Osteria al Cicheto

Lovely place. We came with no reservations and they accommodate us in the bar. Food is great and great value, wines are reasonably priced and tasty from local vendors. Ambience is warm and welcoming (also quite romantic if you’re looking for that) Overall very good!

Had a really good experience here! It’s my first restaurant in Venice. The place decorated so unique and cool. Different wine choices and several meals in the menu. The owner was really friendly and recommended me good meals! I loved the food here! Worth a try!

Spectacular food, simply perfect. Small place, cozy atmosphere, highly recommended.
Coliflower soup was glorious, octapus perfectly cooked, veal liver was perfect, wine was fabulous, everything was so good!

The food was impeccable and authentic. A very small and cozy restaurant, very intimate. They serve a fixed dinner with plenty delicious options. I strongly recommend the cicheti selection. The waitress was very polite and spoke multiple languages, she made good wine recommendations. I had a lovely time and my last dinner in Venezia there 10/10.

Best place to fill your tummy in Venice😋
“Don’t ever missed the beef tartare and panna cotta”. There is a very memorable moment here. Me and my friend just walked in and we are ordering stuff, i was talking in my language with my friends “we used Thai” i was mentioning about i want to eat more Parma ham. Suddenly the owner heard the word parma ham. He walked to me and said you mean prosciutto? Then he walked to the bar beside and gave me some bites of it which gave me a big smile like in the photo🤣. After that i told him that can you slice me a plate of that and charge me for it. Hahaha

This was highly recommended and close to our hotel after a long day travelling and it exceed our expectations. Food was so delicious that we wanted to go back everyday.

I had a wonderful dining experience at this establishment, conveniently located near the train station. The food was exceptionally delicious, and the desserts were a delight. The service provided was impeccable. A standout dish for me was the black squid ink spaghetti and the pork chop with an unforgettable accompaniment, even though I can’t recall its name on the menu. Thank you for a delightful culinary experience!

Little place with just a few tables. Very good and fresh food with nice staff. The grilled tuna with tomatoes, olives and potatoes was delicious!

Amazing little restaurant with great dishes and huge selection of top quality wines. Server was very helpful and made great recommendations. We had the Venetian appetizer (octopus, stockfish 2 ways), Bigoli, pork cheek, and cuttlefish. A spread of venetian dishes that were all delicous. Would definitely recommend

Amazing 3 courses for dinner, spaghetti is perfect in texture with right balance of softness and sauces. Pork is so tender with great sauce.

We got the recommendations from the hotel front desk when visiting Venice.

The place is at the back street and has a small and cozy atmosphere. We were lucky to secure two seats without reservations. I will definitely suggest making one.

You can find a lot of local Venice cuisine here. We had cuttle fish bigoli, cuttle fish with crusted polenta, traditional bean soup, 3style stockfish with crusted pllenta, Tiramisu and almond cake(Venice style).

Everything was delicitous and it was such a nice food experience to taste the local cuisine. Even though the night was busy, the staff was very patient with us (as tourists) and helped us choose a wine to pair with the dishes.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Much better than some over priced restaurants around st. Marco.

We stopped in here for a quick bite and tried the cicchetti, OH MY GOD! This spot is the best!! We tried multiple places, and this one was the best by far! Also, the wine was spectacular!! I love that they are blunt on what they do and how they do it... come here with an open mind to try small vineyards.. you'll be able to taste something unique!

Note: If you're not doing their 3 course meal experience, you'll need to stand outside or at the counter to have cicchetti and wine. This was still a fun way to eat and chat and move to the next destination!

I grabbed a bar table and ordered some snacks, it tasted delicious, try everything in the display cabinet, you will not be disappointed.

My first meal in Venice and I couldn't be more satisfied! Every bit was full of flavor and freshness! The waiter was very helpful in pairing my food with wines. The atmosphere was top notch as well, away from all the tourist noise.

This is the restaurant you should go to in Venice. Did not take pictures because we hope to focus on the food. But go there, have an authentic dinning experience

Very cozy and intimate place, very nice local wine list, and one of the best meals I've had in Italy. Definitely a spot I will remember. I would highly recommend any of the pastas, and the traditional Venice appetizer was sublime. You can book a reservation on their website (recommended), but they let me eat at the bar without a reservation.

Enjoyed the food, wine and atmosphere. Place was full just after our family walked in without reservation!

Great food!!!!
Light dinner option: €30 (appetizer+main course)
Full dinner option: €40

The light option was more than enough for us and the food was SO GOOD! Recommended for dates!

Fantastic Venetian cuisine in a comfortable and quiet setting down a small street near the train station. Only a stones throw from the throngs of tourists, and yet you’re transported far from them… It was a wonderful experience. The spaghetti with tuna sauce : chefs kiss.

A gem hidden in the small street. The place is very cozy, the staffs are very lovely, and most of all their food is Perfecto!

I ordered the light menu(30€) which give an option to choose one appetizer and one first course (mainly pasta option).

I decided to go with the traditional fish appetizer. The balance of the taste and smell is very nice. One is creamy , one is salted tasty, and another one is sour. I am sure that you will enjoy with the variety of taste!

For the pasta, I went with Spaghetti with cattle fish sauce. Even I am not Italian, but I feel like it is the “correct” one.😄

Also I finished my meal with espresso!
It was very pleasant evening for me.
Thanks chef!
