Duck into Osteria Alla Staffa, a snug wood-lined tavern a short walk from San Marco. Twirl a forkful of cuttlefish ink spaghetti and sample Venetian seafood and meat plates in a family-run atmosphere.
Full description
Osteria Alla Staffa is a compact, wood-lined tavern with the feel of a traditional family-run place, serving Venetian-style pasta, meat and seafood plates plus desserts. Reviewers repeatedly highlight the cuttlefish ink pasta, spaghetti al nero di seppia, and some rank their meal here as the best of their Venice trip.
It sits roughly twelve minutes from San Marco yet feels far less touristy, with fair prices and friendly staff. Opening hours cover a long lunch and a late dinner, so it is flexible to plan around.
It is a good choice for couples wanting a small, authentic room.

Reviews
The spaghetti al nero di seppia is very delicious. It’s a small tavern vibe restaurant, 12 minutes away from the San Marco. Not very touristy, the price is fair and the staff is nice.
