This was our last night in Italy and it was the best way to end our trip there. The food was absolutely amazing, the drinks were wonderful, and the service was spot on. Everyone was super friendly and welcoming, and helped me order in Italian as I am learning the language (and am not great). I can’t forget to mention the seating. We didn’t have a reservation but we arrived around 6pm and left around 8:30/8:45. They sat us outside next to the water which is exactly what I wanted. If I ever make it back it Venice, I would make a special trip to this place.I didn’t grab everyone’s name, but Antonio and Valentino, BRAVO!!!!!! Great people here.

Just perfect meals, extremely delicious, beautifully served. The place couldn't be better - you can simply sit and look at water, listen to waves and enjoy this perfect cuisine. We spent about 120 euros for two, without alcohol. It is worth its money for sure, a must visit if you want to try unusual Venetian dishes

This is hands down one of the best restaurant experiences that I have had in the world.From the moment we stepped in to the moment we left we had a great experience.Starting with the staff, from the owner to each waiter, each member contributed to our experience. All were very attentive, helpful and kind. We really felt that they were interested in us personally and wanted us to have a great experience.For the food, each dish was beautifully plated and delicious.The menu has a nice variety and the prices are what you would expect from an upscale eatery.If you’re in Venice and looking for fine dining, I definitely recommend this place.

The staff is so friendly. You can eat outside while looking out over the canal. The atmosphere is sooo nice indoors. We sat down to eat outside and went indoors because it was so cold, and the staff kindly moved us around. The oil pasta is so delicious!!

I came across this restaurant when I couldn’t find anywhere else on Valentines Day… and I wouldn’t have chosen anywhere else!! The food was incredible and the service even more so. We started with the crudi which was delicious (and scallops!) and had the best turbot I’ve ever eaten. The staff went over and above and were lovely people. Finished off with tiramisu which was equally amazing. This restaurant was a highlight of our Venice trip :)

Towards the end of our 2 week trip in Italy we found this gem. Best food we have had this whole trip and we have eaten at many other high quality restaurants. The seafood risotto was amazing. All of the staff were friendly and attentive especially our waiter, Valentino. He was sweet and really personalized our experience. We will be back!

The food was excellent, I highly recommend the raw fish platter, octopus, and spaghetti with clams. The service is incredible. and the view is fantastic! We were able to sit right on the canal, watching the board go by at sunset.

It was the best experience on my trip to Italy. Nine members of my family arrived in the evening, but there was no river seat for a large number of people. A seat was created by waiting for an hour, and the staff quickly organized the seats. Both the meal and wine were perfect, and above all, the atmosphere was full of Venice's atmosphere.The staff was handsome and kind, and the whole family counted as the best experience in Italy. Please remember that nine families from Korea were impressed by your kindness and hospitality.
