“ Great service and great food. The pizza was among the best I have had in Italy and the pasta was good too. Ambience could not be better and such a delight to sit by the canal and watch the world go by. ”
“ Best calamari in the whole wide world. Second best pizza (only because there wood burning pizza stowes are prohibited on the island...) ”
“ What a refreshment! One of the best Hugo Spritz I had during my vacation in Italy. Nothing could’ve been better but a couple of glasses in hot and colorful day on Burano. I would have definitely tried the food, but I had to hurry to catch the boat back to Venice! Great service! Fair price! Thank you guys! ”
“ The lady at the front announced us that the waiting for pizza will be about one hour, that is full, no space, just outside. After we decided to remain to eat outside, she said that in 5 minutes a table indoor will be ready. She said if we will order anything else then pizza, it will arrive shortly. So we had some pasta for main course and after to taste the pizza. Everything was delicious and we didnt felt that we wait a lot. The staff was nice. ”
“ Yesterday we had lunch at Ristorante Pizzeria Principe while visiting Burano. We walked past several places, but this one stood out because of the colourful umbrella shaped covers over the outdoor seating. We grabbed a table and looked through the menu. They offer plenty of choices. Here is what we ordered with our personal ratings Margherita Pizza rated 3/5 Fish and Chips rated 2/5 Both dishes tasted below average. The pizza was dominated by the tomato sauce and the fish lacked crispiness and tasted a bit bland. The service, however, was very good and the staff were polite. ”
Inside the Experience
Ristorante Pizzeria Principe
Ristorante Pizzeria Principe, nestled along the picturesque canal at Fondamenta S. Mauro in Venice, offers diners a quintessential Italian experience that blends scenic beauty with culinary excellence. This charming spot is not just another eatery; it stands out as a beacon of authentic Venetian flavors, where the art of pizza and pasta-making is celebrated with passion and precision.
The highlight here is undoubtedly the pizza, described by many patrons as among the best in Italy. Crafted without the traditional wood-burning ovens-due to local restrictions-it still manages to deliver a remarkable crust and balanced toppings that captivate even the most discerning palates. The Margherita pizza is a worthy staple, offering a familiar yet vibrant taste of Italy, while seafood lovers will find themselves enchanted by the calamari, praised as the best by many.
Equally commendable is the pasta, each dish prepared with fresh ingredients that capture the depth of Italian cuisine. The pasta courses harmonize beautifully with the surroundings, providing a comforting yet refined dining experience.
The ambience at Principe adds another layer of charm-dining by the canal under colorful umbrella-covered outdoor seating feels like stepping into a Venetian postcard. It is a place to relax and savor every bite while watching the gentle flow of life on the water, making the meal both a culinary and sensory delight.
Service here deserves its own praise. Attentive and warm, the staff ensure your visit is smooth, whether it's managing busy hours or suggesting fair-priced drinks like the refreshing Hugo Spritz, which refreshes on a sunny day during a Burano visit. The lively atmosphere paired with welcoming service makes Principe a go-to spot for locals and travelers alike.
In essence, Ristorante Pizzeria Principe embodies the heart of Venetian dining with its superb pizzas, satisfying pasta dishes, and an unbeatable location. It’s a must-visit for those seeking an authentic taste of Italy wrapped in unforgettable scenery.
