    Brilliant attentive service, complementary Prosecco was a bonus too. Delicious food with lots of options, the spicy swordfish and scallops starters were perfect as was the pasta dishes we had of butter truffle spaghetti and blue crab and smoked ricotta fusilli. Ambience was perfect and the wall of wine bottles was a real feature!

    being in the fish market in the morning, we have been disappointed by the mix grill plate. overcooked and too oily. it would have deserved a better chef. surely other thibgs to try. for us, by far too expensive vs quality

    It was a very good and delicious experience. We shared the seafood plate for two for 40 Euro per person. It was well cooked and very delicious. In the background was music from Eurovision Song Contest, so all ESC fans will love it.

    I absolutely loved this place! The service was top-notch, and the food left me absolutely speechless. I have never had such delicious seafood in my life – it was truly incredible. I was genuinely impressed. We came here for Valentine’s Day, and I think this was the best Valentine’s Day I’ve ever had, largely because I had an amazing evening and an unforgettable dinner at this restaurant. Also, I really loved the Prosecco!

    3.5/10

    Quite disappointed by the food.. the Venetian taco was a potato mash with a sour sardine on top in a taco shell, and the pistachio pasta was watery and tasteless. The lasagna was the only course that held up to our expectations. Also the main waiter was not very helpful and dismissive. A big letdown as we had high hopes..

    Had my wife’s birthday celebrated here. The staff was friendly and gave us perfect suggestions. The risotto was delicious but so were the steaks. It’s the perfect restaurant for celebrations.

    The food is amazing and the customer service is excellent. That’s why we went back there twice in 2 days. Really wanted to try different dishes but had no time. We will go back there again when we visit Venice next time.

    The service was amazing! Very attentive staff! I appreciated that they never let my glass of wine get empty even! The food was ok, not my favorite I had in Venice but I would go back and would try something else. I did order some dishes that were a bit different for me so it could be that I just didn’t care for it because it was not my usual fair. The ambience was wonderful! We sat inside. Love the little side tables they use here - it really makes so much better use of the smaller two person tables.
