Tucked into a quiet corner of Dorsoduro, a short walk from the Frari, Dona Onesta is the Venice you hope to find. The terrace tables sit right over the canal — only a handful of them, worth booking well ahead. The kitchen leans on the day's catch: sarde in saor, a seafood risotto heavy with clams and mussels, pasta that tastes like someone's grandmother is still checking. Warm, unhurried service, a well-chosen wine list, and tiramisu worth the extra course.

We visited back in July and were very happy with the service. The waiters were really really kind and helpful and the food was really good. The atmosphere was amazing. Would 100% recommend.

Tuvimos una cena muy agradable. La comida exquisita y el servicio de 10. Algo a tener en cuenta es que la terraza es pequeña.

Najlepsza carbonara jak w życiu jadłam. Trafiło nam się miejsce na balkonie, tuż przy kanale. Atmosfera nie do podrobienia, przemili kelnerzy. Jeśli chcesz poczuć prawdziwy wenecki klimat to przyjdź tutaj. 💝
