6.5/10Overall it was good. The bread was served without plates nor oil/butter/vinegar…anything. The mussels were very good. The carbonara was ok. It lacked the deep pork flavor of guancale that makes the dish. The catch of the day was swordfish. It was prepared simply, but perfectly. The fowl was mediocre at best. Dry breast meat always provides a startling chill to a meal. Luckily they had a strong bottle of vino to pull us through. Honestly I expect a lot more from a €170+ meal. A few notes…they charge €4 each to sit, 20% to share, must order 2 courses each (12 item menu), extra bread is €2.50.

Mr. Allen, Thanks for the time you spent reviewing us. Nowhere is written Italian restaurants serve butter or oil and we do not do it unless required and you did not. We know in some Guides is suggested to ask for it but it's not Italian style do it. We do not charge 20% on your bill, check it please. Is it written on the menu because we noticed lot of people booking for dinner, coming and asking one plate in 2 and that’s all because they are not hungry. As you saw, we have 10 tables and we must optimize every single order. You paid 170 but you ordered a bottle of Amarone which itself is half of your bill. Regarding the food, Guinea fowl breast was served with potato sauce, gravy sauce and cauliflower. If you expected cream sourrounding the meat, again, not Italian cuisine. Maybe American or French.

10/10This restaurant restored my faith in Italian cooking. Venice is awash in tourist traps serving the same boring dishes of low quality and lack of passion. This chef and his staff clearly take tremendous pride in pushing the envelope while still respecting traditions. The value you get here is amazing, I would have gladly paid double what they charged. The only downside is that I found this hidden gem in my last night in Venice, otherwise I would have dined here every night. As a chef myself I'm very critical when I dine out, there wasn't a single thing about this restaurant I could criticize. It was truly fantastic!

10/10The cooking was genuinely exceptional. One of the best meals I have eaten. The starter of veal cooked sous vide with delicate tuna sauce and generous garnish of sliced fresh truffle was really brilliant.

10/10Eat here 9 months ago and it was fabulous. When we decided to return to Venice for two nights, it was the first place we wanted to go on our return. It did not disappoint. Beautiful inside. Delicious food. And the people are so nice and welcoming. If I return again, I will go Bach to Regina Sconta!

10/10This restaurant was recommended by a guide who took us on a street food tour and we are so pleased that we followed his advice. In fact we went twice over our 4 day trip. We had the risotto to share which was superb (best ever according to my husband) and I also thought the guinea fowl delicious. The second time we had the truffle Parmesan pasta despite my attempts to have a carb free diet and it was well worth it. Overall the service is delightful, it’s off the main tourist drag and a very stylish and comfortable place to spend time. Cost wise it feels like very good value compared with some of the more ordinary restaurants and their prices. Do go, the young couple running it need your custom and support!

8.5/10Food was good. We started with the octopus then I got the anglotti and my husband got the fried seafood dish. My dishes both could have used some salt. Server was minima, and unfriendly yet efficient. Romantic setting and cool building but very hot inside. No soap in bathroom at either sink.
Regina Sconta • Owner
Thanks for the review. Answering to your points, I'm sorry you found our service not enough warm to your standards. Regarding dishes flavours, if you needed some salt, you could just ask for it. Soap and paper towels ARE below the mirror in bathroom. If you didn't find it, you could kindly ask to the staff. Best regards

10/10We started off with the large cheese plate which had a great selection of cheeses and was delicious. Then we had the risotto and the spider crab pasta. Both were so delicious but my favorite was the risotto. I would definitely recommend getting a table here!

10/10What a great experience! The waitress was very welcoming and attentive. We had the selection of cheeses to start which were all delicious. The risotto and panna cotta were also both really good. This restaurant checks so many boxes, it is well worth the visit!

10/10My wife and I had an absolutely amazing evening here today. Every dish was “wow” and the lady who served us was so knowledgeable, warm and welcoming we felt properly looked after. Fantastic wine advice too. We cannot recommend this place highly enough and if nothing else convinces you to try it then listen to this; I’ve never reviewed a restaurant ever before, have only been back in the hotel 20 minutes, and I’m not drunk! Bravo Regina Sconta!

5.5/10This was the most expensive meal we had in Venice and it had the smallest amount of food. Limited menu. One person working entire front of the house. She closed the door between our side of the restaurant when we were laughing too much.
Regina Sconta • Owner
Let me make it clear: mostly of the pasta dishes were not ended, but "it's delicious thanks!". So I really do not understand how you can complain about portions if you did not end your plates. 2 starters to be shared in 6 people could not be enough of course, but we never force our customers to order more than they want. The slided door that divides our 2 rooms were closed to keep cooler your Place! not at all to isolate your group! I'm sorry if you misunderstood our action. You're not forced to leave tip in Italy, if you thought your dinner is too expensive. That's It.

10/10Beautiful restaurant with excellent food-the best soft shell crab! Really attentive and knowledgable staff. A lovely experience we would definitely recommend. Very affordable pricing for the quality of the food (same price as Miller and Carter) but better in every aspect.

10/10The food was exquisite, the service was timely, the staff were polite and very friendly. The atmosphere was relaxed, tranquil and very pleasant. Very tasteful decor with a blend of rustic brickwork with a modern upmarket feel about it. Would highly recommend!! Excellent restaurant, incredible food, and lovely staff.

10/10Lovely light modern restaurant with a cosy ambience, tucked away from the main thoroughfares. Good choice of appetisers, main course and desserts with seafood, steak and venison all featured. Service was friendly and prompt - the waitress was able to explain some dishes in English. Wine we chose was delicious. Probably not for those on a tight budget but well worth the money. We all enjoyed our meals so much we went back another evening.
