La Palanca

My loveliest place in Venice.The incredible view on the row embankment, waves are welcoming under your feet but staff will give you some footrest.The stuff is fully friendly and really funny, I should say that it’s the best customer service that I’ve seen in the Venice. The atmosphere is really calm and has “la vita è bella” vibes :)))It’s not the place only for tourists, I saw a lot of locals, workers in special clothes and a little foreigners.The food was awesome and really fresh. I’ve taken an antipasti plate with fresh tuna tartar and another small fishes (18). It was really nice.And for the dessert I had the best tiramisu (6) in my whole life! The cream was incredible.White dry wine is good smelled and nice for taste.I highly recommend this place for lunch or dinner.

We came here as we heard that this was a great place to have lunch. It will require you to take the vaporetto from the main island over, but the trip is completely worth it as you can dine waterside with Venice in view. Of note, sometimes waves will breach the side of the walkway. The restaurant has set up wooden boards as well as elevated crates beneath some tables to prevent your shoes from getting wet. This is not a big issue, and in fact we had a good laugh when it happened to us.THE FOOD HERE IS STELLAR. Both my partner and I agree that this is likely the best dining establishment we ate during our 2-day stay in Venice. The seafood is extremely fresh, the staff was friendly, welcoming and attentive. This dining establishment focuses on food and customer service. We at no point felt rushed as we did on the main island.We started off with the fish platter which came with whipped salted cod, marinated sardines, raw tuna in olive oil, and anchovies. The whipped cod was in our opinion the best in the area. The Buffalo mozzarella with roasted eggplant was awesome. The squid ink pasta and grilled prawns were also well made and not overly salty like some other restaurants on the main island. This is a place that we will likely revisit if we are in the area again in the future.

We absolutely loved this place! Highly recommend the tapas - local ones with cod and tuna, they were amazing, the meat was melting. And the tiramisu is one of the best I've ever had! The service was great and they kindly explained everything we were getting. And one of my favorite parts - a lot of locals were coming here :) we took a boat from Venice to eat here as a local friend recommended it to us.

A lovely cafe at Giudecca, Venice!Owners are very friendly, smiling and greeting us!Coffee and breakfast were delicious, with a perfect sea view!

We just arrived from Rome while I am very disappointed with the food there but this place recovered me from that experience. What a great pasta! And the sea food, all the sauce and sides of food and the fish plate … all amazing.

Fantastic food and views. Chose to celebrate my 50th birthday lunch at La Palanca, a great decision! The service was excellent and it reservation we made from Australia was honoured and noted perfectly. The restaurant suggested our menu, and despite it not being what I would normally order - no regrets the food was awesome. The views across to Venice were the cherry on top.

I would give 10 stars if I could! The atmosphere and the food were amazing. This place is popular for a reason, so having a reservation is recommended. We found it spontaneously and still managed to get a table inside. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming, and the food took us to the heaven and back! It was by far the most delicious food we tried in Venice. The mixed starter was so good and then they topped it for me with a simple pasta with tomato sauce. I say simple, but it was absolutely delicious! If you can make something so simple taste so delicious, you definitely know what you are doing. My husband has ravioli with fish and was also super impressed.Regards and big thank you to the whole crew there! You made our day. It’s worth it to come back to Venice just to eat at this place again.

We went there for lunch and it was really great Italian food. The service and owner were perfect. It’s worth to pay a visit there.I will strongly recommend the place for lunch. Just make a booking to be sure to get a table as it is full most of the time.
