Ristorante AcquaPazza in Metropolitan City of Venice

"We stayed two nights in Venice for our honeymoon and had dinner here both nights due to our amazing experience. The food is delicious, the service is wonderful, and it’s located in a tranquil square. The waiters even remembered my husband did not eat cheese and brought him a special bruschetta for the complimentary appetizer. This is a must go and very reasonably priced. We were even recommended this restaurant by another restaurant as it is the best pizza. We will return on every trip."

"Fantastic and unique menu! Everything was great and fresh (obviously homemade unlike some others that advertise)"

"Simply wow! Our local Venetian friends brought us here and ordered our food which meant we had an incredible experience. The starter sharing seafood platter was incredible with a huge variety and gigantic portions ample to share across 6 of us. My potato crusted Turbot was one of the most standout dishes with thinly roasted potatoes covering the most delicately perfectly prepared fillet I've ever had. The traditional seabass with potatoes and olives was also delicious. The extra special treat was the iced fruit gelatos which were sorbet frozen in the original fruit. Unbelievable! Highly recommend and worth a trip. Book in advance"

"Food excellent with unusual menu. Best we had in Venice. Service is a bit rushed and they hover a bit too much. Such a shame because the food deserves to be enjoyed. More expensive than other places but the food warrants it. You would not come for pizza or basic pasta dish. Sea bass with scalloped potatoes or sea bream with almonds was amazing as was beef rigatoni. Tiramisu was so light and fluffy."

"We were passing by and were drawn in by the outdoor tables in the December sun. We decided to have a spontaneous lunch. The prices are obviously high (there’s even a €5 per-person table charge). But the service doesn’t match the price level: no one smiles, they forgot our drink so we had to remind them, and the waiters smoke right next to the guests’ tables. The food wasn’t anything special either. We tried the seafood soup (which came without any broth), the seafood salad (just seafood, no greens), and a Margherita pizza. Overall, it’s neither a good nor a bad restaurant, but I wouldn’t recommend it to friends visiting Venice."

"Recommended by our hotel at the St. Regis. Overall, great food. The staff were professional but not too many smiles, until they opened up and socialized. Note that it’s $5 cover PER person to sit outside. It’s all over the menu so that wasn’t suprising but if you don’t read the menu carefully, it may catch you off guard. Enjoyed the bread, pasta, and clams. The fried zucchini is a MUST. Water was good but didn’t order any wine this time. Overall, great vibes being in the courtyard and good food."

"I had an incredible dinner at Ristorante AcquaPazza in Venice. From start to finish, everything was perfect—the food, the wine, the service, and the decor. We started with scallops and a selection of fried fish, all fresh and perfectly prepared, as well as a scallop salad. The highlight was the sea bream, which was cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. The service was warm and attentive, making the entire experience even more enjoyable. The lemon was all over the plates, discrete and delicious. If you’re looking for an authentic and high-quality seafood experience in Venice, this is the place to go! Can’t wait to return."

"Our final meal in Venice was an excellent one here. Located in a beautiful and quiet square, this restaurant served us some of the best pasta we had in Italy. The seafood pasta was extremely flavorful for how simple it seemed. I also enjoyed my amberjack fish and my son had a perfectly cooked steak. We were too full to order dessert, but saw some at other tables that looked amazing. We were also pleasantly surprised to get a mini bottle of strawberry-cello, a perfect ending to our meal and our time in Venice!"
