During our recent ski trip to Italy, we realized a week ahead that we'll be in Venice for Valentines day! That's a pretty awesome realization, but we also didn't have reservation and didn't know where to go. Again, a nice problem to have. Since my partner is not a huge fan of seafood, we found Bitta as a top option. We called and were lucky enough to find a reservation later in the evening. Upon arrival, the woman was on the phone with someone making a reservation in April! Which was a pretty assuring sign that it's going to be a good night :) We were seated promptly and given menus. There were so many good options, but we decided to go with the beef tarare, ragu Bolognese and the duck. And a bottle of wine for good luck! Overall, the food was incredible. After a long day of travel, we inevitably are every bite/too much, but NO regrets. The ambiance is super cozy and homey, the service is warm and the food is excellent!
Authentic, fresh, delectable Venetian dishes. The panna cotta is out of this world!! Small, exclusive dining atmosphere so reservations are a must.
La Bitta was one of our better meals in Venice. The space is modern rustic and cozy. Their spritz were lightly effervescent and perfect for a mild buzz. The food is great and comforting. The carpaccio comes on a bed of salad to balance out the heaviness of the meat and the tagliatelle was cooked on the softer side of al dente (which is perfect). The dessert was also fantastic and I highly recommend their tiramisu. CASH ONLY
Very cozy spot for dinner. They have a back patio and some indoor seating. The back patio was full of flowers. Very pretty. It was a bit buggy and they had some citronella candles burning. Still worth the outdoor seating. I asked for a glass of wine and they brought out the bottle and said 'drink what you want and we will measure what's gone'. Interesting way to do it. I drank two nice glasses and it was 8eu. For dinner we had asparagus covered in a Parmesan cheese sauce. I wish the asparagus would have been a bit more crispier but the cheese sauce was very good. Next we split gnocchi which had a tomato sauce. It was very good. It was nice to split so it wasn't too much. Finally we ended with a beef dish. The beef was cut thin and cooked to our liking. It came with a variety of veggies. We split that as well. The menu is hand written and comes on a small easel at your table. I'm assuming it changes often depending on season and availability. It makes it fun to go back and visit when you can try so many different dishes. Service was friendly and attentive. Very nice visit.
Food was outstanding as was the service & the wine list. Only caveat is the menu is short & changes according to what is in season (commendable) so check ahead if you're picky. It's also very quiet & small, my companion thought conversations carry across the small dining room.
Always the best Deborah is just fantastic and sweet A must go A perfect evening with our friends Renee and Jay
One of the BEST meals I've had in Italy! I've been to Roma, Firenze, Sienna and Pisa on this trip and I have had A LOT of amazing food but La Bitta was pretty much my top place!)The service was fantastic, the waitress found out about our dietary restriction and went out of her way to make sure we knew all the ingredients for every dish. And the food was out of this world amazing(have I said amazing enough). Fresh ingredients which you can tell with every bite. My parents and I were scraping the plates! I forgot to take a pic of the gnocchi w/ artichoke and smoked ricotta but that was, you guessed it ah-maz-ing! We were so full from dinner but knew we had to have dessert! The food coma was totally worth it! La Bitta I definitely will not forget you! Ciao!
This was one of my favorites to have dinner at while traveling in Italy. Everything was great including the house red. You MUST get dessert, the panna cotta is heavenly!
Fabulous, in line with the other reviews. Every dish we had was outstanding: the beef carpaccio, the prosciutto and melon, the liver Venetian-style, the pork, the gnocchi. Try the cheese plate, and remember to bring cash, as they don't take plastic. Note to Allison H.'s review from a couple of days ago: they were just closed for summer vacation. They re-opened tonight (July 25th).
