Brandon Shaw Last Updated: February 3, 2023

8 Best Places To Eat And Drink In Giudecca, Venice

Giudecca is an interesting part of town with lots of young people and lots of locals. You will find 5-star hotels and a lot of locals. But what about the food? Since this area is full of tourists where do you eat?

Since nobody likes tourist traps ( myself included) we have asked our local Venetian guides to put together a list of their favorite places when they are in this part of town. We hope it helps you take the guesswork out of your decision and focus on enjoying your vacation. Buon Appetito!

Bar da Monica

the tour guy giudecca venicw

€ | Snacks | Aperitivo

It Italy the aperitivo is super important. On the surface it is just a before dinner drink. What it actually is in Italy is an entire process of meeting up with friends and eating and drinking before you go eating and drinking some more. Anytime is good for an aperitivo, but usually 6 PM is the nomal starting time and then dinner from 8 PM onwards.

If you find yourself in Giudecca then Bar da Monica is the perfect place to enjoy your aperitivo. Many people go with the Aperol spritz which is a classic, but beer and wine are also great options. The bar staff is super friendly and always looking to put a smile on the customer’s face. It is a local spot as well, so don’t be surprised if you find yourself surrounded by a bunch of Venetians!

Address: Fondamenta Croce, 80/81, 30133 Venezia

Hours: 7 AM- 9:30 PM. Always Open

Food and Art Judecca

the tour guy venice food tour

€ | Student Caffeteria | Local Experience

Yes, this is the university caffeteria, so don’t expect to come here for fine dining. If you read the reviews of this place by foreigners you will not be impressed. However the reviews in Italian from Italians are 99% 5 star. Why? Because the Italians understand that it is a university caffeteria and manage their expectations.

The food is no-frills and tasty and above all cheap. You will find plenty of other restaurants on this list that are presented better and have a higher price. If you want to do a local thing, then pop in here for an easy lunch and practice your Italian you have picked up with some locals.

Address: Campo Junghans, 487B, 30133 Venezia

Hours: 7 AM- 2:30 PM, 6 PM- 10:30 PM Always Open

Trattoria Altanella

the tour guy giudecca venice

€€ | Family Owned | Hidden Gem

Traditionally a trattoria is a family owned restaurant in Italy. Over time, many of the classic trattorias have been lost, but there are still some left! Trattoria Altanella has been in the same family for four generations!

If you come here for lunch you will mix with locals more than tourists and for dinner, it is the opposite. Either way, the food is great and has a fair quality to price ratio. The cooking is traditional Venetian which means mostly seafood.

Address: 268, Giudecca, 30133 Venezia

Hours: 12:30 PM- 2:30 PM, 7 PM- 9:30 PM Mondays and Tuesdays closed

Majer

the tour guy giudecca venice

€€ | Modern | Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner

As you are walking around the city of Venice you might see Majer in a few places, but they will only be serving breakfast. At the Majer in Giudecca they have decided to experiment a bit and bring a modern style experiment by offering lunch and dinner at this location.

In almost every restaurant that you will visit in Venice, their specialty will be seafood. Surprisingly when you show up here for dinner, the main courses are almost all meats! From a Waygu ribeye to a Florentine steak, if you are a meat eater they got you covered. Of course, you will also find the catch of the day- this is Venice of course.

Address: Fondamenta Sant’Eufemia, 461, 30135 Venezia

Hours: 7 AM- 10 PM Open Every Day

Ristorante Pizzeria ai Tre Scaini

the tour guy giudecca venice

€€ | Local | Outdoor Seating

Like throughout Italy a pizzeria doesn’t mean that they just make pizza. Here you can enjoy a nice pizza, but they have so much more. Take advantage of the outdoor seating in their courtyard for that al fresco experience.

As for the menu- Forget about looking at the menu. This goes not only for this particular establishment but everywhere in Italy. The waiters know what is fresh and what is best to eat, so always go with their suggestion. They have a wide array of seafood for starters and main course with seafood risottos and also pizza. Enjoy!

Address: Zitelle, Calle Michelangelo, 53c, 30133 Venezia

Hours: 12 PM- 2:30 PM, 6:30 PM- 10PM Tuesdays closed

La Palanca

the tour guy giudecca venice

€€ | Seafront | Hidden gem

These cozy little establishment is close to the vaporetto stop and is literally just opposite Dorsoduro. The staff are super friendly and the quality to price ratio is very good.

Like a few other places where you can stop by for a coffee, an Aperitivo, or a main meal. The main fare is seafood, so make sure you ask them what is fresh on that day to get a delicious surprise.

Address: Fondamenta Sant’Eufemia, 448, 30133 Venezia

Hours: 7 AM- 10PM Sundays closed

Oro Restaurant

the tour guy giudecca venice

€€€€ | Michelin Star | Fine Dining

The Oro restaurant ( which means Gold in Italian) is located inside the famous Cipriani hotel. The hotel is extravagant and so is the restaurant. Sometimes you have to splurge when you are on vacation. This is definitely a place where you will splurge with a tasting menu running around 300€ a person.

The menu consists mainly of seafood, but for those who prefer meat, there are plenty of options as well. The views are beautiful and the ambiance is chic. Even if a super expensive meal is not on your agenda, you should definitely stop by and check out the premises and maybe have a drink. It is worth it.

Address: Giudecca, 10, 30133 Venezia

Hours: 7:30 PM- 9:30PM Mondays and Tuesdays closed

Bacaromi

the tour guy giudecca venice

€€€€ | Hotel Restaurant | Beautiful Terrace Seating

As with ORO above with Cipriani, this restaurant is connected to the Hilton which is on the other side of the island. The idea is a set up like a typical Baccaro ( typical Venetian bar) but with a contemporary style. As you can imagine, the price will be higher than at a typical Baccaro as well!

The menu is mostly seafood and the service is impeccable. When dining here make sure you sit outside with a view to the sunset. There is nothing more epic ( or romantic) than looking at a sunset over the lagoon in Venice enjoying a great meal.

Address: Giudecca, 810, 30133 Venezia

Hours: 7:30 PM- 10:30PM Always open
