We were pleased with our service and meals. We had a quiet corner table. The Lemoncello was a nice finish to our dinner.

The staff was wonderful, due to our train getting cancelled the day before, we were only able to get an early reservation the next night. We walked by that day and they were able to push our time until later. The service was excellent and both of our meals were delicious

The view is amazing as expected in Venice!! Service was on the slow side. Food was good, but I had better at Le Cafe as you’re heading to St. Marks Square.

The view was beautiful, with the sun setting over the canal. The food was delicious and the service was wonderful. We had the fish of the day which was delicious and fresh. Would recommend 👌

The food selection and presentation was outstanding. The food for all three in my party was excellent. I had the basic spaghetti bolognese, a friend had the filet and my other friend had the special, sea bass. It was all well prepared and VERY tasty. We enjoyed it and the view. We had wanted to sit inside after a long day outside but it was warmer inside than outside on the promenade. So we sat outside with a nice breeze. Wasn’t bad at all. But the inside should be as hospitable. My ONLY negative. We’ll be back and we’ll be sending friends there on their journeys to Venice.

Nice location but lacking overall service and food quality. Risotto was undercooked and not hot when brought to table, service staff was not very welcoming and took some time to get drink orders.

Due to the rain, we had to sit inside the restaurant. We got a great table, and the staff was very friendly. The appetizers were excellent, and we were already looking forward to the fish. The fish was good but far from what we had expected. It was a whole turbot, but not grilled—instead, it came with a tomato-olive sauce and potato slices. It tasted quite good, but not as outstanding as the one we’d had the previous evening at another restaurant. It seemed like it wasn’t day-fresh. Very disappointing, especially considering the really high price. But as mentioned, the rest—including the ambiance and staff—was outstanding.
