8.5/10The 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.

10/10I’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.

10/10Friendly and attentive staff. Food was excellent - we had the sea bass for two, fresh and flaky. The best anywhere.

8.5/10Nice restaurant, with pleasurable seats and interiors. Tables also available on the square outside. Extremely friendly and attentive personnel, really kind. Good food, though some dishes were on the small side...3 small scallops as starter for > 20 euros...but you pay being in Venice as well...Great dinner overall, but not good value for money...

10/10We had a fantastic dinner. We arrived a bit early to have a spritz to which they were very accompdating. We then shared a seafood platter that was fantastic.

10/10They had the best buffula mozerella, and we loved the prosciutto n melon n ricotta appetizers. They accompanied the appetizers with complimentary Prosecco. Then I had the duck which was amazing, my son had the black truffle pasta which was similarly amazing, and my husband had the blue crab fuselli which was very good. We got complimentary limoncello with the check. And we booked it thru the fork for 20% off. Ambiance lovely sitting in the square n terrific service. Would strongly recommend!

6/10This restaurant was nothing memorable. The interior is cute and seemed clean. I ordered a pasta dish and it was just good. Not very flavorful. The service was very good and friendly. Just average.

8/10We don’t understand why these people ask for tips ( in writing:” the tip is not include”) and we paid for the “coberto”, is looking an abuse of tourist.

10/10Delicious food in a great setting away from crowds. We didn’t need a pasta and fish for two, it was a bit too much food unless you are super hungry. Highly recommend!

9.5/10My favorite part of the meal was the melon and prosciutto. In USA if you order this you get a large sliver of melon and 1 piece of prosciutto. Here 4 cubes of melon and and an entire plate of prosciutto-better than any prosciutto you can buy in the states! Plus the cheese with it so incredible!

9.5/10Overall, it was a very good restaurant. We drank a seafood platter and two glasses of beer, but it was so large and delicious that we couldn't eat them all because we were full. Except that the interior was a little hot, all parts were good.

8/10Very friendly and attentive service from when you arrive to when you leave. Not pushy or seem annoyed that most tourist do not speak Italien and are not shy in speaking English. they were helpful and accommodating. Prices are moderate and the portions are good - Their menu selections are varied and their wine list is decent as well as the pricing. The restaurant is in a very high traffic and known area ( a couple of hundred meters from the Rialto Bridge) so when I say the pricing is moderate, its in the price range of ALL the restaurants of the same caliber in Venice. With that being said, I would eat here again and not think about the prices as for us, its a vacation.

10/10It was my dads birthday and i mentioned it when i booked the place. The manager/waiter was so kind to give us complimentary drinks at the start. We had our meal and was too full to order desserts but they still gave us a free tiramisu to celebrate my dads birthday and ended with another free round of shots. Service was superb and waiters were so so kind. My family really enjoy the time there. Thank you!
