The food was delicious, the staff were friendly, and the overall atmosphere of the restaurant was fantastic. In particular, having dinner on the terrace at sunset was truly an unforgettable experience. The pork knuckle dish you recommended was generous in portion and absolutely delicious. However, one downside was that the food took quite a long time to be served, and even the payment process was rather slow. It also seemed that the staff were not very familiar with The Fork app, and the discount was only applied after some delay and confirmation.

Enjoyed the lasagne and the wine but the highlight was the house band. Two hours of top quality jazz.

We celebrated our anniversary and Everyone was very keen to accommodate our every wish. Vegan, no ginger, please take the table to the other room so that we can eat in front of the open window and so on. Everyone was super friendly and very attentive to us, a really nice time and an absolute recommendation!!!

The food, wine, friendly staff and music made our visit memorable and we enjoyed our time very much. The band playing during the meal were very talented so although they took a long time to set up, once things got going it was a great evening. The service by waiters was very good, a bit less attentive as the evening went on when we wanted dessert and to pay the bill, but this was a minor point. We enjoyed our time and the band playing was an added bonus so I would definitely recommend coming here to eat delicious food and enjoy some live music :-)

Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words! We're thrilled that the combination of good food, wine, live jazz and our friendly team made your evening special. We’re especially happy you enjoyed the band — sometimes jazz takes a little time to warm up… but then it flows! Thanks also for your feedback on the service at the end — we take note and will work on keeping the rhythm smooth from start to finish. Come back anytime — there’s always a tune, a plate and a smile waiting for you at Laguna Libre!

I 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.

This 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.

On 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

A 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.

We 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! ????????️????

great 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.
