Considering the service and the food, I would rate this place average. Adding the money spent for two fresh squeezed orange plus 2 panini, the rating will drop to terrible ( 44.50 Euro in total ). We live only once, having a break seated and served in San Marco square by admiring the " Laguna" in front of your eyes... More

Nice location, right by the sea and San Marco square. The important thing is to decide, whether you want to order yourself or sit down and have a waiter take care of you. The second option is very pricey, compared to self service. If you want tasty ice cream for reasonable price, just go inside the store and make the... More

Prices in window said hot chocolate 3.5 euros and coffee 2.5 euros but it doesn't say that if you drink it outside you will have a bill of 27 euros !!! Their excuse was that it is due to waiter service but we ordered inside and went in to get the bill. Outrageous cost for three hot drinks and there... More

We stopped there for a drink this April while waiting for our boat trip to Murano. I went up to the bar to order two hot chocolates and a coffee (advertised on their door as 3 euros). I was asked to take a seat and the waiter would bring it out to us. Had the drink then I went in... More

Well you just have to taste the icecream if you are in Italy-if the queues are too long there are other places where you can buy lovely ice-cream. Enjoy!

Located in St Mark's square just opposite the Doge's palace on the corner leading to the park. Very good gelato and reasonably priced, especially being in St Mark's Square. We went around the corner to the park to enjoy it.

If you go to Venice, you have to have an ice cream at this gelateria. It is in St Mark's square just opposite the Doge's palace on the corner leading to the park. It is the most delicious I have tasted and the price is extremely reasonable, especially being in St Mark's Square - Euros 2.50 for a one scoop... More
