    The food was delicious and beautifullyplated. I recommendthe tiramisu. The service was great although the waiters were a little over bearing. We went early so it felt like we had every waiter's attention. We don't drink. It felt like they looked down on us for not ordering wine.

    We got a very unconfortable seat, like a booth, very small, against two walls, we asked for a different seat and they say " is all reserved". Food was ok, not wordy of the price we paid, there were a lot off waitreses serving known customers with no attention to us. We had better experiences on small not known restaurants, with very friendly waitresess.

    The server Paulo didn’t know anything about the wine list. Artirio apologized for the long delay intaking our order. Two of us ordered Veal Milanese and only one was delivered. Artirio said the second one was overlooked and we waited for the second one to be-cooked. The table next to us walked out- no bill- saying the food was terrible. At the table behind us the woman said her fish smelled ‘funny’ but she ate it anyway. Not a good night to spend 409 Euros on a disappointing experience and dinner. No more next time for us.

    Very old school and not in an authentic and traditional sense. Unsightly back room dining area with harsh lighting, no music or ambiance, and too many servers peering over as you eat. The food was fine.

    Very nice seafood restaurant. Food quality was outstanding. Fish was extremely fresh and prepared very simply to accentuate the natural flavor. Restaurant is relatively expensive, and they add a 12% tip. Seating is very close, so make friends.

    This is our favorite restaurant in Venice, a city of wonderful food. If you are looking for a true italian old world experiance with wonderful food and outstanding service, then this is the place for you.

    The food is amazing! Wine was a little bit expensive comparing the glass with the bottle price. Waiter made some jokes that made us a little uncomfortable. When we said we did not wanted bread they laughed at us. The place is worth because of the food and wine! That’s it!

    The restaurant seated us right away in a good location. Service was great and both of our courses were very good. The only very small complaint is, although my Venetian style fresh fish was excellent, the temperature was lukewarm. My wife’s pasta was hot, so not a big deal at all.

    Overpriced and was so unimpressed! They got us bread, we asked for plates, both plates were greasy and had pieces of food. We asked for new ones, mine had food stuck on the side. The table next to us had amazing service and were even offered free limoncello, we could barely see the waiter come to our table, not to even take the plates back. We had the clam spaghetti, scampi spaghetti and some fries. The food was under average. Would not recommend to anyone.

    The decor of the restaurant was made to resemble the Orient Express. Tables are placed a little tight, so a large person may feel uncomfortable. Service and food were outstanding. Wines a bit pricey, but the 2018 Torrione delivered a comparative bargain for depth of flavor

    Great italian food. The best spaghetti carbonara I ever ate. It might be not so great if you order something not traditional. My wife ordered monk fish with a special sauce that was not so great.

    The food and service were top level.The one minor criticism was the closeness of the tables to each other.That in the context of the whole is really a nit pick.The wine listis extensive and contains many regions and vintages.The waiter was wonderful in guiding me to a great vintage.

    The octopus was delicious but other than that I think it was Mediocre at best. Not the best atmosphere either it was a bit stuffy for my taste. The waiter was nice I would come back but not any time soon.

    An institution in Venice with attentive waiters in full dress and very good service. The food is good if not as amazing as it could be but go for the atmosphere. Prices are, unsurprisingly, high.

    My father has been coming to this little gem for 40 years. We were fortunate enough to be here again with him and celebrating his 83rd birthday. We will be back soon as we try to get to Italy at least once a year.

    3 courses in 50 minutes with 2 glases of regular white whine punched through within 50 min dor 200 €. The french next table finished faster in 45'. Food is just about, heated up. Not recommended.

    Nice food and good staff, just much too crowded and too busy to really enjoy. Great Seafood and good Pasta, and a tremendous wine selection!

    Very old world feel. Very funny server but lacking great service for the price. Food was okay, expected more quality for the price.

    One of the best dinners we've enjoyed in Venezia. An old friend recommended the fish in parchment (we had sea bass) but all delicious!

    We came by recommendation of our friends and left happy after a wonderful lunch of local seafud and fish. The team of the restaurant recommends the best options from their menu. Worried about this experience but were absolutely happy. Recommended.

    We made a reservation based on tripadvisor reviews. This place was terrible! Bread was stale, grandmother's tortellini soup seemed like fake meat tortellini from a can in super salty beef/chicken broth, filet was completely unseasoned, potato and veggie sides were barely edible, and we were seated in some strange sort of add on room at a slanted table next to a window with bars with someone else's bread on the floor. Definitely do not recommend. I don't normally write reviews, but need to put this one out there.
