We had a marvelous dinner here our last night in Venice! My husband and I stopped and were lucky to get in without a reservation. The restaurant quickly filled completely after a short time. We had the thinly sliced beef with apricots for an aperatif and the beef was so tender you could cut it with a fork. They had an extensive wine list and we had a bottle of Teroldego which we had sampled at the Rioja winery in Romero and it was perfect. My husband had the lamb - tender and perfectly done. I had the potato and zucchini filled pasta which was delicious and the plate presentations for everything were beautiful. We had their tiramisu for dessert which was also delicious. It was an outstanding and memorable meal for our last night in Venice.

My favorite meal in Venice. We ordered several dishes, and all were cooked and seasoned to perfection. The wine list is exceptional and the staff are knowledgeable to help you choose the perfect wine pairing if you feel overwhelmed. We visited in April, so the evenings were a little chilly, but the heated lamps made it so comfortable to sit outside and still enjoy the canal and people watching Venice has to offer.

WOW, lucky for us the restaurant we wanted to go to was closed for our duration of our travels so we sat here for some lunch grub and how beautiful that they have some water ways right behind you. Decor is super cute and def gives off that Venice vibes! Not to mention this was actually a very highly rated restaurant according to google with a lux dinning experience. I ordered the octopus dish and my cousin ordered some seared fish dish. We ordered an appetizer to share as well before out entrée dishes arrived. We both finished our dish and appetizer. The seafood we both had was super fresh and actually quite filling. I was worried I was still going to be hungry after eating. The service is A1! he speaks fluent English and was very helpful answering our questions before we ordered. They def have some top notch quality food and service to accompany you!

This restaurant is wonderful! The wine selection, service, and food options were all excellent. We ordered a scallops appetizer, 2 pasta dishes, and dessert. Next time we'll order the tasting menu, it looked awesome. Overall, we had a lovely evening in a beautiful canal-adjacent setting.

Great plating and amazing service. Found this place while staying around the corner. They nicely squeezed us in at 7:30 without a reservation. We both ordered the 6 course tasting menu. While the plating was exquisite and everything tasted fresh, one plate had shells and the other a small bone. Also none of the flavors blew us away. The spaghetti with clams was our favorite and the scallops wrapped in speck were also delicious. It just seemed pricey for a meal we didn't love. I found their tiramisu to be one of the best I've tried though :) The service was great - friendly, lively, and attentive. My water glass was never empty and they constantly checked in. If I came again, I would order a la carte and not off the tasting.

Our last meal in Venice was fantastic! The quality of the food surpassed our expectations, and the service was terrific! Our waiter was Alex (his "English" version, of course), who attended to us incredibly! He suggested a wine that was delicious and when we had the 6 course tasting menu, he paced each course perfectly! While a bit pricey, this was worth every cent!

We were in town filming a fashion segment when the owner of the factory recommended this wonderful restaurant to us. But we had a dilemma, it was the England Croatia World Cup semi final and our reservation overlapped...but they were kind and accommodated and sat us in a table by the water with a view of the game from the bar next door. Haha sure not the romantic vision of a night in Venice but once England lost the party started. We took their advice and ordered four starters, a burrata dish and a polenta with octopus. Amazing. Then we went for the giant sea bass served with potatoes and some veggies and it was delightful, our sommelier, who also watched the game with us, (he was part Croatian) treated us to some magical natural Italian wine. They were insanely good. Trust him. He knows. We then ordered all their desserts, the tiramisu def wins. Love this place, locals swear by it and for a dinner for four with two bottles of wine it came out to less than 400 euros...come on! what a deal!

This was our upscale dinner in Venice. We loved this part of town away from the tourists with quieter spots on the water. This restaurant is pricy with small portions but everything we had was excellent. This was a meal that we just wanted to extend. We started with the eggplant and mozzarella salad. We each had a homemade pasta. The pasta itself was excellent but I wished mine had more flavor. We then shared a white fish, crusted with nuts.

Came in for lunch and was advised this is a locals place. We sat outside along the water canal since it was such a beautiful day and started off with yummy bread and the red house wine. For starters I ordered the Fried scampi marinated with red onion, pine nuts and topped on polenta - divine! Next course home made pappardelle with chicken and lastly duck breast with wine sauce & figs. Both entrees were so delicious and fresh tasting. The service here by our waitress was outstanding and this was definitely one of the better meals we enjoyed in Venezia! I just wish I had room for dessert.
