Great restaurant in Burano. Shrimp risotto and calamari were both great. Really enjoyed the calamari as it was a perfect amount of breading and had great flavor w lots of meaty pieces.
Came for Lunch on a Sunday and no wait to sit outside (inside was pretty empty). Outside service could use another waiter as I could tell the two working there were very busy.

A charming, classic restaurant with a refined, old-world atmosphere — walls adorned with vintage photographs and paintings, waiters serving with true gentlemanly grace. The menu offered a wide selection of traditional dishes and wines. The risotto, though a bit mild in flavour, was cooked to perfection, while the fish was simply outstanding.

Da Romano is more than a restaurant: it’s a Burano institution. Four generations of the Barbaro family have run it since Romano turned his bottega into a trattoria around 1920. The walls are crowded with paintings, a legacy of the artists who dined here from the 1930s onwards. The food lives up to the history: a wood-grilled plate of sea bass, bream, monkfish and prawn (8.5/10); a briny-fresh frittura mista of Adriatic fish and vegetables (8/10); and the signature risotto al nero di seppie – deep, poised, umami-rich (8.5/10). Tiramisu was lighter, coffee-shy (7/10). Bussolai biscuits, meringue cake and a rare santonego grappa closed the meal – rooted in Burano, straight from the lagoon.

We took a water bus over to the island of Burano to eat at a local restaurant that has been in the family for 4 generations, since 1920. We heard about it from Anothony Bourdain, where he went nuts over their seafood risotto, which has been made the exact same way since they opened, passing the recipe down the family line. When they first opened they just served fishermen and lace makers, but now the island is popular with tourists.
On the walls of the restaurant were many famous people who had eaten there, including Robert De Niro, Keith Richards, Charlie Chaplin, Sylvester Stallone, Jane Fonda, and a very long list of other famous people.
The risotto was pretty good but my favorite part was the lemon cake with meringue, it was without a doubt one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. It might inspire me to make more meringues. The sea bass was good but expensive.
If you’re staying in Venice a few days then you should get the multi day boat pass, it’s a lot easier and more economical.

A great place in the heart of Burano. The trattoria is big but busy, we had to wait on arrival to get a table but it was worth it. Anyone can find a place here, there is a terrace, a stylish and a family-friendly section. The seafood and the artichoke was amazing. Prices are high, but so is the quality. Professional service, friendly staff. Recommended.

Have been wanting to eat at this restaurant since I saw Bourdain eat here on the Venice episode of no reservations. It doesn’t happen often, but the restaurant did not only meet my expectations, but it surpassed them. Tucked away in this beautiful island you will have without a doubt one of the best meals to be had in Venice. Emailed ahead of time for a reservation, take in the island and then sit down and enjoy your meal in an incredible restaurant. My only regret is not trying their fried seafood platter!

Excellent food and service. Stopped off for the famous risotto and it didn’t disappoint. Quite simple, but a lesson in simple food done well!
Also had octopus to start, probably one of the best I have eaten, beautifully cooked.
Service was top notch, and terrace was lovely for people watching in the sun over lunch.
Arrive early or book to get a decent seat, as internal seating is a bit disappointing and misses a key part of the experience!

Unexpectedly, I need to find a restaurant for lunch in Burano. Da Romano is notable on Google Map, so I decided to go.
A gentle old man welcome my family. Most of servers are gentle old men, and it seems they have been here for a long time. Looks great and I can feel their history and philosophy.
All foods are good. Especially, Risotto Romano is awesome (the gentle man explained one of fish cannot be caught at this season, so it is replaced. Risotto is minimum order 2 portion). Squid ink spaghetti and seafood linguine are so nice. Pomodoro spaghetti help to meet a balance of vegetable.
House wines are also better than average. White wine is more impressive.
If you visit Burano, Da Romano can be a good choice.
