Excellent food, beautifully presented and attentive and outstanding service. We have eaten at Mario a La Fava for several years and have always enjoyed the meals. Each year they continue to improve the menu and in particular the vegan options. We look forward to our return.

Server was helpful and very cordial making us feel most welcome. Server staff likewise. Seafood dishes - scuttle fish, bakalà, octopus - and liver (yes liver people) were all most delicious. The chocolate spaghetti was extremely decadent and satisfying.

Nice place, but nothing special. Would have liked more attention to detail in the ambiance

The food was attractive and well presented and we really appreciated that they had a vegan option. The service was quite lax given the cost. The ambience of the outdoor space was also not up to the 500€ that we spent for dinner for 4 people: the outdoors space is a back street (almost an alley) with flies, wandering beggars and drunks. I probably would not go back.

Location? We had a table near canal and it does smell, mosquitoes are present even in early May. But, you are in Venezia, water is everywhere! Food? Decent, but just that. Won’t say anything bad. Service? Attentive to the point that you are pushed to make a decision fast - fast table turn around brings up the revenue. I understand but it takes away from the experience. Wine? Definitely priced on the high end. Probably wine closer to $100 may have tasted better but no guarantee, I only bought $60 bottle. Who goes there? During our visit it was tourists all around. Not a great sign. How did I found about the place? Hotel concierge recommendation. I will let you to make your own conclusions.

The food quality is nice, the vegan menu is a welcome option you don't find often in Venice. It's massively overpriced though. You get much better value for money elsewhere. There are five or so waiters, one brings the fork, one the knife, one the spoon, all a bit hectic. They also wanted to serve us dessert before the main course was served - they get confused with all their staff. It's not bad, but I would not go again.

This place is our favorite in Venice. I’m vegan (a little tough in this beautiful city) and my husband is not, and we both had the very best meal here. The staff is friendly, kind, and helpful. The ambience is perfect. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Excellent overall experience. We were attended by a professional server with 22 years experience that spoke several languages. He recommended an excellent wine that was only 25 euros. Food was well presented and very tasty. Highly recommended
