This restaurant was the absolute best part of my trip to Italy. The owner was warm and showed so much hospitality. It felt like family. The seafood pasta was the best I’ve ever had!

This was the absolute best meal I had and all of Venice. The restaurant was booked for a group from Thailand that was visiting, but the waiter absolutely accepted us, politely and even serenade us with the saxophone. They were friendly and attentive.

Warm and friendly service paired with delicious food! The bread arrived fresh, hot, and smoky—absolutely loved it. The squid ink spaghetti & the grilled fish was delightful, and the meal ended perfectly with a smooth caramel pudding.

Seafood pasta was so good, the mussels had that salty sea taste and pasta not too soft not too hard, just fine. Pizza looked simple but crust thin and cheese with prosciutto worked nice together, maybe a bit oily but tasty. Place felt cozy, bit crowded with tourists but still some italian charm hanging in the air, hard to explain. Prices, well, not cheap ofc, but for Venice I guess normal, you kind of pay also for where you are sitting. Staff smiled, sometimes looked in rush, one waiter had a blue shirt half untucked, but food came without waiting crazy long. I keep thinking maybe next time try another pasta, felt authentic enough.
