    9.5/10

    Excellent restaurant with superb food and service at very reasonable prices for both the food and the wines. Certainly one of our favourite places to eat during our five days in Venice. A very lively atmosphere, if a little noisy at times but certainly deserves its reputation as one of the best restaurants in town

    The food was somewhat mixed tonight. I had the Seabass, which was excellent, and I will include the photo. However, my husband had the cuttlefish which was very mediocre he felt. The place is quite lively, full of people and somewhat noisy if you enjoy that type of ambiance

    The food was decent. The service was poor. We also needed to pay 9.50 each to take the ferry across from San Marco. It wasn’t worth it

    This restaurant is a wonderful place for having a great dinner in Venice. Food quality is top, and the service beyond imagination. Friendly, funny jokes, very nice conversations. The restaurant is a wonderful place you would not expect in Venice with all the millions of tourists... Thank you so much for a great dinner and a great evening. Next time I'll be in Venice, this restaurant is a must! :-)

    The service was friendly and fun. We were seated outside in a little alley beside a canal. We watched fish! Amazing! Bruschetta was good. Carbonara was small portion but tasty. Lasagna good size. Both very rich. Close tables so we ended up chatting with couple next to us. Great atmosphere and service.

    Exceeded expectations. Food was wonderful - from shared starter of burrata to our mains of spaghetti carbonara, sea bass ravioli, and tuna tagliata. The tiramisu for desert was also delicious. The restaurant was a bit noisy but the staff were very friendly and fun.
