Al Gatto Nero Da Ruggero In Venezia

Excellent maître d' - very funny too. We were told the next table was 45 minutes later and we were happy to accept whilst we wandered the island. Lovely taste of Italy, literally and metaphorically. We were two adults and a 12 year old. Excellent value.

A must-see place if you come to Burano. A very pleasant little course, fabulous cuisine (best vongole pasta I have ever eaten). We didn't have a reservation, we made friends with the chef who put us in front of everyone and we were able to get a place. I recommend 100%, thank you again for this unforgettable moment.

We absolutely loved our lunch at Al Gatto Nero last week. Fresh from a morning visit to Torcello on a sunny March day we were given a thoughtful choice of table, inside or out (had to be, out), with a friendly welcome from owner Massimino that set the tone for a great first visit. Next, complimentary glasses of Prosecco accompanied a run down of the day’s seafood. A stunning plate of sweet tellines and razor clams got things going, matched with a fine bottle of Lugana (thank you M, great advice), so good we had two. Next, as a primi,the risotto. This was, at one level, just a simple risotto. At another, just sublime. THE risotto. After that, wild turbot, king prawns, tira misu, coffee, “esse” Burano biscuits. Look, just go. It's wonderful. It's even “twinned in spirit” with the Seahorse in Dartmouth. Quite right too.

First of all, when you visit Venice you should definitely organize a day-trip to Murrano & Burrano. Regarding Al Gatto, the setting is fantastic, especially when seated outside. However, the appetizers were completely unrefined while the pasta was quite interesting, extremely expensive though. Eventually, we payed 155€ for two appetizers and a pasta - without drinks.

Highly recommended experience. Fresh fish and very well done. We ordered spaghetti with clams, Venetian cuttlefish and fried fish, all very good. Don't forget to order the tiramisu, very delicious!! The attentive and friendly waiters helped us with the vaporetto schedules.

Very good cuisine. Recommended if you go to Burano

We had here the most delicious tiramisu ever!!!

10/10, good experience. We encountered an unexpected incident where a gentleman accidentally knocked over our wine, creating a bit of a scene. However, the staff’s response to this mishap was nothing short of remarkable. They were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to ensure we moved past the incident smoothly, making it a top-notch experience in terms of handling the situation. What truly stood out and impressed us the most was the professionalism and attention to detail demonstrated by the team, especially our waiter, a gentleman of a certain age. This level of service made our dining experience memorable for the right reasons.

Five stars for sportsmanship: it was full and recommended the competition of the same level

Everything was just wonderful, the food was EXCELLENT and the service beyond. A must go!!!
