Tucked away in a little italian cobblestone laneway is a fine place to wine and dine (if you can find it that is).
The waitress was great as she can translate the menu into english and willingly too.
We started off with the beef carpaccio, didn't look like much on the plate. However, the understated simplicity had a great impact on taste.
I then ordered spaghetti with scampi (wish there was more scampi - it's never enough). The chilli running through it gave the dish more depth. Otherwise, it could've been boring.
The fritto misto is great to share and I guess anything fried tastea great.
Enjoy! Ciao!

I found this little restaurant in Cannaregio on TripAdvisor after searching for a place to eat near our hotel. We had dinner here on our first night in Venice and were glad to get a good dinner so close by, after a full day walking all around the city. All food was well prepared from high-quality ingredients. The portions we had were a bit on the large side - in fact, after starters and main courses (skipping primi piatti) we simply had to say no to dessert! I'm sorry I can't remember in detail all we had, but remember having a tuna tartar for starters and my husband says he had a very good steak. Service was attentive and friendly. Good value, highly recommend!

We discovered this restaurant through trip advisor. It was an absolute delight. Small menu with all the pasta made on the premises. The menu whilst all in Italian was quickly translated by our waitress. The food was divine and cost €180 for 4 of us including, beer, wine 3 entrees and 4 mains. It is off the tourist thoroughfare but well worth the effort to find it. Bookings are essential. Highly recommend this restaurant.

We had an excellent meal here, the quality was fabulous and the service was wonderful. This is a very small restaurant in a neighborhood tucked into an alley, so it's hard to find, but worth it.

We went there based on the reviews from TripAdvisor and we were not disappointed. Everything we ate was excellent and tasty, in particular their smoked salmon. Service was also very good and our waiters answered our questions about the menu which was in Italian only. A true local restaurant, not one of those tourist traps. Really enjoyed our dinner, glad we went and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great meal while in Venice.
