Very enjoyable tasting menu. The Venetian Cuttlefish Potato Mousse is unforgettable.
It was a great 30th wedding anniversary celebration dinner. The garden atmosphere was superb. Chief’s dishes were outstanding and the service was amazing. Definitely recommend here.
A great experience visiting. Food was excellent, highly recommend the Ravioli stuffed with Sea Bass. A nice quite restaurant around all the hussle of Venice
This place was an absolute delight to go to. Was recommended by a friend. The food was amazing, I don’t eat seafood and I found plenty of delicious options. My husband loves seafood and really enjoyed the sea bass ravioli. The glass of prosecco when you sit down was the perfect thing after a long flight and day. The wine we got was so delicious! I would recommend this place to anyone traveling here!
