When you visit Venice for the first time it's easy to get lost. However, you will always find your way back. This restaurant might not be easy to find but don't give up... It's more then worth it when you find it. Very fresh, very tasty and not realy that expensive. Owners are very friendly!

Decided to dine in this hidden gem after reading all those reviews in tripadvisor. And I'm glad that we had our dinner there as the food were all superb! We took some time to search for the restaurant, you would miss it if you don't look into those small alleys. That was the only time we actually used our map... More

This wonderful romantic restaurant is tucked away and off the beaten trap a little way north of the Rialto but it was handily close to our hotel (Al Ponte Mocenigo - also excellent!) so we had our first meal here on the evening of our arrival. What a perfect start to our stay in Venice - a city often criticised... More

Easily the best restaurant that we visited in Venice. The food was absolutely delicious, used the freshest of ingredients and the portions were generous. The service was also warm and friendly. I would highly recommend a visit.

We dined at this wonderful restaurant based on TripAdvisor reviews and were not disappointed. The quaint little courtyard dining area was the perfect setting for our last night in Venice. Wonderful seafood, a lovely hostess and great atmosphere all combined into a memorable dining experience. Highly recommended.

This restaurant served up the most fresh, delicious and beautifully presented meal that you can't just eat there once... We went back a second night. Also they will cater for and ensure that any gluten free (senza gluten) diner is not left disappointed and looking on as others enjoy the delicious freshly made desserts. Chocolate Mousse and Pannacotta never tasted... More

Came for my wife's special birthday and we were not disappointed. Wonderful food and wine served perfectly by the lovely hostess. A real gem of a place and worth looking for - quiet and romantic. Just excellent.
