We were there tonight, and from the beginning(soo kind reservation situation in the afternoon) until the end- it was amazing. I have been there years ago a few times, and remembered it always well. We started with Vongole and Capaccio. Both delicious. Later two Steaks with a lot of sides- perfect cooked. Finally desserts- we left happy and with a warm and kind "Bye bye" from the gorgeous Team. Thanks for this great Dinner, Sonja& David

Great food! The staff were also really friendly and the atmosphere was quite nice. I have eaten both the lamb cutlet and the gnocchi and would 100% recommend them, the pizza was also great, the 4 cheese pizza had a nice amount of cheese. The dessert section should not be overlooked either. Great wine selection.

We stumbled upon this gem on our first night and went back to enjoy a Valentine’s meal on our last night in Venice. The staff make this osteria stand out and the food was an added bonus! Wonderful Customer service, great food and wine, and it’s quiet location, just off the beaten path, make this a must while visiting Venice. Enjoy!

I can’t recommend this place enough. One one the best dinner experiences that I had in Venice. It is a secluded place so you can have your meal in peace. During our dinner only a few people passed by. Very lovely decorated with vine climbing on the back walls. Food was extremely delicious. Decided to try out some traditional Venetian sea food. I was not disappointed. Waiter was super friendly and pleasant. Gave us a bottle to test the wine then proceeded to pour our glasses. Prices are fair. Everything is a bit more expensive in Venice but this place justifies it.

This is truly a hidden gem in Venice. We came for lunch on a weekday in January and the restaurant wasn’t overly crowded and felt very intimate. We ordered scampi, scallops, salmon, mushroom sauced filet, and potatoes. Everything was prepared perfectly and cooked to perfection. The wine was delicious and the prices are very reasonable for Venice. And our server, Ziko, was fantastic!!! 10/10 experience!

I’m an American living/working in Tuscany 6 months out of the year. Many friends travel to Venice after leaving me. I now have a new restaurant to recommend WHOLE HEARTEDLY! Absolute perfection!!!!In fact, I think I’d make the train trip just to come eat here again. Excellent food, wait staff and wine! BRAVO!!!!

Came here at recommendation of ChatGPT. Name means hide and seek because it’s hidden in some alleys. Ravioli pesce was nice to try. Bresaola pizza was nice too. Good, but not phenomenal. Service was extremely friendly and attentive. If I’d return I’d get the sea bass—presentation was beautiful and my neighbors said it was great.

Nestled in the serene corners of Castello, Venice, Osteria Ae Sconte offers a culinary retreat that feels both authentic and inviting. This charming osteria masterfully balances traditional Venetian flavors with fresh, vibrant ingredients, making it a standout destination for those seeking genuine Italian cuisine away from the tourist crowds.

The menu here is a celebration of Venice’s rich gastronomic heritage.

The Tagliolini Avec Crab Et Tomates Cerise blends sweet cherry tomatoes and fresh crab meat, creating a light but satisfying dish that sings of the sea. The Risotto Con Scampi E Funghi Porcini is a symphony of creamy textures and earthy aromas, balancing the sweetness of scampi with the deep, forest flavors of porcini mushrooms.

Complementing the seafood-centric dishes are options like the Carpaccio Di Manzo and the generous Seafoods Antipasto Misto, both served with the finesse that Venetian dining is known for. Dessert is not to be missed—with the Perfect Tiramisu standing out as a divine finale, embodying the classic Italian layering of mascarpone, espresso, and cocoa with flawless texture and depth.

Atmosphere and service here elevate every meal. Guests have praised the team’s warmth and attentiveness, creating an intimate dining experience enhanced by tasteful decor and a tranquil, vine-clad setting. The welcoming spirit extends to thoughtful touches like the complimentary limoncello and a curated Prosecco and wine selection, ideal for pairing and savoring slowly.

Osteria Ae Sconte is more than a restaurant; it is a place where Venetian culinary tradition is honored with fresh creativity and heartfelt hospitality. Whether indulging in the Spritz Aperol to start or savoring the rich, flavorful Seiches Noires Au Style Venitien Avec Polenta, every bite here tells a story of the sea, the land, and the people who bring it all to your plate.
