Terrific lunch with great service just near the San Basilio terminal. Cool inside on a hot summer day. Select Spritz was great and the food was first rate. Some good humour and very good service from Amir. I will come back when next in Venice. Crème Brûlée was delicious.
We really enjoyed eating here. The service was great, staff very helpful and professional. The food was very tasty. I would recommend this place!!! :))
Amir was top notch. Very prompt and reliable. They thought they were out of what I wanted but he went about and beyond to make sure I was happy. And who could forget, limoncello. 🤌🏼
We arrived in Venice today and wanted to find somewhere close for dinner to where we were staying and found this lovely restaurant. Great atmosphere, wonderful servers, delicious food. They made our experience personal and fun. We laughed all night! Definitely worth it.
