    The food was excellent, the service very attentive, and the staff extremely friendly. Our table was a bit in the middle of the walkway, and the price-to-value ratio was on the higher side. Nonetheless, we were very satisfied overall.

    This was our favourite restaurant during our stay in Venice this time. We really enjoyed the seafood and the service was absolutely exemplary. The staff were extremely attentive, friendly and helpful. We liked the classic Venetian ambience as well. In fact, we liked it so much that we dined with them again. This is one restaurant not to be missed. We had two great evenings at San Silvestro. Hope to return …

    An outstanding meal with the freshest raw and cooked fish. The branzino (sea bass) was delightful. Two beautiful wines delivered perfectly by Nico, the wonderful head waiter. A very special evening.

    Attention to detail. Excellent explanation and a kind mix of potatoes and veggies with my grilled fish of the day. Wine recommendation was perfect. Highly recommend

    The food was just ok. Nothing special. Catered only to tourists. Italians would not favor this place, I think.

    Wonderful dining experience on atmospheric calle near Rialto but off the main beaten paths and away from the tourist hordes. Everything we had was well-prepared, delicious and reasonably priced. Best of all the wait staff was friendly, helpful without being obtrusive, and made it the lovely night that it was. Thank you, and we hope to be back one day!

    Whilst we had to wait for our table, once in the service was attentive & the food delicious . We had the grilled fish platter which was fresh & succulent. Stefano was a great host. Can’t recommend highly enough.

    Every morsel of seafood was delectable, the service incredible and the ambiance delightful. The crème brûlée melts in your mouth. This restaurant can not be missed for dinner when in Venice. Don’t miss it.

    We had a family trip to Europe with our daughters and their spouse/ partners. We wanted to have a nice meal together to celebrate the week together. The food preparation was excellent along with the service. They have a great selection of dishes from vegetarian to a range of seafood options. Everyone ordered something different. Would recommend guest consider splitting an appetizer, ordering a meal and salad to finish. It is plenty of delicious food.

    This family-owned restaurant has great food at a reasonable price. The staff are friendly and efficient. The evening is a perfect time to enjoy the small outdoor seating area in a typical Venetian calle/street (late August).
