A Hungry Explorer in Shkodër – Bites & Sights #3

Fast Facts:
Restaurant Name: Trattoria Venezia, Shkodër, Albania
Ambiance: Warm and perfect for a relaxed night out
Staff Service: Super friendly and welcoming
Menu: Italian-focused, the waiter was kind to help so I did not have to use Google Lens here.
Price: Worth every 1860 Lek (about 18 Euros for three different dishes and drinks)
Taste: 10/10 – Left me happily stuffed!
Would I return? Absolutely! And on an empty stomach next time too.

If you have ever wandered Shkodër at night, you will know how magical it looks under the glow of the city lights.

Of course, after a bit of exploring, hunger struck again. But where to eat? Google reviews in this region can be hit or miss, so I trusted a different approach—asking a local.

I spotted a guy unlocking his bicycle (riding bikes is a thing in Shkodër, and I love that about the city), and I figured, why not? He mentioned a new place that had just opened and had been getting great word-of-mouth reviews. Enter Trattoria Venezia.

Would I go back? Oh yes! I would, and you should too if you are in Shkodër.
