6.5/10This is a very cute place but they were weirdly playing pop/club music really loudly. It detracted from the whole experience. The wait staff were efficient but not friendly. I think if the music had been quieter and different we would have been able to enjoy this more.

9/10Very tasty food, everything we ordered was delicious! The only thing that did not make this a 5* experience was the feeling that we were somehow rushed to finish our food, pay and leave!

3/10I looked the restaurant ahead and was fooled by the amount of reviews. We had a reservation and by the time we arrived they didn’t even care, they just seated us next to the catering area. The place was very loud and not suitable for a relaxing dinner. The service was very bad and the waitress/ the manager were very rude. They rush you with ordering and force you to leave in less than 30 min pf arriving. 100% Wouldn’t recommend.

8/10The food was excellent . I had grilled seafood for starter which was very good - good flavour and a good range of seafood . My husband had beef tartare which was well presented and flavoursome . For main we had spaghetti alla vongole and spaghetti with scampi .- both were good portion size and good flavour . The ambience of the restaurant was good - many Italians and locals - a good sign of a good place to eat . The service was fast - too fast for some ! The waiter was quick to tidy away plates as soon as you had finished ! Our entire meal took about 40 minutes !!!! In all a nice restaurant, excellent food great if you are in a hurry !!!!!

Still the same warm hospitality, authentic cuisine and Venetian charm as when I visited over a decade ago. The seafood, as always, a highlight.

10/10The restaurant was so authentically Italian. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was warm, and you could tell the food was so fresh. We would recommend it to anyone in Venice.

6/10We were seated promptly but in a small table with another couple.we were not greeted warmly but rather rudely. The waiter wanted our order right away but I wanted a wine list. The food was good but I did not feel welcome

9.5/10Our server had a great personality and was very engaging. The food was very good. I was very happy we made reservations. There was a long line of people that didn't.

8.5/10This was our second time visiting. The first time was 2016. Our server seemed annoyed with us, but our other servers were actually quite kind. We met the owner, who was absolutely brilliant. Truly kind and gracious and super generous!

5/10Central location in San Marco district. Large restaurant catering largely for tourists employing menu with pictures, in-house accordian and singers to serenade the customers. Water placed on table without asking and then billed for. Food is average at best with additional 'on-the-house' extra like bread and desserts. Overall quite expensive for what you get and not of good quality. Ultimately the (free) extras are hidden with the costs of mains and drinks. Didn't return. Many alternatives.

5/10Felt very rushed to eat the food. Plate removed within seconds of finishing and even when we hadn’t finished!!!! Felt very under pressure. There was only 2 others in the restaurant but they must of overbooked after us so wanted us out.

2/10The staff were rude & attempted to rush us to order less than 5 minutes of sitting, than told us there are people waiting for tables (which there were not ). We walked out. Very rude staff. Would definitely not recommend going if you’re looking for an enjoyable experience.

5.5/10Food was good. Service was absolutely horrible!!!! i asked for a glass of white wine whhen we ordered. 20 minutes later we got our food and i had to flag down the waiter to remind him about the wine. I had to ask 3 times for cheese for my son's pasta. My husband was still eating his meal when one waitress brought us the desert menu and another brought us our bill within seconds of each other. So we didn't even get a chance to order desert. I've never seen a restaurant rush people out so fast!!! I would not recommend this place!!!

2/10Not traditional at all, they butter people up at the end of their meal with “free” dessert and dessert shots to leave a review, hence all the GREAT reviews. Scammers at their finest.

4/10The restaurant was so highly rated on social media but we were so disappointed with the service and the meal. Our waiter Basel had a very poor attitude and provided the worst service. He got our appetizer order wrong as well as my filet with no apologies. When we asked for the bill he said it was coming but 20 minutes later we had to go across the alley to pay. The rest of the staff was very nice and confused by his behavior. We made a reservation and we were really looking forward to something special. Sadly our experience was disappointing.

3.5/10If you’re looking for an authentic Italian meal, this is not the restaurant you want. My gnocchi did not taste homemade, and in the four cheese sauce was stodgy. (My husband called it macaroni and cheese.) The atmosphere was chaotic due to the kitchen being in another building, and we felt rushed. I cannot recommend.

10/10We enjoyed a fantastic and very memorable meal, quirky italian waiters (you'll warm up to them). Our vegetable risotto was delicious for anyone not up to seafood (I'm not used to seafood, I grew up in the desert). But every other table having seafood was saying great things. You'll have a great meal, but if you're hungry, make that reservation, they are fast but busy and it's a small restaurant.

10/10We sampled many items on the menu and each were delicious and fresh. Octopus, fried calamari, pasta with spider crab, and branzino were all equally wonderful. The service was attentive and the complimentary gnocchi and desert was a great touch!
