Terrazza Danieli

Had a beautiful dinner here! They were perfect with service and food to match. Wine was spot on and an amazing night for culinary heaven.

Cant say enough bad things about this place. The view is great, yes, but thats where it ends. We had some time to kill and heard great things so went up to the terrace for a bite to eat, some drinks and for a great view.
First, there is a heavy cover charge just to sit there, which I am fine with. You pay for a view. We ordered some drinks and we just ordered octopus, which was 46 euros. I love octopus and have it everywhere. By far the WORST I have ever had. Tasted very undercooked and way too chewy. Secondly, the sauce it was in was horrible. Our bill for the appetizer octopus entrée and 2 beers was almost $ 100.
My biggest complaint, however, is the service. After we ate, we went to have a picture taken. We asked one waiter who said he was too busy and could not take a photo. We then asked the host and his response was «did you eat here»? Obviously we ate there, why the hell else would we be there! As if he would only take a picture if we spent money there.
Rude service, bad food and terribly overpriced. After 12 nights in Italy, this was by far our worst outing. Go elsewhere for better food and service.

This is one of the most spectacular dining experiences available. A beautiful location, in the most beautiful city in the world. Fantastic food. Wonderful wine. We met owners of a winery from California sitting next to us and shared tastings of wines with them. Lovely atmosphere.

Very pricey (cover charge added to the price of the meal), but the food was great, and they have the best view of Grand Canal entrance (located at the top of the Hotel Danielli — two buildings away from the Dodge Palace). Be forewarned, portions are on the small side, but the food was fresh and tasty. The wait staff were friendly, and the service was good. Since we paid for the cover charge, we took our time having a leisurely lunch, enjoying wine, food, dessert and view. We watched boats of all sizes come in and out of the Grand Canal, and also saw a cruise ship come by a different canal. I would definitely eat here again if we come back to Venice.

You pay for the view, nothing else (and a great view at that! — but for the view, I might consider giving it a 1). The 16 € per person makes sense but there is no reason that a tiny piece of fish should be 69 € and not very good. For 2 people it was over 240 € for food that was very unmemorable. The waitstaff was also totally disorganized. One of the waiters actually poured water into our wine… Definitely will not be coming back here.

We decided to go eat somewhere that has a great view of the city, and Terrazza Danieli came up top of our lists everywhere we googled.
The restaurant is on the top floor of Venice’s Hotel Danieli. Situated right by the water, it is just steps away from the popular museums, boutiques, and restaurants.
Inside the restaurant, it is just drop down beautiful! With plush seats, luxurious décor, and superb service, it is well worth every penny. We went without reservation, and since it was after peak hours, we were seated right away. We asked to be seated by the windows so we could have a pretty view, and we were given one of the best seats! But, do make reservations beforehand, as reservations are recommended!
The restaurant’s menu consists of á la carte, and tasting menu. In addition, the restaurant offers amazing vegetarian dishes, desserts, and an extensive wine list.
I looked on the restaurant’s online menu, but it seems like my dish isn’t available anymore. I think the most similar one would be their pumpkin cannelloni. At this point into our honeymoon, I was getting kind of tired of having pasta. When I had this dish, I think it made my Western side content. Obviously, it’s still Italian food, so it couldn’t fully satisfy my cravings, but it sufficed. The pasta had a savoury taste that was pretty different from your usual pomodoro (tomato) sauce, cream sauce, and carbonara (egg yolk and meat). I believe the pasta was more vegetable based, with pesto, tomatoes, eggplant and cheese, but oh my, it was very good! I’m not too sure what it was in the pasta that left my Western palate satisfied, but whatever it was, it brought me internal peace, temporarily.
We later realized that this restaurant was recommended by Michelin Guides, a world renown guide featuring the best of the best restaurants around the world. If you’re in the area and want a meal with an amazing view, we definitely recommend this place. Although it comes at a higher price, it would be the perfect place to dine out with your special loved ones on special occasions.

What can you say? Great service and fantastic terrace that is incomparable for an evening sunset glass of vino!

Had dinner here recently with my husband while we were on our honeymoon. This place had the most amazing view and was incredibly romantic. The food was outstanding and our waiter was extremely attentive.
The only bad spot was that they seated some unruly kids right next to us. If I’m paying $$$$ for dinner, I really don’t want to have to listen to your kids whining and then watch them run around the restaurant like maniacs, nearly tripping waiters carrying trays of food. Of course, this is a review of the parents, and not the restaurant. Everything else was superb! I highly recommend for a special occasion.

We were staying at the Danieli and decided to go up for a mid-​afternoon drink on the terrace. This is hands down the best view in Venice! It’s a must see! We decided to have an English Tea, and we made the right choice, the scones were made when fresh and came out warm. My chocolate dessert had a white chocolate truffle on it that was amazing, when I asked the waiter what the filling was in the truffle he ran back to ask the chef and brought me 3 more! We left him a € 10 tip and later discovered they comped part of our afternoon tea on our hotel bill.

Still stunning, still divine, still romantic, still expensive.
After another visit, nothing has changed. So many people give bad reviews based on the sticker shock. Yes it is very expensive. You can hit € 100 per person very easily. Of course people get better prices for haute cuisine elsewhere. But elsewhere doesn’t seat you in the middle of the most beautiful picture postcard imaginable.
My advice… just save up a couple of hundred in your piggy bank and earmark it for Danieli. That way, when the bill comes it won’t ruin what is otherwise the most stunning ambience you’ll ever find in a restaurant. Still a perfect spot to propose or for that extra special occasion. Make sure you reserve for outside, preferably an hour ahead of sunset and the best seats are on the side closest to St Marco Square. Reserve accordingly.

I don’t normally write reviews on Unilocal.But this was the worst dining experience I’ve ever had in my entire life. And cost $ 100+ per person.
First of all. Little footnote. It costs 16 Euros a person JUST TO SIT DOWN. Regardless of if you eat dinner. I came with a party of 4 and we were already $ 100+ in before we even ordered our 9 Euro bottle of water.
Service was awful. 30 minutes after being seated we were still not even asked for our drink order. It seemed like no waiter knew what table they were responsible for… Others in the restaurant that we knew complained about the same thing.
On to food… I ordered the rack of lamb… $ 70+ dish that was cold and mediocre at best.
My sister ordered the shrimp scampi appetizer that was $ 50+ for FOUR SHRIMP AND A SLICED GRAPEFRUIT.
Yes this place has an unbelievable view and is incredibly romantic.
But don’t come here expecting good food, good service, and a fair price.

This roof top restaurant has the MOST gorgeous views. AND the BEST risotto I have ever had anywhere. Impeccable service (what else would you expect at the Danieli?). Gracious, non-​pretentious — we were in jeans, (and good Italian shoes — always wear good shoes in Italy!). ‚-).
Late lunch on a beautiful sunny day & we had the terrace all to ourselves. A most memorable & wonderful experience…

Je n’ai testé que le petit déjeuner et non le restaurant en lui même.
La vue est superbe, vue sur la lagune et vue sur le palais des doges.
Le petit déjeuner était très complet, les serveurs étaient vraiment aux petits soins pour nous.
Seul hic: le prix, bien que normal dans un hotel de ce standing.

Restaurant et hotel renommé.
Un cadre idéal pour déjeuner ou diner en terrasse avec vue unique.
Une bonne cuisine.
Le service n’est pas toujours à la hauteur de l’établissement. J’y suis allé plusieurs fois et un serveur peut tout gacher…

Simply the best place to have breakfast in venice. The view over the lagoon is awesome with all the amazing architecture of venice surrounding you — very expensive but worth it
