Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

At lunch we were welcomed with great simplicity and courtesy in a truly peculiar atmosphere. We immediately felt at ease. The music in the background is pleasant as the volume is kept low so as not to disturb or overwhelm the conversation. The murals in the small and intimate room, faithfully representing a glimpse of the Venetian "Biri" district of Cannaregio, are the work of the artist and set designer Rossella, a relative of the owner of the restaurant, Giuseppe, who presented himself at the table (at our request for compliment us) satisfying our hunger for food (really excellent) and curiosity about his personal history and the name of the place. We thank him very much for the time he dedicated to us. The availability, the courtesy, the kindness, the impeccable service from everyone, without exception, the real smiles, the passion and enthusiasm that shines through in every course, the variety of choice on the deliciously handwritten menu, the selected labels of wines, the proposals of beers and drinks, the transparency regarding the use and preparation of the fresh ingredients of each dish on and off the menu (from appetizers to tasty desserts), the prices indicated on the menu and verbally, in line with the quantity and quality served on the table convinced us to return more than willingly. We are fish connoisseurs and Biri 5497 is a restaurant that truly deserves it.

This is the restaurant where you have to go to Mestre to taste fish specialties, very well prepared and served. We went 3 nights in a row, family atmosphere and warm, very friendly service, charming patterns that made us taste liquorice in addition to the traditional Limoncello. A traditional restaurant where you feel good and would like to have at home.

what can I say, it's business as usual...
you enter and the aroma of the fish dishes captivates you...
very Venetian place...
calla dei biri or parsemolo (parsley).
You are sitting in a Venetian interior..
from tourists?
not from true Venetian purists... like the majority of customers.
simple Venetian cuisine, beautiful products but accompanied with creativity by the chef Pino.
One of the few (real) chefs who personalizes a plate of spaghetti with seafood with the same fresh ingredients in... 7, 8 versions.
cooking pasta pasta, little or moderate salt, spicy based on pepper or chili pepper and asks if a lot or little, garlic or onion.
Parsemolo yes or no...
Cherry tomatoes or onion...
But where do you find a chef like that today...
not even at Masterchef or Michelin starred restaurants... where you order, eat and shut up!
But he, the chef, comes by at the end of the evening and asks you how it went!!!
not even mom was like that.
what to say...
top on all fresh products...
Top on wines and top on price.

Drawn by the positive reviews we decided to try this restaurant.
We weren't particularly impressed. The place internally is cute, as in the picture, and clean. The price paid is not high, but in line with what is served.
we had: a polenta with schie, some mussels, a frying, a tris of cod, a tuna in tempura and monkfish cheeks, half of white and 2 bottles of water.
The schie had some oil, but the taste in total was not bad, the frying crispy, not greasy, the mussels very spicy.
Also good tuna, raw at the right point, although we expected a "lighter" tempura we appreciated, we instead sent back the dish entirely with the cheeks (eaten only one), remained VERY chewy. Nobody asked us why (do you want to take home? ninth was the answer)
Total paid 150 euros, in line.
I do not recommend NOT going, but it would also not be the first I would recommend going to if asked for a "high-end" restaurant.

My husband and I had dinner in this restaurant with two dear friends. We have known this place for years and we always return with great pleasure because first of all we eat very well. The fish is fresh and of great quality and the recipes are rich in flavors without hiding those of the raw material. Then here we always feel at ease, the location is wonderful and you seem to be right in a Venice street. The owners Silvy and Pino who now know us are always hospitable... it is not so obvious that the cook reaches the table customers and entertains himself to talk. The menu is described by Silvy so well that you want to try everything. The dishes are presented very well but above all they are sought after and every time there are news in the menu from appetizers to desserts. We always recommend it to those who ask us where to eat fish well. Congratulations to Silvy and Pine who always maintain excellence.

It is a restaurant where you find typical Venetian dishes sometimes with sublime imaginative variations. The chef and his partner intelligently move from absolute professionalism to friendliness and are masters at putting you at ease. However, I return to the product which is top quality. Excellent quality-price relation.

When you enter from Biri 5497 you are greeted with sincere cordiality and sympathy and you immediately feel at ease. The owners and staff are very kind.
Delicious dishes prepared with passion by chef Pino exclusively with top quality materials.
In addition to the main menu there is always something special depending on the season and market.
Traditional Venetian dishes are the first principle and are sometimes enriched with tricks pleasing both the palate and the eye. A recent example is the Tris of Saor where the big peoci (mussels) triumph.
You can not forget the sweets of Silvi: delicious!
In summary: from Biri 5497 you eat very well and you are very well! Word of an old Venetian😉

I had lunch at Biri one Sunday in late June. Colorful atmosphere, friendly staff, rich, beautiful and great tasting dishes.
First-rate seafood and generous portions take you into an out-of-the-ordinary dimension of taste.
Excellent service for punctuality and courtesy.
Adjusted bill for the amount of food on the plates and for the selection of ingredients

Wonderful lunch in a well-kept location that recalls the Venetian streets.
The cuisine celebrates fish and the dishes are carefully prepared and very tasty!
We tried the spaghetti with clams, the trio of gnocchi with cod and fried fish. We were thrilled.
We didn't order dessert, but the staff heard that it was my boyfriend's birthday, and together with the coffee they brought us a "zaleto" with a candle on it. It's these small but big precautions that make the difference, very good!
Excellent value for money. I hope to come back soon!

Rarely do you find high professionalism combined with equally cordial simplicity! It was truly unexpected! You go to a "normal" place by chance or because someone tells you that the food is good... and then you arrive and find a particular place in the dishes... in the wines... in the liqueurs... everything is "special" and excellent. .. but without losing the taste of simplicity! The wonderful people... friendly and nice... a place where we promised ourselves we would return! The price is honest for the excellent fish you eat! We felt at home but pampered! Thanks to all the staff and to Pino and Silvi who also gave us a bit of their history!

The place is reminiscent of Venice, excellent staff and excellent food with generous portions. Chef, in addition to being excellent in the kitchen, he proved to be welcoming and very helpful towards us, like the landlady. If you pass by Mestre you absolutely must try it. Excellent quality/price ratio

Had lunch during the week. Excellent quality menu, even outside the normal standards. Mainly fish specialities. Super friendly owners, they also gave us some great tips for the afternoon visit to Venice. Four people all caught fish and everyone was satisfied.
