Reviews
This restaurant is amazing, truly authentic, with very high quality food, great service and reasonable prices. The raw fish was absolutely outstanding, even by Italian standards and all the other dishes were wonderfully cooked and beautifully presented. I was so glad to discover this restaurant, which was recommended to me by a local. Do try it, I will definitely be back next time I’m in Venice!
We happened to pop in during our evening walk and were pleasantly impressed by the wonderful seafood offerings - the baked Turbot was amazing! Service was excellent and the atmosphere was friendly. The house-made Tiramisu was great too.
A wonderful dinner in the heart of Cannaregio One of the nicer discoveries of our trip to Venice. We ordered three dishes and all of them were excellent. The melanzane alla parmigiana had tender eggplant, a well-balanced tomato sauce, and generous shaved cheese, beautifully plated. The ravioli were made with fresh pasta and a delicate filling, finished with fragrant cheese. But the star of the evening was the squid-ink spaghetti with seafood — deep, briny flavor, perfectly cooked calamari, and real freshness. The presentation was thoughtful, the service attentive, and the atmosphere cozy. Happy to recommend it, and we'd definitely come back.
I ate here with a group of 8 friends while in town and had a blast. The place has a chill atmosphere and didn’t have a problem with us being a bit loud. The food was excellent and the service was perfect and had fun by joining in our shenanigans.
Delicious fresh seafood, great atmosphere, and a very clean restaurant. The service was excellent throughout our visit. Special thanks to Simone for his friendly and attentive service. He speaks English well, making everything easy and enjoyable. Highly recommended when visiting Venice! 🇮🇹
