Very small, cosy restaurant!

There are only a few tables, you order at the counter and the food is brought to your table. The dishes change daily and vegan dishes are labelled as such. We had a strudel with chinoa and broccoli. The restaurant used to be completely vegetarian and is no longer so after a change of ownership. However, there is always at least one vegan dish and a vegan dessert. It's not cheap!

No longer vegetarian!

Visited this place today and saw chicken on the plate of a guest. I was confused and asked the waiter if they had any vegan food and they had just one dish (which was not even marked on the menu). We decided to leave

Piatti originali e gustosi

Sapori del Mediterraneo vicino e lontano. Piatti noti ma anche insoliti. Ambiente estroso ed accogliente. Prezzi a mio avviso eccessivi per le porzioni.

Pros: Cucina casalinga, genuina e gustosa

Cons: Caro

Tasty food, nice atmosphere

Me and my family had a lively dinner with very tasty food. The stuff was very friendly and the atmosphere cozy. But it was also a little pricey… we paid 100 Euro for two adults and two kids. The desserts were tasty and made us feel full at the end.

Not bad

The place has gone vegetarian since May 2022.
About half of the menu is vegan, the rest is vegetarian.
During the winter they serve "cicchetti", typical Venetian small tapas like bites . During the summer months they serve standard portions.
We really liked the mixed starter, very tasty.
My wife's lentil soup was nice, but my moussaka was pretty bland.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Friendly staff, Nice ambiance

Cons: Service is very slow, Portions a bit small for the price

Would recommend

First time in a bacaro and we loved it! We started our dinner with hummus, white polenta, veggies and a salad. The dish had a lot of flavour! For main we both chose the vegan moussaka, which was stuffed with delicious eggplant. For dessert, we shared the vegan chocolate cheesecake. One was more then enough, because it was heavy but for sure was delicious. All the food is cooked with love and the owners are very friendly people. If you are in Arco, we would recommend this lovely place!

Pros: Very kind owners , Only vegan/vegetarian dishes , Delicious food

Cons: Not a lot vegan options , No large (1 liter) bottles of water

Very tasty, great+cosy astmosphere

The place is very italien. The owner is from venice. As we understood the place is fully vegetarian/vegan. They have a rather small but delicious menu, ranging from starters to mains to deserts.
Prizes go up to a maximum of 14€ for a mains course.

Pros: Fully vegetarian and vegan, Very tasty food, Great hosts

Cons: Portion size could be slightly bigger

Disappointed

The sign on the street says in big letters Venetian Vegan. But when we got to the place it had 3 dishes that were vegan and the rest was fish and meat. The portions were very small and bland. After paying we went out to another place to eat because every single one of us was still hungry.

You should STOP ordering tapas instead dishes and then write that portions are tiny!
I've eat 3 times this month, no tiny portions. Try vegan moussaka and THEN tell.
You should be ashamed.

Did I write that I ordered tappas??? Nope. We ordered main dishes and portions were small, food was not tasty!

Usper

Bellissima piccola osteria, ambiente accogliente ed elegante anche se informale e quindi si può stare tranquilli come a casa.
Piatti SANI senza porcherie, tanto veg e vegetariano con a una meravigliosa coppia che la gestisce. La chef è di mano delicatissima eppure i piatti sono colorati e saporiti. Super consigliato l'hummus di ceci!

Pros: Excellent food, Bel posto, In centro

Bella scoperta

Locale piccolo ma accogliente con alcune opzioni vegane nel menu.
La moussaka veg con ragù di soia bio e ceci era davvero squisita.

un piccolo bistrot curato e amorevole, adorabile il piatto di ceci in crema vegan al curry e la zuppa di cap choi. Ambiente giovane ma grande personalità.

Nice, cosy and friendly

Nice place in the heart of the city of Arco. Very cosy, full of history - don't miss to ask to the owners about their charming story of Venice.
Is a place simply full of positive vibs-reccomanded!
Unfortunately, is very tiny and so is really necessary reserve.

Pros: Excellent food, Big hearted owners, very friendly

Cons: Reservation necessary , Always pretty full
