Osteria Cuccagna - VENEZIA

Posto amichevole, personale cordiale e buoni piatti. prezzi adeguati. esperienza positiva, torneremo

Ho cenato con sua moglie, abbiamo pensato che potevamo trovare piatti speciali invece di niente di speciale, buono ma mancava il dettaglio che la ha fatto fare il salto di qualità.

We had a great romantic dinner in this fantastic restaurant..the maneger of this restaurant was very expert in English and helpde us for choosing the best km0 dishes...we would like to thnx all the stuf for made a outstanding event for us in this restaurant...

Visited the restaurant on the recommendation of our hotel but was very disappointed with the whole visit. Firstly the waiter who seated us was very brusque and disinterested and really not helpful when asked to explain a couple of things from the menu. We chose a pasta and a gnocchi dish and although I would say that the gnocchi was ok it was pretty bland but the tagliatelle was the biggest disappointment. The pasta was over cooked and served coated in too much olive oil accompanied with a few chopped mushrooms which tasted as if they had been soaked in brine as every mouthful was full of salt. The mushrooms certainly did not appear to be fresh. We had expected to eat delicious pasta as we were in Italy but personally I have had far superior pasta dishes at my local Italian restaurant in Scotland!! The waiter who served our food was as unfriendly as his colleague who seated us and there was no customer interaction displayed by either of them. All in all a disappointment and a restaurant I would not recommend to others.

Found this place just off the main square. Menu looked really good and tables outside had spotless glasses and linen so we decided to give it a try. A great mixed starter with a variety of well presented bites whetted our appetites, and husbands black gnocchi (homemade) with seafood did not disappoint being light and tasty. I had the best Venetian liver ever, sweet, succulent and melt in mouth. Desserts were also homemade and delicious. We drank an excellent bottle of local white wine and the cost was very reasonable at just 71euros which included prosecco as an aperitif and a very corrected cafe corretto for us both afterwards.
