Description

Summary: Authentic Venetian fish cuisine.

Nestled in the heart of Venice, Alle Testiere is a small yet renowned restaurant specializing in fresh, market-driven seafood dishes. With just over 20 seats, this intimate venue requires early reservations. Run by a pair of lifelong friends, the restaurant boasts a daily-changing menu featuring the best catches from local markets, such as swordfish carpaccio and spaghetti with clams. The main courses often include a mixed grill of fresh fish, while the wine list is carefully curated with top Italian vintages. Desserts like the rich dark chocolate cake "tenerina" provide a sweet finish to the meal. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, reminiscent of a traditional "bacaro" with wooden tables and simple decor. The spot is popular among locals and tourists alike, and it's not uncommon to rub shoulders with celebrities during Venice's festive seasons.
