Why Travelers Love La Piazza
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Wow — what an amazing place! After passing by La Piazza many times (it was right next to our hotel), we chose it for our last dinner in Venice — and it was perfect. From the warm welcome to the stunning administrator and incredibly polite staff — everyone made us feel so special. The food was just wow: lasagna from another world, delicious aperols, appetizers, limoncello, and the best tiramisu ever. A truly must-visit spot in Venice. We left with full hearts, happy smiles, and unforgettable memories. Grazie mille, La Piazza! 💛🇮🇹 My family and I had lunch here and the food was just amazing, even in Italian standards. The meat, pasta, and lasagne were cooked just right and the taste was out of this world. We may not be wine connoisseurs but even their table wine tasted amazing!! The waiting staff were so friendly and accommodating that we had to let the restaurant manager know. Funny thing is, the manager already knew his staff are great! He even gave us some small desserts as complimentary. We loved this restaurant so much that we returned the following evening. The staff were friendly and attentive. The tiramisu was the best we have had in Venice. The pasta is homemade and tastes delicious, as well as the pizza, lasagne, chips, meat plater, everything was spot on. If you are in Venice I highly recommend eating here.

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.
