Ristorante San Silvestro

We came here for dinner during our first night in Venice and it was so good that we returned the next two nights! Nico and Stefano were excellent hosts and made amazing food recommendations. Get the Lobster Linguine! Seems like everything else on their menu is good too — including the duck and the steak!

We had a lovely meal in Venice: the lobster pasta, squid ink pasta, and fried seafood were all delicious. Nico was very warm and friendly, and he even taught us how to say 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 in Italian, while quickly remembering how to say it in Mandarin too. Nisi's service was attentive and polite. After the meal, we were treated to lemon liqueur, which represents good luck. It's definitely a restaurant worth trying!

We booked a table for 4 here to mark the end of our trip biking thru northern Italy. My seafood pasta was delicious, probably the best of my trip. Everyone else enjoyed their meals as well. The staff was helpful and we enjoyed their atmosphere in the dining room. The reason for only 4 stars is that we had a reservation and while we arrived 7 mins after the reservation time due to misjudging the walking time from our hotel, we had to wait over 40 minutes for a table. The host said we were late so we deserved to wait.

Had the pleasure of dining here tonight with my partner. All outdoor tables were taken up so we were seated indoors for the evening. Service was prompt; ordering and food came out relatively quickly. As the night continued, however, we had a bit of trouble finding someone available for the dessert menu and bill. Food was delicious; would recommend the carbonara and tiramisu. Best I’ve had for each dish. Thank you for the lovely meal and look forward to coming back next time!

What a wonderful experience to have dinner here. We had been in Venezia for 3 days. We came back here again for our last meal in this city after visiting several restaurants, because the cuisines here were so delicious and unforgettable, especially for both the seafood Risotto and “Dario-special Squid’s inked Risotto”. Special thanks to our waiter and friend,”Dario”, for his considerate, thoughtful and warm-hearted service. And thanks to the Chef for those amazing cuisine s also. We really enjoyed a lot.
