This was one of the highlights of my first experience in Italy. The service was amazing and made us feel like family. The whole meal was a 10/10 but the service is what made the night come to life. Faris and Arif paid great attention, made amazing recommendations and did it all with smile.
Cute spot with great pastas. Beautiful flavours and presentation. My husband usually needs parmesano and gets raised eyebrows when adding this to his Vongole. This is one time where he requested it, didn’t need it in the end, because his plate was so perfectly balanced, aromatic and rich in flavour. Reccomend for a casual lunch in Venice away from the hustle bustle.
Came across this restaurant by chance as we were out walking looking for somewhere to eat. Got drawn to it by the very affordable menu but liked the look of the choices. There was room inside but we sat outside on the walkway on a table for two and watched the world go by. Our choice of food was superb. I would highly recommend and would go again. I tried the Tagliono Nero in pumpkin sauce with prawns for the first time and it was stunning. This place should be packed every night it’s that good. We will definitely go back l there when we visit Venice again . Big shout out to our wonderful waiter Arif who was extremely attentive throughout.
Hidden gem! My girlfriend and I booked a late dinner on a Wednesday and the staff was super accommodating, friendly, and the level of service was top tier. Food is unique and well executed. Everything we ate was amazing. This restaurant is also located in a quieter part of Venice which is great if you want to get away from crowds.
We had a lovely dinner here, with delicious food and wonderful service! We asked our server for recommendations and he chose our dishes based on the fresh seafood that the kitchen received that day. All the dishes were excellent, and we really like the ink pasta. The house red wine is also very yummy. I would recommend going here and asking about the fresh seafood!!
