Where to Eat in Venice, Italy: We Tried a Restaurant Reddit Recommended

Finding somewhere to eat in Venice, Italy can be surprisingly difficult.

There are restaurants everywhere, but travelers searching online often ask the same questions: Where do locals eat in Venice? What are the best restaurants in Venice that aren't tourist traps? And where can you find authentic Venetian seafood?

So instead of choosing a restaurant from a viral TikTok or simply walking into the first place near Piazza San Marco, we looked through recommendations from travelers on Reddit.

One recommendation caught our attention:

Trattoria da Remigio. And specifically: get the clams.

So we went.

Trattoria da Remigio in Venice

Trattoria da Remigio is a Venetian restaurant located at Salizada dei Greci, 3416, Venezia, with an emphasis on seafood.

That made it especially interesting because seafood is one of the recurring recommendations when people ask what they should actually eat while visiting Venice.

Reddit discussions about eating in Venice frequently point travelers toward seafood, cicchetti and traditional Venetian dishes rather than generic Italian tourist menus.

Reddit Told Us to Get the Clams

This was the entire reason the restaurant ended up on our radar.

Sometimes the best travel recommendations aren't elaborate guides. They're another traveler saying, essentially, go here and order this.

And that's exactly the type of recommendation we're looking for while traveling.

Talk about the food, service, atmosphere, price and whether you would actually recommend it.

That distinction is important for the article: Reddit got you through the door; High Impact gives the final verdict.

What Should You Eat in Venice?

Even if you don't visit this particular restaurant, Venice has a food culture worth exploring beyond pizza and generic pasta.

Travelers discussing traditional Venetian food frequently recommend things like cicchetti, baccalà mantecato, sarde in saor, squid ink dishes and Adriatic seafood.

So when you're deciding where to eat in Venice, looking for restaurants serving Venetian specialties can be a better starting point than simply searching for “Italian food.”

Finding Restaurants in Venice Without Falling Into a Tourist Trap

This is actually one of the biggest themes I found in the Reddit results.

People repeatedly ask for restaurants that feel local, authentic and worth the money, rather than restaurants designed primarily around Venice's enormous tourist population.

One Reddit discussion offered a particularly simple rule: be cautious of restaurants where someone is standing outside actively trying to bring tourists in or where the menu relies heavily on pictures.

That doesn't automatically make a restaurant bad, but it's something worth keeping in mind.
