Diner notes
5 out of 5
Our favourite meal in Venice and one of the best meals of the trip! We had the fish ravioli and the fish of the day which was amberjack with pumpkin puree. Both dishes were so good that we ended up ordering a 3rd dish (squid ink cuttlefish spaghetti) which was also pretty good, but many not as good as the others. The fish ravioli was so fresh and came with a rich emulsified olive oil sauce. This was probably the best dish. The amberjack was cooked perfectly with a nice crispy skin. However, the accompanying pumpkin puree stole the show - I'm not sure what else was in there aside from pumpkin, but I really want that recipe. It was surreal and paired with the fish so well. Thank you for the great meal!

Amazing place ! The view on Venice and the tables by the sea are really beautiful. Service is impeccable with smiling and funny waiters. And the food is really impressive: tasty and original, from the starters to the dolci ! Best sardine pasta i’ve had. Thank you for this experience !

La Palanca, Giudecca, sits by its namesake vaporetto stop with views across the canal. A daytime trattoria and evening cicchetti bar, it’s beloved by locals for its straightforward cooking and fair prices, though it’s had its share of international press. I settled under the wooden beams for a final fish lunch and trusted the barman’s choice: grilled tuna, crusted in toasted sesame and drizzled with balsamic. Nutty, savoury, sharp-sweet – simple, deftly timed, and perfectly judged. Light, unfussy Venetian cooking at its best, with views to match. 8.5/10.
