This was just a bit off the beaten path at Rialto stop. The restaurant is very elegant, the service was superb. Silvia took care of us and she made sure we were taken care of from start to finish. Try the swordfish primi, it is sublime! The mussels were also delicious and their freshly baked olive stuffed breadrolls were the... More

This was our third visit in three years. Wait staff remembered my wife's special order of shrimp and mushroom pasta (spicy), before she could request it! What??!? One year later they remembered what she had to eat? Yep. Excellent food and a superb staff make this an enjoyable dinner experience. Highly recommend!

The food was delightful and the service good. This hidden away restaurant near the Rialto bridge was worth finding. The gnocchi was fantastic and the homemade spaghetti very nice.

Went to Al Paradiso in early April on a Trip Advisor recommendation. The quality of the meal was above average, but the dishes are dramatically overpriced. This was the most expensive meal during a long Italy trip, but certainly nowhere near the best meal. We spent Euro 125 for two people with a glass of wine for each of us.... More

We joined some friends for dinner here after hearing them rave from their dinner a few nights prior. The staff was most attentive & very helpful. The food was beautifully and deliciously prepared. Their Polenta is like none I've ever had--just amazing. And their Risotto---seriously---and the fresh fish entrees---and don't forget to ask about the specials! Close to the Rialto--very... More

We went for lunch one afternoon after our hotel suggested it. The food was amazing. I had spagetti with clams and my boyfriend has another equally amazing pasta dish (I'm sorry, we both couldnt remember the name), The staff was very friendly. One of my favorite meals in Venice!

We had a lovely lunch here last week, which was excellent in all respects. The proprietor served us and recommended specials that were not on the printed menu, plus a wine we had not heard of. Cannot praise it too highly.

We found our way to this small restaurant in a driving rainstorm, and felt that it was well worth the effort. We were greeted warmly at the door and soon found ourselves drooling over the choices. The restaurant serves mostly seafood, which is fresh and well prepared, but there are a few items for those who can't or don't eat... More

Our first night in Venice we ate here. It was recommended by our hotel. It was a rainy Saturday night and it was not crowded. A bit off the tourist route, but not too hard to find. A lovely place. Very elegant. We had outstanding service (they never let our water or wine glass get empty) and the food was... More
