Al Nono Risorto

Osteria with pizza, pasta and fishes. Very warm welcome, grissini, vino della casa, all is good and the atmosphere very local with a garden to eat in the open air. Pizza dough homemade and 48h resting before cooking. Tasty and recommended.

this place is fire best spot in venice
-spot is so nice, in this nice spacious courtyard under a big tree, its like ur having a picnic except u dont gotta sit on a dumb limp blanket
-soo many options, from pizza to mussels, all soooo well priced (we ordered SO much, expecting like a 300 tab it ended up being 150)

Why 5 stars? Because this was our most memorable meal in Venice.

We had another meal in Venice that was pretty damn delicious, but there was something so delightful about Al Nono Risorto. First off, our journey to find the restaurant was an interesting one. It was definitely off the beaten path, and since it was dark outside, it was interesting to walk down the alleys at night. In any other circumstance, you'd assume you might be in a potentially bad situation to be walking down a dark alley at night, but in Venice, almost everywhere is an alley! And almost everyone there is a tourist like yourself.

Once we arrived, we sat out in the garden, which was as charming as possible. We were on a kick to order pizza and pasta every-other meal, and since we had pasta for lunch, guess what it was time for? We went with the carbonara pizza and the prosciutto pizza. Both were as good as it gets - definitely up there with the best pizza that we had in all of Italy.

But the most memorable aspect of our experience was the tiramisu. This was the best that I've ever had, without a doubt. After every bite, I almost wanted to cry: #1 Because it was so perfect and #2 Because every bite I took meant I was one moment closer to no longer being able to eat it. Look at the photos of it and you'll see how amazingly photogenic it is. It tastes just as phenomenal.

I just shed another tear as I miss Al Nono Risorto so much.

Not a bad stop for dinner. It definitely gets pretty busy and is definitely a tourist type restaurant. They had good wine and beer here. I had the beef fillet pieces with a green peppercorn sauce and peas. It was pretty tasty. The two pastas (carbonara and pesto were kind of "meh) and the monkfish was huge, delicious and perfectly cooked. Overall, it was an ok dinner.

Our food was delicious. It took a little waiting to order or to pay, but if you get in vacation mode, relax and enjoy your time there you will be pleased.
We had the calzone and tiramisu, both were to die for.

Everything was great - the mussels, clams, pizza, gnocchi, atmosphere, and service. One of the best places in Venice

Lasagne, gnocchi, pizza and tiramisu! How could you say no this place?

We had the bolognese lasagne and cheese gnocchi as our firsts. The lasagne was so creamy and soft, it practically melted in your mouth. The same could be said for the gnocchi - that sauce was to die for.

We opted for the maulwurf pizza as our main - it was topped with bleu cheese and spicy salami. Delicious.

They have an amazing garden seating area out back but it was not open due to the colder weather. Call and make a reservation if you're going to dine - at 10PM this place was completely full on a Thursday night.

Great atmosphere, great service. Delicious food. Nice casual outdoor restaurant away from the crazy scene of St. Marks square.

Nothing special about Nono's, but everything was solid. Menu is huge and you can find a dish for everyone.
Had penne with pesto and the Panda pizza which was mushrooms, and smoked cheese with Parmesan flakes.

Definitely come here for the relaxed atmosphere and quality food in Venice which seemed hard to find.

We had high hopes for this charmer just across the canal from Campo San Cassiano. We wanted to dine with the locals (assuming there were some) on our final night in Venezia, 2/13/2016, before continuing on to Firenza. Everything about the dining experience was okay. However, the next morning, my wife and I were both battling food poisoning- mine moderate, hers severe enough that we had to cancel our travel plans, extend our stay an extra night, and call in a doctor.

The suspected culprit: the shellfish in the special of the day--either the clams or the mussels, or both. My wife is a big fan of shellfish, so I let her have the majority of them, and took just a few for myself; hence the difference in the severity of our illnesses.

Still, mistakes can happen in any kitchen in the world, and the other dishes--the big salad, a Margherita pizza and squid with polenta--which we shared more or less equally, were delicious. The service was expectedly casual, the atmosphere was rollicking, and everybody had a splendid time.

Until the next morning.

So, a 5-star effort spoiled by a 0-star finish . . . I'll average that and round up to a 3.

Rustique, authentic, quick, good. A good atmosphere and decent food for cheap money. Staff is attentive and will make sure that you dip your biscotti in the vin santo, should you not be aware of traditions.
We will return, perhaps next time for lunch. Pizzas are great here.
