Thanks god this place is hidden away from all the tourist traps. It is so peaceful to stroll trough the quite lane along side the canal and find Hostaria da Franz. It looks unpretentious from outside, but after you enter you are greeted with a warm welcome even if it is your first visit. The service is very attentive and... more

Dine by a canal well away from the hordes; be intrigued by the line of washing across the canal and attached to the church. A wonderful welcome from Maitre d' Maurizio and a complimentary glass of prosecco as he guides you through the menu, mainly fish and local, so it depends on what's arrived that day. Do let yourself be... more

When we were arrived we were seated outside and quickly served drinks and a little starter, calamari which was delightful. The mains were mostly if not all seafood which we did not realise prior... more

We visited this restaurant on my birthday and enjoyed the experience very much. We were sat outside and when I said that I was worried about being bitten by mosquitos a waiter was sent to get me some mosquito repellent which I thought was very kind. The menu seems to change on a daily basis depending on what is seasonal/available... more

I was excited to try some good food in Venice so i booked this place. Firstly i was a little taken aback as i felt that the many waiters were not interested in taking an order, i waited 20min until i finally pinned down a waiter to get a wine menu, then once the wine arrived the waiter disappeared with... more
