Ombra, meaning a small glass of local wine, is a welcome new Italian bacari (backstreet bar) serving simple rustic Venetian fare, local wines and craft beers, where locals meet to celebrate the joy of food and wine.

Located where there was once Peaches and Cream, Ombra has restored the building to its former glory, paying loving tribute to the 1920s, when the building was first built.

This is my first time dabbling in Venetian cuisine and sweet mother of neptune it won't be my last. From the eggplant crustino's to the mozarella and pistachio pizzetes and kumara gnocchi everything is a scumptious and unique taste explosion. The service is excellent, the place looks awesome and they have Garage Project on tap. Need I say more?

Ombra is always super busy, which is nothing if not an indication of how good the food is. Venetian style tapas, a highly curated selection of imported liqueurs and wines, and Garage Project beer (Yum!). The noisy, bustling atmosphere is not for the faint hearted, but the Kumara gnocchi makes it worth it. The rich feeling, wood and linen decorated interior gives Ombra an authentic feel, and the food compliments this perfectly.

interesting, unique and delicious food in a cool atmosphere with great service. If you go here try the mozzarella and pistachio pizette it will change your life. Also they have Garage Project on tap which is is a cherry on top. Ombra is the bomb bruh.

Looove Ombra. Such delicious Italian tapas and beautiful interior! Love!

Serving mini pizzas (pizzette) these guys still make the list because they’re probably the right size (if it’s my waist talking) and delicious flavour combonations.

Great food! Fun atmosphere and good service. A gem.

delicious food, perfect for date night!

That they could never quite get our order right, there was a long and winding evening here with friends telling stories and pontificating and working out just how the world should be going. One of those times where everything just clicks.

Cubed polenta fries! Cubed polenta fries! Okay, I’m going to calm down now, but if you’ve had deep fried polenta cubes or slices, you know why I’m getting worked up - and if you haven’t, please try them out - but not too often!

The only thing better than the food at Ombra is how good it looks to be seen going there. It’s the cheap side of classy and the classy side of cheap. And the sharing of the food allows many opportunities for eyes to meet during conversations of cultured things like Kieslovski’s DEKALOG or which one out of FRIENDS you are.
