    Very well, maybe everything too fast after the apero en too much personnel round the table, but very good food.

    Food is good,but really can not understand why they charge extra 4 euro per person for dinner! They said it’s a tax initially, but later said it is their special charge for diner. Don’t like this kind of trick to make money.

    This is a great restaurant. We have eaten here twice and the food is well made with great ingredients. Staff is friendly without being pushy. Pizzas are not on the menu, but they can make them for kids.

    Absolutely big surprise We had an unforgettable dining experience at Santa Maria Formosa. Everything was perfect — from the elegant setting to the genuinely warm and attentive service. The tuna was perfectly seared, the oysters fresh and briny, and the seafood pasta bursting with flavor and cooked just right. A true Venetian gem that blends authenticity with a touch of sophistication. Highly recommended if you’re looking for high-quality seafood in a beautiful, quiet setting!

    they kept trying to recommend to order expensive menu, and welcoming attitude has been changed once we confirmed that we order only 6 plates for 6 people. Foods were not bad, but overpriced.
