Actually the best BIGOLI VONGOLE in town. More vongole than pasta. First time ever. The little “sea asparagus” is a nice touch. The pasta —comes violently hot—it is in the bowl for 8 seconds max before it’s on your table. It’s glorious. Hottest pasta, fastest transfer ever. Ever. Just the right amount of pasta water and starch to bind it all together and make you scrape your plate. Bravo. 10/10. Staff are a nice crew of young guys and happy to help. Door is tiny and hidden which is strange, but funky and adds to the experience. Will 100% be back.
We went for my mother’s 71st birthday and the food was excellent! I had the beef wrapped in bacon. It was cooked perfectly, very tender with large portions. My family had the raviolis which looked like artwork. The sauce was amazing and the ravioli fresh. The staff were amazing! They were very attentive and friendly. We would like to go back again on this trip.
We had a very enjoyable dinner there last night. I made a 730pm reservation, we came over on time and were seated promptly. Service was attentive, friendly and most importantly the food was great. We ordered steak tartare, veal liver, rigatoni Bolognese and yes 3! Branzino tacos as they were absolutely delicious! Great job guys!
Very nice sitting area outside, no canal view, but still great sitting area. Very friendly staff, they recommend us all the vegetarian options. We ordered couple of vegetarian Pizzas, rolled pizza and ravioli. Our waiter Samwell were very friendly and knowledgeable. Everything was amazing and their chardonnay was great with our food. Highly recommended.
I made a reservation after walking past the other day and saw this little restaurant which seemed to serve authentic Venetian cuisine, and I was glad I did. The fried vegetable plate made for a lovely antipasto to start, followed by generous portions of seafood pasta (the paccheri with pistachio pesto were truly outstanding) — not to mention their special pizza! Everything was delicious, and the service was lovely too. I’d definitely recommend booking in advance, though, as the restaurant is quite small and you may otherwise have to queue.
