Osteria Giorgione da MASA in Metropolitan City of Venice

"Had a Variation of Chef’s Cicchetti and Udon. Plates came out fast after a couple of forgettable bocconcino (amuse bouche). Loved the fresh shrimps but all else, mehhh. I go to Japan every year and food here just not up to standards."

"Food was very good. Japanese cuisine make sense for the abundance of fresh fish available in Venice, but the meal was well executed, and felt very special. Presentation was gorgeous and the flavors were homey and comforting, but refined. The chef’s menu came with about 18 dishes, most were a little bite, but also included more substantial plates. Everything was good, I ate all of it. For around €50 it was a great experience. Small, but interesting selection of sake. The staff was very kind and super knowledgeable about what they were putting on the table."

"Important to say: this is not a Japanese restaurant. It is a Japanese and Venetian fusion, and it is absolutely phenomenal. Service was immaculate from the moment we were seated. Menu explained in full detail. Food was incredible. Duck ragu onigiri, miso soup (best I’ve ever had), amberjack cheek, and ramen. Everything was unique in its own glorious way. 10/10 would come back here anytime."

"Wonderful Japanese Italian fusion. Staff were friendly, welcoming and were attentive to our dietary needs. The menus makes all allergens very clear. The staff speak English well which helps. The room is smaller and fills quickly with lively conversation sometimes on the louder side however the atmosphere is friendly. There is extensive wines available, beers however non alcoholic drinks are limited. Coke was the only soft drink available. We were offered a tasty amuseboosh to get the meal started. Love the cross over of Japanese and Italian. The eel was really tasty, my partner loved the gyoza. I can definitely recommend this restaurant."

"This place is such a gem, such a treat. Japanese cooking with an occasional Venetian twist. Service is super nice, positive and warm; meals are balanced, yet surprising. Wine selection is undoubtedly great. So good I can't wait to be back. Best of luck, and please - never change the way to approach cooking!"

"We didn’t have a reservation for lunch, so didn’t expect that we could stay. Yet after some discussion we were seated. And what a joy. Food was exquisite, so was the service of the lovely lady waiter. Best Japanese food o had outside of Japan. But it’s also fusion. Just wow"

"The food and experience here was AMAZING! After too many days of pure venetian cuisine, this Japanese-Venetian fusion was the perfect breath of fresh air during our vacation. I highly recommend the chef tasting menu, the flavour combinations were mind-blowing and service flowed so smoothly."

"The food and the service here were incredible. The waiters really go above and beyond to provide quality service. The waitress recommended me dishes for someone who isn’t a big fan of fish - and I was pleasantly surprised. Would recommend making a reservation before going."
