Review highlights

Based on 321 reviews

Osteria della Rivetta is celebrated for its authentic Venetian fast food, particularly its exceptionally flavorful sandwiches and traditional dishes featuring both meat and fish. Visitors appreciate the genuine, local atmosphere that reflects Venice’s culinary heritage, alongside a calm and uncrowded setting. The staff are often noted for their professionalism and friendliness, although language barriers can be a challenge, with an expectation to speak Italian and limited use of devices like phones or laptops. A common theme is the strong preference for local clientele, with some reports indicating a less welcoming attitude toward tourists, which adds to the establishment’s exclusive, traditional charm. Patience and cultural respect are advised for those seeking a true Venetian experience.

If you want to experience a Venetian fast food this is the place. Here are served the most tasty sandwiches I’ve ever tasted in Venice, and everything is exquisitely slow and of course none will talk to you in English so bring with you a paper copy of a dictionary because no laptop nor mobile phones are allowed…

A gem! Lovely lady serving locals and we crashed the party. Vini in small glasses at 1 per and smashing coffee.Could have stood there all day. Ensure you visit Davide across the street for his incredible selection of vini to go. He’s a gentleman.

This place has an incredible soul and a truly local vibe—you’ll mostly find friendly locals enjoying the atmosphere. The homemade wine is absolutely delightful, and the small sandwiches are simply perfect. A hidden gem worth visiting!

My favorite 'traditional' local bar in Venice for drinks & bites, authentic place and owner.
