Nestled in a quiet street of Venice, Ristorante ai Barbacani offers a fine dining experience with a romantic canal-side view. The establishment boasts an intimate ambiance and cozy interior design, complete with a fireplace for chilly evenings. Prices are on the higher end, with a 120 Euro non-refundable deposit required for a canal-side table, but the quality of the food justifies the cost. Seafood dishes such as homemade pasta with lobster and tagliolini all'astice are highly recommended, as well as the trittico of seafood-based items. The wine list is extensive, with a variety of options to pair with each dish. The staff is welcoming and attentive, with special mention to Erika and Enzo for their exceptional service. Outdoor seating is available on a balcony overlooking the canal, but space is limited. Overall, Ristorante ai Barbacani is a must-visit for a romantic evening or special occasion in Venice.
Restaurant is really cozy, seated us quickly (we had reservations) and has a beautiful romantic table for 2 outside on the canal (we saw a proposal there!). The food was all consistently good. There were other restaurants on our trip that knocked our socks off a little more than this one, but Ai Barbacani is still a fantastic dinner option in Venice.

Fantastic restaurant for a romantic meal or big family get together! The food was amazing and the service staff were top notch! They started us off with a complimentary glass of Prosecco and some bruschetta. I had the Tagliatelle Ragu and my fiancé had the salmon ravioli- both were fantastic and cooked to perfection. Alisandro took care of us all night and thanks to his service and the chef’s wizardry we left happy and satisfied! Thank you Alisandro and Ristorante ai Barbacani for a beautiful evening full of delicious food and wine! WE WILL BE BACK! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
