In this post, you will find suggestions for restaurants in Venice. There are three restaurant options with Italian cuisine and excellent value for money.
In our post about budget travel itineraries in Venice, we already talked about how prices can be abusive in touristic cities like Venice. We had a hard time finding nice, cool places with good prices. That’s why we decided to make a post dedicated to the restaurants in the city that we know and would definitely recommend.
Best Value Restaurants in Venice:
Pizza 2000
Open every day until midnight, we found Pizza 2000 walking through the alleys of Venice. When we reached about a block from the place, we could already smell pizza in the oven. We took a photo to remember to come back to later. And hey, it was worth every penny. It was the best pizza we had in Italy.
In addition to the affordable price (about 12 euros), the size of the pizza is quite large and one is enough for two people, despite the traditional Italian thin crust. They have a good variety of flavors and you can eat in or take away. But be careful if you want to eat there, as the place has few chairs and is usually full.
Bacaro Quebrado
This was one of the good finds we found on TripAdvisor. The restaurant is quite small and it was a little difficult to find it. Despite that, we were very pleased with the service and quality of the restaurant as soon as we entered. The owner was very friendly and served us wine and Couvert, with bread and colonial cheese on the house. No wonder the place was full, with customers waiting for a table.
The two pasta dishes did not disappoint. We ordered gnocchi and pasta con verdure (penne in Sugo sauce with vegetables). Everything was prepared quickly, but with care. The pasta ranges from 7 to 12 euros, depending on the meat that garnishes the plate. The restaurant also has side dishes from 4 to 9 euros. You can check out the entire menu on the Bacaro Quebrado website.
Dal Moro’s: Fresh Pasta to go
Dal Moro’s Venezia is very popular with tourists for two reasons: it’s close to St. Mark’s Square and the prices are great. All kinds of pasta are served in boxes, “to go” style, and they cost around 7 euros. The restaurant doesn’t have tables to eat on site. The way is to buy and consume sitting nearby.
The hotel room kitchen:
Jokes aside, nothing better to save money than cooking in your hotel room or hostel. The markets in Italy are charming and offer all the products we drool over in the imported areas in our countries at the best prices. Selection of cheese, wines, chocolate… Products sold for 2 to 4 euros!
We had an amazing dinner for around 20 euros. We bought homemade tomato sauce, pasta, cheese, wine, salad, and bread for half the price of a lunch. And a bottle of white wine to top it off.
