Experts' Choice Award Trattoria al Gatto Nero
What the experts agree on
Historic Burano trattoria (since 1946) celebrated for ultra-fresh daily-caught fish and house-made pastas. Family-run charm with outstanding fritto misto and signature risotto in a welcoming, informal setting worth the lagoon journey.
“Founded way back in 1946, this is an outstanding trattoria, located just a minute’s walk from the busy Via Galuppi, opposite the Pescheria.”
