Osteria l'Orto dei Mori

Great food on a very nice square in quite neighborhood of Venice. A hidden gem

This is an absolute must visit when i Venice, small and quaint place with friendly and helpful staff, but the real star is the food. I can not recommend this restaurant highly enough

Don’t be fooled: This restaurant is absolutely terrible. The food was overpriced and mediocre, and I actually got sick from it, experiencing the worst stomach cramps I’ve had in my life. I have a gluten allergy (Celiac disease), and they made every promise that my food would be safe, but that obviously didn’t happen. Unfortunately, it gets worse than just me having an allergic reaction. I returned to the restaurant the next day to explain my situation, and they were incredibly rude to me and my wife. They kept saying I must have gotten sick from a different restaurant, which is actually impossible. They told me no customer had ever gotten sick from their restaurant (yeah right!), even though only a couple of the dishes are gluten free - most of the menu was off limits for me anyway! The restaurant put me on the phone with the manager, who served us dinner the night before, and he was super defensive and rude, telling me I would not get my money back and that I should call the police instead. One of the owners approached me aggressively and told me I shouldn’t travel outside the country if I could get sick - so rude! I kept calm and explained that while the staff had the best intentions, the restaurant has a small kitchen, and nothing is impossible, including cross contamination. But they were so offended by the idea that I got sick from them - which is a 100% certainty, I hadn’t eaten elsewhere for hours and I know what a gluten reaction feels like - that they basically told me to get lost, or call the police. (Why would I call the police for getting sick at a restaurant?) I would NOT recommend this place to anyone, but especially if you’re traveling with someone that has an allergy. They will tell you anything you want to hear - that they can accommodate dishes for you, that they’ll use separate pans and prep areas, and that no one has ever gotten sick there - but you know better. I wouldn’t wish this sick feeling on anyone, but it was made 100% worse by the attitude of the staff in that restaurant. This is not how you treat customers, especially if they get sick. Avoid at all costs.

Brilliant! Food with such precision and flavor. Wonderful wine list and solid service. Very reasonable considering the high quality of local ingredients. Bravo.

They refused to service us because we only wanted a couple of drinks, without food. 40 minutes before closing. We were absolutely sober btw and dressed well. Awful service, was very rude to say “It’s a restaurant, madam!”

Best dinner in Italy so far. The waiter convinced us to sit outside and we did not regret it. It was a beautiful views, delicious food and great atmosphere. We shared appetizers and had pasta. My favorite was pasta with shrimp.

Very good food, always great service with a fair price. An insider tip in a local area. Always love to come back.

Although not cheap and a bit crowded this is an excellent place. Premium Beer was cold and served to perfection. Very nice owner and good service. Food was perfectly executed made of good ingredients. Located in a quiet beautiful corner of northern venice. Alcoholic beverages are expensive as generally in italy.
