  So.... we wondered the streets of Venice. Got lost and look up and see a name that I saw on Yelp when I researched the city.  We were hungry  and decided to give it a go. The place was busy but the prices were great. So we waited. The place is a lot bigger than it looks so the wait was not that long.  
  
  Staff is great and attentive for how busy it was.And it was Christmas!!! It is cramped. So be prepared to squeeze in your chair..... which gets hard after carbo loading!!
  
  The food is more Neapolitan, pizza and pastas. We ordered a carbonara, bolognese and pizza for the table. We did share. The pizza was my SO favorite pizza for the trip for me it could have been in the oven a minute longer. It was still good. No tomatoes so a little bummed.. but we probably ordered wrong. The bolognese was my favorite and nice and hearty for a brisk Venice day. The carbonara was ok nothing amazing but still good.
  
  Bottom line. If this was the first restaurant in Italy we would have been blown away. It was legit for a gal from the states but for the rest of Italy...  others were better.

  After the number one Yelp spot was closed, we headed over to number two! The place was packed and everyone was enjoying their food so we took a table.
  
  We ordered the bruschetta, seafood linguine, pasta alla carbonara, 1/2 carafe of white wine, and a still water. The pasta was good but not the best we've had. The wine was fantastic and the service was just okay due to the number of people at the restaurant.
  
  Overall if you want a quick meal in a convenient location Rossopomodoro is for you!

  Venice, Italy
  
  It's funny how all of the tourists were flocking to this place as if they were searching for a treasure and found it.
  
  3.5 stars
  
  The food was good, but not great.  Also found out this is a chain owned by a famous Italian athlete, and there are many locations, this is not a small independent as I originally thought.  
  
  Regretted not visited the restaurant Marco Polo that our local contact had suggested as her favorite pizza family owned spot in Venice.  I will admit curiosity got the best of me.
  
  The salad was decent, looks better on pic, pizza crust too salty and soggy in the middle, too much wood taste from the type of wood they used for the fire.
  
  Liked not loved.  Too many other places to try, would not return.

  I think I would have been more inclined to rate this restaurant higher if I hadn't read so many good reviews.
  
  Our hotel was a few minute walk, near San Marco. It was easy to find, on the corner of two streets.
  
  We were sat down really quickly around 4:30 Pm for dinner.
  
  We ordered three pizzas for the table with water and drinks. We had to ask a handful of times for the water to come, and the drinks took about as long as took for the pizza to come out.
  
  The pizza was good, but nothing special. There was a decent amount of pizza options, the server was attentive, even if the food and drinks took a little while. Everything was just ok, but definitely on the more affordable side of options in Venice.

  A friend recently returned from Italy and said, "you gotta go to Rossopomodoro for pizza."  Yeah, yeah.  But when a chef we befriended in Venice made the same suggestion, we took notice.
  
  I hadn't had any bad pizza in Italy, but theirs is a notch above.  The three of us shared two pies and a salad.  Our order was spot on:
  -- smoked provola di Agerola cheese topped with mortadella ham, crumbled pistachios and lemon zest
  -- five cheeses: mozzarella, buffalo Caciottia, Gorgonzola, fromage de brebis pecorino, and -- I can't read my writing! -- a fifth cheese
  -- Coccode -- a salad of lettuce, radicchio, avocado, crispy pancetta, olives, shaved Grana cheese all topped with Caesar dressing.  This was by far the best salad on our trip.
  
  The restaurant is popular and fills up.  We made a reservation, which I don't know if they honored or we just showed up when a table was available.
  
  Prices commensurate with every other pizza place in Venice and service was friendly and efficient.
