    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!

    We had a reservation through the Fork app but they kindly sat us earlier. The staff was very friendly and service was fast. The food was ok.

    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.

    We have eaten there 3 times this week and have tried appetizers, multiple types of fish, pastas and meat. All have been good. Their lower priced wines have been a little disappointing.

    We found the food and service to be very good. We chose to eat inside as it was a little cool outside, but the outdoor seating was even more popular.

    The food was very good and we enjoyed the experience. The only fly in the ointment was that we realised too late that we'd only been given a 10% discount instead of the promised 20%. BE WARNED.

    I’m from New York City and easily got what would be a $1K meal there for $400€ here for a family of 7. Some of the best seafood I have ever had.
