Dal Nono Colussi

Friendly service, great coffee (one of my favorite from today in Venice). Really tasty. I recommend!

We made a special trek over to this part of Venice to visit this place. It has been run by multiple generations in one family. It is so endearing to watch nono making the donuts. Speaking of the donuts, some of the best we have ever tasted. A perfect combination of crispy outside and soft and doughy inside. Worth the visit. Plus, you can spend time in a less populated neighborhood of Venice.

We tried their fugassa, Bussola buranello, and classic krapfen, all really nice! The bakery smells incredible when walked in, owner very friendly!

Really nice bakery, worth a trot. Happened upon this shop after eating across the street. I forget the names of the three items we purchased but all were delicious and cheaper than they could get away with. They have a donut-shaped regional pastry that was really great and happened to be vegan. My very selective vegan partner loved it. We wish we bought more of that and would welcome another vegan item or two.

Wonderful pasticceria in Dorsoduro - lovely coffee and pastries as well as homemade jams etc. Very friendly. The fritelli with zabaglione we had during the carnevale were the best things we ate in Venice during our trip.

According to my daughter, the second best cookie she’s ever had. The cappuccino was also some of the best coffee we have had in Venice or in recent memory, and we are big coffee fans.

Smaller pastry shop with less diverse of a selection as the other shops. However, they make up for this with their dedication to quality. They are family owned and operated. It's not as busy as tonolo but it is a bit better in my opinion. Definitely worth paying a visit if you're looking for authentic venetian pastries.

Dal Nono Colussi reminds me of the marvel of Venice as one wanders through its calle. One morning as I was walking, I passed their botega (boutique) as they were filling their famous Crapfen with their homemade cream. I saw a line of people inside and decided to stop by to see what others were waiting in line for. Crapfen are lightly fried dough sliced in the middle to place cream inside. I could taste the "madre lievito" (mother yeast) the Colussi's are so proud of using for decades. It was absolutely delicious, not too sweet and very, very fresh. The other pastries they offer, like their fritelle (which are only available around Carnevale), are equally delicious and have won the hearts, and tastebuds, of Venetians. They also have a wide range of cookies and mini-cakes the size of muffins - some of which are even made gluten-free. Perhaps they are known best for their fugassa (Venetian sweet focaccia, traditionally eaten Easter dinner, but found year round), which are nearly impossible to get without going in the morning before they're all gone or reserving one in advance. Dal Nono Colussi is a three generation, family owned business. I was so lucky to pass by them one day and see the delicious baked goods they make and am so thankful I stepped inside their botega. As I've gotten to know them (Nono, "grandfather" who started the pasticceria over 50 years ago, Linda, his daughter, and Marina, his granddaughter who has decided to continue the family business), I'm continuously impressed by their kindness and continuous hard work waking up at 5am to start working and finally closing at 7pm. Their dedication shows how much love and pride they have in what they do and is characteristic of the few remaining artisans that Venice is so proud, and fortunate, to still have.

The ladies here make the most wonderful pastries. While being utterly sweet and kind. A delight.

Try the cream puff here. It is amazing! Very reasonably priced. They seem to serve coffee too but didn't get a chance to try it.
