10/10I had a very pleasant evening - comfort food, great service and a nice view with sundowner. A good choice of vegetarian, vegan, meat or fish menue with local ingredient.

5/10This is a great Jazz establishment. Good musicians and music venue. My wife ordered the vegan special and I ordered the Pork set menu. Both my wife’s food and mine were from disappointing to horrible. My main course was totally inedible. We were in at opening and I suspect what we were getting was from the night before. This is the only restaurant in Venice I have had any issues with. It really is a music venue that serves bad food. Eat somewhere else before going to venue. Frank kenny

Dear Frank, We are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We have taken your feedback seriously. However, we would like to point out that we noticed you left your dish practically untouched without informing us, despite our requests, of any issues. We would have appreciated if you had expressed your dissatisfaction during your visit, so we could have intervened immediately to ensure your satisfaction. Furthermore, all the other customers that evening praised the same dishes. Your statement about the quality seems unfair and exaggerated to us. Nevertheless, we hope to welcome you again in the future and provide you with a culinary experience that meets your expectations. Thank you for your feedback. Best regards.

10/10On a chilly Venetian evening, as soon as we entered this beautiful restaurant, we were welcomed by the warmth and friendliness of the waitstaff and the beauty of the venue. We were impressed by the quality of a photographic exhibition across all rooms and walls, showcasing the work of 11 incredibly talented female photographers, as well as the spaciousness and design of the spaces and furnishings. The open kitchen was absolutely sublime, serving simple dishes with fresh and expertly cooked ingredients. Unfortunately, there wasn't a live concert on the evening of our visit, but the background music perfectly complemented the magic of the place and was well-curated. We highly recommend it and will definitely return on our next visit to this wonderful city

10/10A quiet gem of a restaurant on a quiet canal. Attentive service with good local wine recommendations. Warm caponata tambale and thinly sliced tender pork were great starters. The pasta course with chicory and $2chestnut leaves was memorably delicious. And the tiramisu with espresso soaked ladyfingers was the best we had in our two weeks in Italy.

7/10We had high expectations because of the very good reviews. First we needed to change the chairs (the restaurant has 2 types of chairs (we were sitting on a kind of camping chairs - nice for camping, but not for a birthday dinner). Then the food came nearly cold (Lasagne and Spaghetti Carbonara). We told the waiter and he explained us that the Carbonara can‘t be served warm because of the eggs. They brought us the Carbonara once more - this time warmer. The really good thing is that we were sitting next to the water, but anyway there are many more restaurants in this road, which where also much better booked. All in all it was disappointing and I would not recommend this restaurant.

Oh, we're sorry to hear that the 'camping chairs' didn't quite meet your expectations for a birthday dinner! But, you see, they are actually 'director's chairs' in style, perfect for those who want to direct their meal with flair ????. Regarding the food, we understand your concern about the temperature. Carbonara can be a tricky dish to serve hot due to its delicate ingredients, but we're glad you received a warmer version on the second attempt. The waterside location is certainly a highlight, but we understand there are many other options in the area. We're sorry that your experience didn't meet your expectations, and we hope you can find a more suitable place for your next birthday dinner. Belated happy birthday! ????????️????

10/10By getting off the beaten path, you’ll be rewarded with untouristy restaurants like Laguna Libre. This hidden gem specializes in great Venetian food with honest and unpretentious service. You just have to try it and enjoy a great meal.

10/10great music, very good food, not too many people and perfect lighting (not too much, not too little). We were offered a table quite close to musicians but music level was not too high so no problem there.

10/10This was our first visit and won’t be our last. We were looking for a cuisine which, whilst pure Italian, wasn’t the general kind of food one gets as a tourist. A bit more ‘haute cuisine’ (in Italian). We weren’t disappointed. Two of us had pumpkin soup with beetroot sauce, one a baccala melange with plain and fried baccala plus polenta and aubergine mousse and one a reportedly ‘wonderful’ salad with avocado (mousse, ricotta and chestnutsand other things I can’t remember). For mains, we had, severally, a vast chunk of succulent lamb with a spiced Savoy cabbage (a bit like sauerkraut), a beef casserole in a rich sauce with orange and polenta, a beautifully light gnocchi with duck ragout and a lasagne with

7/10Food was nice. We odered gnocci with duck bolognese and spaguetti nero di sepia. The outside tables next to the canal give it a romantic setting for dinner. Unfortunately the service was very slow and the temperature was cold so a few heaters would've made it a more enjoyable experience.
