Un piccolo ma ben gestito ristorante. è dentro che all'esterno è comodo anche se i tavoli sono piccoli. il personale è veloce, gentile e amichevole. il menu ricalcola i classici menu veneziani, i piatti sono ben cucinati e con prodotti di qualità.

Abbiamo scoperto per caso questo ristorante girando per Venezia e sono rimasti davvero soddisfatti! Gentilezza del personale e qualità del cibo ottima! Consigliato per chiunque non voglia trovarsi in un ristorante turistico

Was recommended this restaurant by the concierge at my hotel which was just a few meters away. I was a little unsure whether this was just someone recommending their friends business but I was pleasantly surprised to find the recommendation was on point. Went fairly early in the evening (6:30pm and by the time I left at 8:30pm the place was heaving. I opted for starters and mains which were amazing (if you're a fish/seafood fan and was going to skip dessert as the first 2 courses were generous I felt, but the lovely waiter (Friedrich? persuaded me to have a pannacotta which was delish. Was also offered a limoncello on the house to end a very pleasant evening meal. I didn't feel the meal was super expensive (about €78 inc 1/2l wine , but quality of food and the atmosphere in the small but friendly place were 5 star. Would recommend!

Excellent restaurant in a quiet backwater of Venice, but still close to Saint Marks Square. Very welcoming and staff friendly and attentive. The food is excellent. Every now and then, you find a really extraordinary place where the food is sublime. I can only say this about half a dozen restaurants I have eaten in, and this is one of them. My wife and I loved it. What struck me most was how simple the ingredients to the meal were, but of course, this is the essence of Italian cuisine. I had a fantastic Spaghetti Vongole for a starter, and my wife a simple mozzarella and tomato salad. My main course was a mixed grilled fish with grilled vegetables, while my wife again had something simple, a garlic and olive oil pasta. Everything was fantastic.

The staff were friendly and service was good but we didn’t like the food. I had scallops for starter, they were very oily and tasted as though they were frozen and not fresh as they were a little tough. For mains the pasta wasn’t bad. We couldn’t drink the wine. We asked for a recommendation it wasn’t cheap at 40euro, but we ended up leaving it as it was undrinkable. We were very disappointed ..
