Visited this restaurant on spec - we had to wait 20 mins for a table but it was well worth the wait. Food and wine were great, and the staff really helped to make it an occasion. There were nice little extras supplied between courses and they were happy to accomodate my fish allergy. About 50 euros /head incl. wine... More

I have been going to this restaurant for the last 7 years and the food never fails to disappoint. In fact, since the first time I visited I have been recommending it to people ever since as a must visit during any trip to Venice. My sister had never been to Venice before and I wanted to show her the... More

The place is not cheap and they tend to male two services, so you need to understand well what you are looking for from the dinner. But if you organize well, the cuisine is good, Venetian but not the same traditional food found everywhere. Service is good. Bread and cakes great. More

We went to try this restaurant encouraged by the nicest concierge I have ever met in my life, Paola from Hotel Ca Vendramin where we stayed this time in Venice. Paola told us we have to try real Venetian food and we did not regret her choice. The place is very pretty inside. There are not many tables so you... More

This was significantly less good than I was expecting from various reviews and recommendations. My wife and I both had the plate of mixed raw seafood for our starter: about a third of it was really top notch (the other two thirds weren't). Our mains were OK, but not outstanding: my wife's tagliolini compared poorly with that of Fischetteria Toscana... More

I took my girlfriend here for her 30th. We had the seafood tasting menu which was wonderful - and surprisingly good value considering the food was paired with wines for the price, the quality of the food and the restaurant is in expensive Venice. This restaurant does not have a Michelin star but the food is good enough in my... More

Recommended by friends from Venice it was the perfect hint. Quality of ingredients is high as well as the overall results. Fish, meat or vegetables are of superior rank. Desserts are amazing too. price is fully in line with what you eat. Creative cusine. More

When I'm in Venice, I want to eat as the Venetians do. This place used to fit the bill, but now it's become generic and international, and overpriced as well. Very smooth and professional service, but not the authentic Venetian experience. More

We were recommended this restaurant in a short list by a friend of a friend with local knowledge. We couldn't get a table on our first day in Venice but were lucky for our second evening. We were given delicious breadsticks of three flavours including squid ink Tasty fresh small rolls of various types and then an 'amouse Bouche' plate... More
