  What a wonderful hidden gem. We found this establishment through searches of yelp. After indulging on plenty of pasta we were looking for a meaty restaurant. We are so happy we found it, food, ambiance and cost are all 5 stars! You can tell this restaurant is highly visited by locals which means the cost is veryyyy low in comparison to other restaurants with "come in, pasta served here" at the entrance - which by the way, do avoid.
  
  I recommend this restaurant to anyone who is visiting Venice. You will not be disappointed.
  Oh, and while you wait you can stand outside the restaurant or hop on their boat and enjoy wine with the locals! Ha !

  Craving steak in a city known for seafood? Look no further! Al Timon is definitely a go-to spot to fulfill your steak cravings.
  
  Not knowing too many places in Venice to eat, I went online to look up some of the highly recommended restaurants in the area. Once I saw photos of Al Timon, I knew we had to go.
  
  Pro tip: Make a reservation on their website.
  
  The restaurant isn't too big, so it can get packed really quick. We made a reservation online and luckily we did, because when we got there, there were no tables available.
  
  Once we were seated, I knew exactly what I wanted: The fiorentina steak! We were going to order another dish, but our waiter told us that the steak was enough for the both of us. I was skeptical, but I went with it, and it was a good thing I did. When the steak came out, it was on a long platter served with potatoes and vegetables! Oh, and the steak was HUGE. Definitely a shareable dish.
  
  The steak was super tender and well seasoned. The vegetables were paired perfectly with the steak (spinach, eggplant, peppers, broccoli, pineapple), and the potatoes were fried, which made them basically taste like fries. I love fries. I love this steak.
  
  Al Timon is definitely a must in Venice for some good fiorentina steak!

  Wonderful all the way around. I didn't have high expectations not going to lie - mainly because it was packed and I saw a few other reviews referring to how hard it is to get a table. But the bearded guy didn't disappoint and he did come out after 20 min when we put our name down with him. Service was great and they really worked as a team.
  
  We were advised to grab a drink and we did some with some of those sandwiches too. The red wine and Pinot grigio they recommended were on point and really whet the palate.
  
  Apps = bread, burrata...with a balsamic reduction and fresh tomatoes. And for entrees, my fiancee got the gnocchetti and meat sauce and myself the lasagna. My God, both see fantastic and melted in your mouth. Super fresh and great presentation as well.
  
  Highly recommend!! Hope to come here again in the future when we return as well.

  Incredible. We picked out some things at one euro each, got glasses of prosecco sat by the canals and enjoyed. This place is famous for their meat and steak but what we had was still SO good. You can get most things on pieces of bread or polenta, just get one of each alternating on bread and polenta. Service was super friendly and efficient. The prosecco was nice dry and cold, the perfect temp. Prices were very affordable and to just come out, sit by the canal with your food and wine, it's a dream come true.
  I specifically recommend trying a white fluffy whipped fish thing on polenta, not sure what it's called but my B&B host who's a multi generation true Venetian was impressed we tried it. It was unusual but good!

  This place was incredibly. We only found it because our AirBnb was right around the corner and every evening we saw it packed with locals. After going we understood why it was so popular. One, their food was amazing. They had great little crostinis to munch on while waiting for your food or just as a light dinner. They also had a nice wine collection.
  What's really cool is that they have a small "boat" on the canal in front of their restaurant and you can take your wine and apps and go sit on the canal.
  
  Besides the apps, they also had a lots of options off their dine in menu. Their bone-in steak (in the picture) was probably the most expensive thing I order while on my vacation but it was so worth it. Cooked and seasoned to perfection. The two of us had a hard time finishing it!
