Osteria da Pampo In Venezia

Typical Venetian family-run restaurant, like those of the past. Like all things of a certain value, it must be sought, it cannot be found near tourist routes. Small, simple, clean environment. Quick and kind service. Complete menu with wine pairing suggestions. We took 2 spaghetti alla busara, with 2 glasses of rosé, suggested on the menu, a mineral one, a homemade strawberry tiramisu and 2 coffees, 58 euros. Satisfying portions for both first courses and dessert, good wine. Bread and cover charge are not required. To be in Venice is mouth-watering. Happy experience, I hope to be able to repeat it, trying a few more dishes.

What a joy to find yourself in this restaurant far from the crowds that invade Venice where you can eat anything. Everything here was delicious, even the Easter lamb had unexpected flavors. Like this calcio peppe pasta to which the chef added mussels. A family atmosphere and nonna flavors!

Friendly service, amazing food, home style atmosphere away from the hoards of tourists in central Venice…would definitely return if I was in the area.

Best pasta we had here in Venice! They’ve preserved the seafood flavours and the pasta is perfectly Al dente

Fixed stop before entering Penzo, worth trying

Very highly recommended! If you want to eat really well in a cozy atmosphere, this is the right place for you! We'll definitely be back!

Wonderful discovery, family atmosphere, excellent cuisine and kindness of the staff. I'm sure we'll be back!

Very good place outside touristic crowd. Great local food, good wines. Some surprises in the menu (for example Cevapcici - best known in Balkans). Flagship dishes are highly recommended. Nice service and no "coperto" (although I didn't ask the question in their menu). All chairs are named after varieties of wine. Easy to get there either by walking near Grand Canal or by taking vaporetto water tram to "Biennale" stop.

Siamo stati in questo ristorante per cena. Il locale è molto carino e il personale alla mano. Il cibo è buono, ma le porzioni non sono molto abbondanti.

This place is located far away from all the touristy areas of Venice in the neighborhood of Sant'Elena. We took a vaporetto from our hotel near Rialto all the way to Giardini della Biennale. We probably should have got off the vaporetto at the S. Elena stop. As it was it took us a bit to find this small restaurant. We had dinner here on 8/30/2023. Our reservation was for 7:00 pm and we just made it with minutes to spare as we got a little lost! There is seating outside and inside. We prefer to dine inside. This is a family run quiet, casual place. Very relaxed vibe. Service was spot on. Menu is small but varied. Lots of appealing items. But I've read some reviews and I know what I want. Drinks-house white wine for me, beer for him. I order the spaghetti alla busara. This is spaghetti sautéed with prawns in a spicy "busara" sauce. The sauce is tomatoes, garlic, and chili pepper. It's not as spicy as I thought it would be. The pasta is perfectly al dente. Delicious. My husband got the gnocchi da mare which is small gnocchi served in a stew of "Mitilla" mussels, clams, and prawns. He loved his choice. Great food. Great service. Cost 42.50€/$46.30. As we walked back through the quiet night to the vaporetto stop we paused for a bit to sit on a bench and just chill. Would definitely return even though the place is a distance from our hotel. Well worth the journey to get here.
