A wonderful restaurant in Venice! The tables outside, by the canal, are limited, so ensure that you have a reservation if you want to sit outdoors. The ambience indoors is not too bad though. Food was amazing. We had a beautifully cooked risotto, which was very tasty, paired with a nice, crisp white wine recommended by the staff there. Service was great! And this was one of the better meals we've had in Italy. Thumbs up! 👍🏻👍🏻

This place has a really good atmosphere. The bruschetta was honestly the best thing we had, super fresh and full of flavor. The 4 cheese gnocchi was decent, just a nice, simple dish. The lobster spaghetti was okay, but a bit of a letdown—barely any lobster meat in it, and the sauce felt a little thin, kinda watery and too light. Still, overall it was a good experience and I’d come back, just maybe order a bit differently next time.

The place looks very nice and cozy, perfect for a romantic date! And the waiters were very nice and the service here is top-tier. We reserved dinner for 9pm but we came a little earlier and since they didn't have an empty table (which is understandable because we came early) they kindly asked us to wait 10 mins and even gave us wine. And they did this to everyone who come early which is very sweet. Then we ordered our food. We got seafood and the dinner was very good. After the meal we got desserts (panna cotta and tiramisu) which were amazing and at the very end they gave us lemonchello on the house! It was a very good experience, I loved it and would recommend it to everyone!
