Lovely lunch today at Oliva Nera. Stuffed courgette flower was delicious. Great food and service.

The food was simply delicious- tasty and a good selection even for my little fussy eater.
The service was so friendly and helpful- it was a wonderful way to end our wonderful holiday in Venice.

Quaint little restaurant off the beaten path that was absolutely amazing! Food was fresh and made with love! We didn't have a bad dish!

Lasagna was yummy. The lamb chops were absolutely delicious and the one thing you must get! Every bite was heavenly. I was so happy.

Sea bass was also cooked very well. Zucchini flower was tasty, but not particular special. Gnocchi was good too, but my favorite. Oysters were fine, but not worth getting here especially for the price

Overall had an amazing dinner. Highly highly recommend! Try to make a reservation as they get full.

Food is very tasty!! I specially love the fish ravioli; beef tartar is a bit too moist, could have not mixed in with the runny egg; and fried zucchini flower is somewhat new and interesting.

Tucked away from the busy main square San Marco, this fine trattoria offers dishes to really indulge in. Be it the superb pasta dishes - the lasagne is some of the best I tried or the tasty fish and meat courses really make this worth a visit. The wine list offers excellent choices and the really friendly staff ensures you will make the right choice for your meal! Table outside is worth the wait! Will be back

This place was recommended to me by my dearest Italian sister/best friend, Marta, and we couldn’t have been happier about the recommendation!

Isabella, the owner, was warm and welcoming and all of the dishes served here were as delicious as they were delightful. Highly recommend the zucchini flowers as a starter and you really cannot go wrong with any of the first or second dishes. We enjoyed every single bit of our meal! This place leaves you feeling just at home and makes your family feeling bigger than it is.

Thank you Isabella! We hope to see you again soon!

Delightful restaurant and very hospitable service. Family run business with a focus on doing a smaller menu very well. We fell across this restaurant on our walk around the area. To start the chef gave us a complimentary arancini style ball with homemade tomato sauce and we ordered the fried stuffed zucchini flower and fried artichoke with homemade mayonnaise dip. For mains we had homemade lasagna and the fettuccine with shrimp, cherry tomato and artichoke special. To finish off we had a tiramisu to share. We really enjoyed our meal and would recommend booking if you want to visit.

UPDATE: I've seen a few other people who wrote low reviews mention that price was an issue for them because they didn't know how expensive it would be or whatever. I have to say that it's pretty ludicrous, given that the restaurant has all the prices outlined on their menus outside of the restaurant and even with drinks and specials, as a customer if price is of concern all you have to do is ask for the price and then make a decision. Simple as that. We think this meal was worth every euro we spent on it.
