Osteria al Tajer

What a wonderful discovery! From the moment I walked in, I was charmed by the restaurant's quaint atmosphere and the music that set the mood. The food was truly delicious, with every dish exceeding expectations. To top it all off, the service was fantastic – attentive, friendly, and efficient.

The lasagna was outstanding with an uncomplicated homecooked feel to it. The pesto pappardelle dish was simple yet full of flavour. If you plan on dining for dinner, I’d highly recommend to make a reservation because seats are limited and fill up quickly. The lady who served us was very nice

Outstanding hole in the wall local hangout. Unpretentious great tasting food prepared and presented with care. The eggplant was succulent and spaghetti with olive oil and red pepper flakes was sublime. It is clear the chef takes pride in each plate. This is true osteria.

We found this restaurant by accident and we probably had the best food during our entire Italy trip. The place is a little small and only has some bar chairs to sit on the wide. They sell different cicchetti veneziani, and a lot of people come only to have a small snack and a drink while standing up. However they also have a real menu. We tried the pappardelle with pesto and spaghetti with shrimps and eggplant sauce and both were delicious. We couldn't miss to also try some of the cicchetti and the polpette. Everything was excellent. I also really loved the atmosphere. It's a little away from the tourist routes and most of the clients were locals drinking their wine or best and having a small snack while socialising. The owner was exceptional friendly and welcoming. At the end I also tried their Negroni and even they were out of ice it was really good. Thanks for this evening, I hope we can be back some day. If you are looking for an authentic and special place in Venezia, this is a must.

As my husband was suffering from a bad cold, I decided to continue with my plans to have a dinner here one evening during our stay in Venice. The selection was a relatively long list of daily choices and I was very happy with the 'tagliatelle al ragù di cinghiale.' Absolutely delicious and large portion very reasonably priced. The service was great, and the lovely host was very gracious and helpful. I would definitely go back, and hopefully my husband could join me.

Absolutely fantastic food, atmosphere and welcome. Was recommended this restaurant by a local bar man. So glad I listed and took the family. Proper local home cooked food that doesn't bust the bank. Outstanding dish had the be; the wild boar tagliatelle and the seafood lasagna. Wish was staying longer so we could go back to try more delicious dishes Thank you

Wonderful host who made us feel very welcome. Good wine, excellent food and reasonable prices for the quality. The food is fresh, clearly made in house and the menu is small enough to ensure it remains fresh. The restaurant also has quite nice location, situated just off the waterfront with a good view. It is a little hot, but that's less to do with the restaurant and more to do with the fact this is the middle of summer in the Mediterranean. For anyone looking for authentic food in Venice, you should come here.

Excellent restaurant. The pasta I had was delicious, I've eaten at several places in Venice and this was by far the best. There are lots of expensive tourist traps in this city and so it's nice to have found a genuinely great place. It's quite small so I can imagine it might get full on busy days. The staff were really friendly and helpful.
