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.

This place is hidden in a small alley so take your map when going there. We ate sea food and it was excellent, so fresh! Also, the chocolate moose is to die for. Definitely a must!

The food here was just delicious and the service was very friendly and attentive. I wasn't initially too sure about the decor when we peaked in from the street, but when we went back later in the evening we realised that this was just the patio area that was closed for winter! The inside of the restaurnt itself was lovely... More

Perfect first impressions of quality italian dining in a family run restaurant in the heart of Venice. Recommended by our hotel. Very small so worth booking and almost like dining in a family home. Very special place and run by people who just know how to do it well and how it should be done without all the silly bells... More
