Frommer's "This bright and busy trattoria is a classic and has been packing them in for more than 50 years." Full review
Insight Guides "Thoroughly traditional, with years of accumulated pictures around the walls, this fish and seafood restaurant near the Rialto is always full, thanks to its good-value food."
Lonely Planet "Traditional seafood offerings range from straightforward grilled fish through seasonal specialities like capelonghe (razor clams) in a white wine broth to the more obscure uova di seppia." Full review
Gayot "Bustling seafood trattoria is a favorite among locals as much as tourists." Full review
DK Eyewitness "In this well-known fish restaurant in the Rialto area, waiters dash around loaded with platters of traditional seafood, such as delicate granceola (spider crab) and seppie in nero."
Time Out "A sort of high-class canteen, this big, bustling fish trattoria with its friendly (though brisk) service and fair-ish prices has been piling in locals and clued-up tourists for generations." Full review
Rough Guide "Roomy, loud and bustling seafood restaurant that’s been going strong for four decades."

Don't miss the veal liver with onions.
Fodor's "Folks still head here to savor the classic Venetian repertoire and, as most dishes are properly prepared (for the stiff prices, they should be), the rooms here are usually bustling." Full review

Concierge "If you're vegetarian—or just tired of Venice's fishy menus—La Zucca ("the Pumpkin") is the place to go."
Fodor's "The simple place settings, lattice-wood walls, and mélange of languages make La Zucca (the pumpkin) feel much like a typical, somewhat sophisticated vegetarian restaurant." Full review

Time Out "One of Venice's first 'alternative' trattorias and still one of the best - not to mention one of the best-value." Full review
Rough Guide "Long a well-respected restaurant, La Zucca was once a vegetarian establishment... but now goes against the Venetian grain by featuring a lot of meat."
Condé Nast Traveler "Vegetarians flock to La Zucca to escape Venice’s fish overload...with an interior lined in diagonal oak slats that give it a Swiss-chalet feel...La Zucca is a Venice oddity that merits a visit" Full review
Time Out "Offers and extensive menu of creative vegetarian dishes...there’s still plenty of meat and fish on the menu as well, plus scrumptious handmade desserts. " Full review

Time Out tip: In the summertime, a few tables are set up outside; call ahead or stop by the day before if you want to be sure to snag one.
Travel + Leisure "La Zucca has a delightful veggie-heavy menu, whatever your dietary preferences. Load up on the inventive sides – like prosecco-stewed onions, or zucca in saor, sweet-and-sour pumpkin"
