We had New Year Eve dinner in this restaurant and it was a really good quality food there. I picked up this restaurant because of TripAdvisor rate and had a lot of E-mail communication with Larisa(owner of this restaurant) to make a reservation for New Year Eve dinner and finally we agree to make this reservation and all of us...

A delightful and romantic restaurant, with very charming, attentive service and absolutely beautiful food - we had such a wonderful meal here on Christmas night, we came back for our last evening in Venice. It would be hard to name our favourite foods as all the dishes we enjoyed here were superb but to tempt your tastebuds in advance, the... More

I love food and when I travel I seek out the best food in the city. I am glad I booked this restaurant ahead of my arrival. I would not have been able to get a table otherwise. They have two settings, the early setting starts at 6.30pm. For lovers of food, this restaurant is a must when you are... More

Nothing wrong with the food or place but it's by no means the best place to dine in Venice. There was no atmosphere at all - almost uncomfortable really and food was pretty average. The price wasn't exactly the cheapest either. More

Must have been a bad night having read the other reviews but felt that the restaurant lacked atmosphere. Our first course of pasta with veal stew was delicious, for second course I had steak with pepper sauce & my husband had grilled mixed fish, both were tasty but by no means the best dishes we ate whilst in Venice (see...

We eat at this restaurant twice during our stay in venice, the food was different, exciting and had a taste of freshness that is difficult to describe but it was excellent. An example of this was the asparagus and scallops tortellini- superb! The restaurant is only small and every table was occupied each night, so it is best to book. More

My wife had seen this place on a recommended list from somewhere, and since it was our first visit to Venice and we didn't want to eat on the cruise ship, we decided to seek it out. And seek it out you must, as it's tucked away, but well worth the search. Having a smart phone with GPS is a... More
