Al Gobbo di Rialto

One of the best meals of our entire trip to Venice. Al Gobbo di Rialto sits just off the Rialto Market, and you can taste exactly that. The lobster is incredibly fresh, grilled simply with olive oil and lemon, sweet and perfectly charred. The spaghetti with mussels was outstanding: plump, briny cozze in a bright white wine and garlic broth, pasta cooked just right. No frills, no tourist gimmicks, just honest Venetian seafood done beautifully. Do not leave without ordering both. Exceptional.

We had an amazing experience at this restaurant in Venezia. The service was eccezionale — friendly, attentive, and truly outstanding from start to finish. We were a group of seven, and everything we ordered was delicious. The pizzas were perfette, and the carbonara was rich, creamy, and full of flavor. A special mention to the vegan option — my sister-in-law was pleasantly surprised with a beautiful and tasty pasta dish, which made the experience even more special. To finish, we had tiramisù and crème brûlée, both absolutely delicious. Without a doubt, this was the best lunch of our trip. Super consigliato! We highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Venezia.
