Un autentico locale Veneziano, una grande sorpresa a pochi passi dalle zone più turistiche! Piatti a base di pesce davvero buonissimi e ottimi vini. Simpaticissimi tutti, dal titolare ai camerieri. Torneremo presto! Grazie!!!

Accoglienza stupenda, locale curato e invitante, cucina veneziana ottima - menù cortissimo e stagionale. Molto piacevole!

Autentico ristorante veneziano, sicuramente uno dei pochi veri locali storici rimasti al giorno d'oggi. Abbiamo gustato dei deliziosi piatti di pesce, curati e con ingredienti di primissima qualità. Ottimi vini hanno accompagnato la nostra cena. Un ringraziamento a Gigi e Loris per la bellissima serata!

Se non mangiate qui siete Pazzi! Tutto perfetto, in trasferta a cena da sola. Sono arrivata dopo una pioggia primaverile alle prime luci della sera, sono stata accolta come fossi tornata a casa dopo un lungo viaggio, ascoltata e coccolata. il proprietario del quale mi pento di non aver chiesto il nome, dopo avergli detto che ero indecisa tra baccalà mantecato e pasta è arrivato con un assaggio di baccalà su polenta, buonissimo! Mi sono presa la mia pasta allo scoglio una delle più buone mangiate negli ultimi anni, tanto anni! Ingredienti di prima qualità!! Il tutto accompagnato da un pinot rosato del Friuli che mi ha consigliato per accompagnare il mio pasto. Musica jazz azzeccata, nel frattempo ha ricominciato a piovere e il rumore della pioggia era perfetto. Un finale di giornata che mi ha fatto desiderare durasse di più. Grazie per la Bella esperienza

Nice spot away from main tourist routes. Menu is seafood focused. I loved their linguine with sardines, it surprised my palate in a good way. The host was very attentive and friendly. I didn't ask his name but he said he's been in the restaurant business since 1968. Рекомендую, вкусно.

Absolutely delicious food. Our family of different ages and tastes loved everything that we ordered. The service was a lot of fun and though for some of guests that might look - I guess - a bit unkind, we perceived is as really open and joyful. That was not just delicious dinner but real Italian experience.

I have eaten at Al Mascaron a few times before. Long history and the owner is right there serving wines and taking your order. The Taglierini Scoglio was excellent and loaded with critters from the lagoon. Antipasto di Pesce showcased traditional preparations of classic Venetian appetizers. Grazie!

We had a delicious meal here celebrating a birthday. We shared the seafood starter (the herring was particularly delicious) we had a pasta and dessert each and multiple glasses of wine. The total bill came to just over €50 each. This was extremely reasonable considering the quality of food and the service. The staff were attentive but not pushy or trying to rush us out of the restaurant. It was a very relaxing atmosphere where we enjoyed a very long a lovely meal. I am not surprised that Gigi received an award for his restaurant. Thank you so much!

Michael Hedegaard Jensen

Excellent! First of all, the food is great! The place is full of family and history. Learn Italien and get Gigi to tell you stories. The service is warm and attentive, and all though it can get chaotic it is a great experience to dine here.

We were in their old place 13 years ago, and we made sure we could revisit them again if we ever go back to Venice. We made it last night and we were not disappointed … very nice food, wine and wonderful night!

Really wanted to gate keep this place but also want to share my love for this amazing local establishment. From the starters to pasta to dessert and great wine pairings, you could feel the heart and soul in each bites. We tried a selection of seafoods appetizers and pastas; absolutely devoured them, so flavorful and like nothing I’ve had before. Besides, the prices are super affordable for the top-notch quality. You can tell this is not a typical touristy place by the amounts of locals coming in to eat and chat with the owner. But they are also super welcoming and make you feel like you are among the locals. So glad to have dined in such a great and authentic place in Venice, it was the perfect cherry on top of my visit to this wonderful city. Hope I can go again soon!

Amazing authentic Italian food. Cozy atmosphere, excellent server. We didn’t have reservations but were seated at outside table. Owner Gigi thank u!

Have you ever had a meal so good that it made you grateful to be alive? It’s here. This restaurant—this experience—is beyond spectacular. I cannot overstate how excellent, how perfectly prepared, and how thoughtful the dishes were. The seafood antipasti is transcendant; the ravioli will make you see the face of God himself. Venetian classics take center stage under the warm and watchful eye of Chef Gigi. This restaurant is life affirming. Unmissable. It is maybe as close to perfection as one could get. You have not tasted Venice until you’ve visited Al Mascaron!

Gerardo Fuenmayor

Very warm and friendly people. They called me by my name, served us delicious plates and wine. It’s a very good option to have lunch or dinner in Venice.

Michael O'Reilly

Simply the best restaurant we visited in Venice. No frills, traditional and different. It was recommended to us by the artist who makes the beautiful miniatures, a few door away, who lunches there most days. Try the spaghetti with clams🤪🤪

Very nice restaurant We had a reservation before a month but on that same day they had a large group of reservation. It seemed that they forgot our reservation. But the Sir who worked there gave us a place to sit and offered us service. He was very gentle and kind. Food was also perfect

Monica Kim

One of my favorite restaurant in Venice! Very nice atmosphere and the service was excellent! The waiter whom I adore, was so fast and lovely :) The food was excellent, I’ve visit every day in my visit in Venice.

My favorite lunch spot in Venice. I go every time I am 'tour guiding' visitors on the island. I have NEVER had a bad meal in 5 years. Everything is fresh, so you run the risk of not being able to get whatever your heart is set on. But be flexible and get your next favorite and I promise it will be delicious!

My husband and I went here after a recommendation from a nearby shopkeeper. He said if looking for authentic, delicious pasta, this is the place. When we arrived the place was packed and we were expecting to get turned away with the words “sorry, no reservation, no space” as we’ve heard so much before on the island; but to our surprise they found a space for us! Sure it was sharing half a four-top with another couple, but we had no problem and luckily they did too. There seemed to only be two people working and they were rushing around. Even then so, we got our menus, order taken and food all in good timing. My husband and I ordered a half liter of the red wine, caprese salad, seafood pasta, liver and polenta and tiramisu. The salad with Buffalo mozzarella was wonderful! Cheese so milky and perfectly paired with the tomatoes. My husband loved his pasta (but wish the pasta was homemade). I ordered the liver because I heard it’s a famous Venice dish. I honestly don’t like liver much but with the addition of grilled onions, polenta and bread, it was pretty good. The tiramisu was light and delicious way to end the meal. If you can stand the tight space, definitely check this place out!

The best real authentic Venetian Food. I have been there two times. I couldn’t find any other restaurant with so amazing tasty authentic food. Tried squid with black ink, liver with onions and beefsteak. Beer is bit expensive but house wine is very nice and one should try! It’s a must if you love real good quality food! The service is super good, the guys there are old and amazingly cool!

Ambiente famigliare in locale molto caratteristico con cucina a vista vicino alla libreria acqua alta. personale estremamente cortese e cibo squisito grazie allo chef Osvaldo . Abbiamo consumato due primi ( pasta fresca ottima ), due calici di vino ,un secondo seppie e polenta , due tiramisù e caffè per un totale di 80€. Consigliato per qualità cibo, posizione e ospitalità del personale .

Trattoria tipica veneziana. Buona qualita'. Cortesi e accoglienti. Prezzi non economici ma considerate che siete a Venezia dove tutto e' costoso. Arredamento minimalista. Consigliato.

Very nice place, good service and delicious food. One of the few traditional italian restaurants in the center of Venice. You will eat great for sure but i think it was a little bit expensive for the portion size. For two main dishes, 250ml white wine, one sparkling water and bread, the bill was more than 70 euros. You should definitely try the cuttlefish dishes. It was the best meal i had in Venice the last 4 days.

Been here many times when in Venice which is yearly. Mascaron ever disappoints. Food is wonderful, service is friendly, and the atmosphere is inviting. A call for reservations will ensure an evening of great food and wine.

Diana Ramos

Tasty food, very good culinary experience. The food price is quite expensive for the quantities served. The antipasto I recommend "Plato misto" with veggies and fishes (16€) as main dish we got spaghetti with mussels and langostin, this is prepared for 2 or more people (16€ per person) for two people quantity is not that much so if you have a big appetite (as me) without antipasti you will end up hungry. Water had a particular flavor like sparkling water without gas... In General was a nice experience authentic Italian food, non touristic place! Yes!

Premessa: le aspettative erano abbastanza alte dato che andavo spesso al Mascaron. A livello di servizio e ambiente ci siamo, personale cordiale-simpatico e ambiente raffinato. Il cibo era oggettivamente molto buono, soprattutto lo spaghetto allo scoglio, i prezzi mi hanno lasciato un po’ amareggiato rispetto a quelli dell’osteria mascaron. Dispiace che un locale storico, frequentato da veneziani ormai sia a livello dei posti da turisti. Sicuramente c’entra il Covid e l’amento di prezzi generale di Venezia.

Abbiamo cenato qui io e il mio ragazzo, locale tranquillo e tipico, porzioni leggermente scarse rispetto ad altri ristoranti provati in città. L’antipasto di pesce misto lasciava un po’ desiderare (i gamberetti erano quasi inesistenti, forse meglio non inserirli) ma i primi erano eccellenti. 1 antipasto 2 primi piatti 2 calici di vino 2 caffè 1 amaro 105€

You go here for the food, not the service. The food was average and good. Far too expensive but likely normal for the area at about 25 Euros a person. Staff is very unfriendly and the menu is a bit confusing on what it means when it says 2 orders minimum for certain dishes.

Come rovinare una cena a Venezia! Ci siamo fermati a Venezia per una notte e ci siamo affidati alla Mascareta (che conoscevamo bene nella precedente gestione, quando era nel circuito Osterie d’Italia Slow Food) ma purtroppo è stata un’esperienza pessima: abbiamo speso 70 euro per un antipasto, un primo, un secondo (in tutto, non a persona) e una bottiglia di vino. Il primo piatto è arrivato dopo circa 30 minuti mentre gli altri due dopo circa 1h e 45 min. Per un cestino di pane abbiamo atteso circa 20 minuti. Un contorno di versura chiesto per il bimbo, mai arivato. Nel frattempo la bottiglia di vino (devo dire molto buona) è finita e non abbiamo quindi potuto assaporarla con il cibo. Al momento del pagamento non un gesto di cortesia per scusarsi del pessimo servizio, bastava anche solo il gesto di un caffè offerto. Purtroppo da sconsigliare. Ci dispiace per il cameriere, molto gentile, al quale il titolare pareva imputare la responsabilità del disguido. Una cena dev’esseref un’esperienza, così è solo una spesa.

Siamo stati qui l'anno scorso ma ripassandoci davanti ancora ci ricordiamo il pessimo trattamento ricevuto. Un sabato sera, il posto era aperto con poche persone all'interno, entriamo per ordinare due calici di vino, e il padrone con tono sgarbato ci ha detto che non aveva tempo. Ripeto: il locale non era affatto affollato, e un trattamento simile nei confronti di un cliente che è disposto a spendere per due calici di vino (non due coca cole) un un'enoteca è inaccettabile.
