Nestled in the charming district of Cannaregio, the University Cafeteria stands out as a hidden gem for both students and visitors alike in Venezia. This delightful cafe, located on the picturesque Calle Beccarie, offers more than just affordable meals; it provides an experience enriched with spectacular views of the lagoon.

The atmosphere here is calm and inviting, making it an ideal spot for a quick lunch break or a cozy place to work while savoring your surroundings. As you step inside, the jubilant chatter of students fills the air, creating a vibrant yet relaxed vibe that encourages lingering over your meal. If you're seeking to escape from the hustle of university life or simply want to enjoy a serene moment amid your travels, this is the place to be.

What patrons rave about the most are the views—yes, they truly are magical! As noted by customer Sahar Baghayeri, the cafeteria provides stunning vistas that transform a typical lunch into a memorable occasion. Imagine dining with the beauty of the Venetian lagoon as your backdrop, all while engaging in conversations with friends or classmates.

Perfect for a midday recharge, the cafe serves affordable drinks too; don’t miss the local favorite of an Aperol Spritz, as suggested by customer Chris Bassi, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring.

Additionally, with amenities like the Eduroam service available, it’s a functional spot for students needing to catch up on work or assignments. As Yuki Takahashi mentions, the reasonable prices and conducive working environment give it a solid reputation among the student body, making it a go-to location at the San Giobbe campus.

Even amidst busy periods, like graduation celebrations, the service remains commendable. The staff at the University Cafeteria are described as friendly and professional—though, as noted in a humorous review by Luca Uliana, one may occasionally be a bit distracted by matters of the heart. This adds a layer of charm and personality to an already welcoming atmosphere.

Overall, the University Cafeteria is not just a place to grab a bite; it’s a part of the vibrant spirit of Venice. It captures the essence of student life while inviting everyone to savor the unique flavors and views this stunning city has to offer.

Che cosa c'è di più bello di un pranzo con una spettacolare veduta sulla laguna? Tutto questo dopo una mattinata stancante in università e con un personale gentile e volenteroso di farti lo sconto per la tua permanenza in Ca' Foscari. Quest'oggi all'ora di pranzo la maggior parte del personale era dedicato alle feste di laurea e si spera che la suddivisione del personale per chi mangia in mensa sia meglio distinto nelle mansioni da chi debba servire alle feste di laurea, aumentando la velocità nel considerare i bisogni di tutti, ma con un po' di pazienza anche io ho potuto giovare dell'attenzione al cibo e ai tanti ingredienti veg e biologici sia nelle insalate che nei panini e nei primi, così come nella frutta di stagione. Il caffè è molto buono e viene servito in un locale Open space che ha una sala ristorante e una caffetteria. Il personale è attentissimo nell'elencare gli allergeni eventualmente presenti nelle preparazioni. Il mio consiglio è quello di gustarsi il pranzo davanti al sublime panorama lagunare, capace di donare calma anche tra il brulicare del centro di Venezia. Ricordo che il porticato esterno ospita anche dei tavolini all'aperto con il tetto coperto, molto utili in tutte le stagioni per una pausa rigenerante.

Ho scoperto questo luogo, oggi per la prima volta dal treno.....posto tranquillo e pulito, dove fra l'altro i Ragazzi dietro al banco sono simpatici e professionali; forse solo uno di Loro è leggermente smemorato, ma sarà dovuto dal fatto che è innamorato. Naturalmente la mia voleva essere una battuta per chi non l'avesse capita

Avoid the hustle and bustle, grab a drink and a cake here instead. €3.50 Aperol spritz.

Good cafeteria on the San Giobbe campus. The price is reasonable. You can also do some work here with a laptop as Eduroam is available, and the views from the upper floor are nice.
