Our first meal in Venice, and we know it will probably be the best! Fresh seafood, fresh aromatic white truffle, and amazing service. The staff were very attentive and friendly. Love their refreshing combination of ingredients-my favourite dish was the fig, arugula, and shrimp salad. It's a beautifully curated spot that really surprised us, family-run, warm, full of charm and lovely little details. Highly recommend everyone to try it!

This was my first spot for a meal while visiting Venice, and I’m very glad I went here. The inside has a very rustic wine-cellar like feel too it. The service is very friendly, with the staff recommending pairings and also being chatty with each table. That part really makes you feel welcome. The food itself is quite good! Happy with the prices and the experience, if you’re looking for a quaint restaurant on a quiet alley-like street this is it.

Absolutely delicious! After our first visit, we loved it so much that we came back for our last night in Venice and it was the perfect choice. Every ingredient was incredibly fresh, the flavors beautifully balanced, and the service warm and personal. We enjoyed every dish we tried, but special mentions go to the raw fish platter, the grilled octopus with potato cream, the Venetian-style pasta, and the Ossobuco, each one cooked to perfection. And don’t miss the pear millefeuille for dessert, it’s divine! Our two nights here are some truly memorable dining experiences. We’d definitely come back again next time we’re in Venice! ????????

What a great restaurant! Food is beyond delicious! We had octopus as antipasti, mushrooms pasta for primi, ossobuco for secondi and a tiramisu for dolci. Everything was very tasty! Great service and good price for the quality of food. Thank you for this great dinner in Venezia!

Simply outstanding. Without question the best meal of our entire Italy trip through Milan, Venice, Florence, and Rome. From the incredible food to the impeccable service, Regina Sconta was such a memorable dinner for my family. The service was exceptional: gracious, attentive, and genuinely kind. We've dined at many places, but the hospitality here from everyone was on another level. We mentioned we were celebrating school graduations when booking, and the team went above and beyond to make it special in every aspect, even with a personalized card upon arrival. The food is just as impressive. Located next to the Rialto market, they feature amazing seasonal and fresh daily specials. We loved the fig and shrimp appetizer and truffle pasta (best I’ve had). Every dish was so perfectly balanced and beautifully plated. We tried their tiramisu and apple cake for dessert and enjoyed every bit of it. This was a true highlight for us, and we wholeheartedly recommend Regina Sconta without reservation.

Very nice restaurant in a back alley out of the super-touristic routes. You can find the traditional venetian dishes that are excellently prepared. The service is the right balance between formal and informal, so you can enjoy an elegant restaurant without the stiffness that sometimes comes with them. The place is itself is very nice and there are artworks displayed on every wall. A hidden gem that needs to be discovered.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If we could give this place 10 stars, we absolutely would! This was hands-down the best meal we had on our entire trip. From start to finish, everything was exceptional — the food, the atmosphere, and especially the service. Our party of six started with the mushroom and prosciutto burrata appetizers, and they set the tone for the rest of the meal. Everything was incredibly fresh, perfectly seasoned, and beautifully presented. Our server was a true highlight — friendly, funny, and wonderfully attentive. He took the time to walk us through the menu, offering thoughtful recommendations and making sure we were thrilled with our choices. This spot may be a little off the beaten path, but it’s absolutely worth seeking out. We’ll definitely be back the next time we’re in town!

The food was incredible. We got the local seafood sample platter, cuttlefish and squid ink pasta, and the porcini pasta, all of which were fantastic. The apple cake with whiskey ice cream topped it off as a perfect desert. The service was also great while being laid back, making great recommendations for the wine, as well as checking in on us throughout the meal. Would definitely recommend this to anyone coming to Venice.
