lively area. The staff was friendly and the service was good.

Out of the 4 restaurants I tried during my weekend trip to Venice this was by far the best on. Traditional Venetian cuisine served in a classical Italian ambiance by a very friends and attentive FOH team. I felt super welcomed and taken care of and I had a lovely chat with the owners som who explained the long heritage of this family run restaurant. Thanks and I will definitely come back.

Vini da Gigio is a cozy, family-run spot in Venice that brings you a mix of classic and seafood dishes. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the food makes you feel like you’re getting a taste of Venice.

We started with the Mixed “Venetian Specialities” starter, which was a fun sampler of local bites. Each item had its own unique flavor, showcasing Venice’s love for seafood and fresh ingredients. It’s a great way to start the meal and get a sense of what Venetian food is all about.

The Tagliolini with Spider Crab was a big hit. The pasta was just right—perfectly cooked and well-coated in a buttery sauce that let the sweet crab shine through. If you love seafood, this dish is a must.

Then came the Rigatoni with Red Tuna Ragout, which was hearty and satisfying. The sauce was rich with chunks of red tuna, and the rigatoni had the perfect texture to soak up all that flavor. It’s a filling and delicious option if you’re in the mood for pasta with a twist.

For a real taste of tradition, the Liver “Venetian Style” with Polenta was excellent. The liver was tender, cooked in a sauce that was slightly sweet, and the creamy polenta on the side made it feel like real Venetian comfort food.

To wrap it all up, we had the Almond Cake with Zabaglione. The cake was moist and nutty, and the zabaglione—a creamy, custard-like sauce—was the perfect sweet topping. It’s a dessert that feels indulgent without being too heavy.

Overall, Vini da Gigio is a fantastic pick if you’re looking to enjoy authentic Venetian flavors in a laid-back setting. The dishes are simple but super tasty, and each one gives you a taste of what makes Venetian cooking so special. Highly recommend!

A delightful place with an excellent view.

A huge selection of wines and a small food menu. My favorite is the crab pasta! 🍝💔 It's just perfect.

Also, the pasta with broccoli and anchovies was delicious, but the risotto was a bit too firm.
The risotto is served for two, but the portions are quite small.

Pleasant atmosphere and a very beautiful view of the canal from the restaurant.

Service is quite slow.

It's better to book a table in advance; we were lucky to get the last table available, as the place was full.

I wish we could have eaten here again. We found this restaurant through the Michelin Guide and they didn’t get it wrong. A small, family owned and operated business with an extremely welcoming and friendly staff. The food was incredible, fresh, and authentic. Our waiter was telling us he was a fourth generation Venetian and then proceeded to tell us the gentleman working the other tables was his father. His aunt was working the kitchen. If you have the opportunity I suggest trying this place. Oh and the vino, the VINO!!! Incredible! Delicious! Amazing!
