Absolutely incredible experience at La Piazza! The food was amazing — every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. The host and waiter were super friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. It’s rare to find a place that nails both the food and the atmosphere, but La Piazza really does. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great meal and warm hospitality!

We didn’t make reservations but the wait was only a few minutes. They served us prosecco (on the house) while we lined up! Atmosphere is very warm and elegant, from couples, to families, and even single diners. All are welcome! We asked our server, Jamal his recommendation for a fish main course and he recommended the grilled Sea Bass. We also ordered the grilled squid and grilled mixed veggies. It was probably too much for 2 people, but everything was so delicious! To finish off, we were sadly notified that they sold out of their tiramisu, so we got their creme brûlée instead. It was to die for! Service was great, would definitely come back!

My favorite place in Italy so far. We’ve been victims of tourist traps before, but this is by far the most delicious restaurant so far with an amazing wait staff. Food came out within in minutes, staff was very attentive and patient. This is, in my opinion, the most authentic Italian seafood restaurant I’ve tasted. The seafood was all very fresh and beautifully prepared. Beautiful ambience as well. Highly recommend the royal seafood platter. I enjoyed the Spaghettoni alle Vongole, with the Octopus salad as my appetizer, while my friends ordered the Shrimp Risotto with Burrata, Spaghettoni di Mare, and the Squid Ink Spaghettoni.

This is our second time here. When we decided to come back to Venice this was an absolute must for us. This lasagna is the best I’ve ever had. After our first visit to the restaurant I went back home and tried to recreate it. Umm not even close so I had to come back so I can try again. Service is great, the atmosphere is quaint but the food is the real star. The simple spaghetti and marinara was to die for. Oh we also had the burrata salad also very good but the pasta was the real star of this show.

We came across La Piazza completely by chance. We had been exploring Venice for several days, and each time we passed by this restaurant, we noticed long lines — practically at any time of day. We checked the Google reviews, which turned out to be very high, so we decided to give it a try. We made an online reservation (unfortunately, the phone number listed on the website seemed to be either outdated or disconnected). Despite having a reservation, we still had to wait about 10–15 minutes in line. While waiting, we were offered a complimentary glass of Prosecco, which was a lovely touch and made the wait much more pleasant. The manager or possibly the owner was extremely friendly — greeting guests at the entrance and coordinating everything inside with great energy. Inside, the restaurant felt very typically Italian: lively, bustling, and a bit crowded. Unfortunately, our table was right by the main passage, so people were constantly walking past us during the meal. Before our dishes arrived, we were served a small amuse-bouche of bread rolls, grissini, and butter. As expected, the food was delicious, and you could really taste the freshness and quality of the ingredients. As for the prices — well, Venice isn’t exactly cheap, so that’s to be expected, though I noticed they also serve pizza at quite reasonable prices. We’re glad we decided to come here, and we can definitely recommend this restaurant. On the downside, they do add a rather high coperto — around 12 or 12.5%.
