The cicchetti were the most delicious we tried in Venice, served with incredibly fresh and tasty bread. The Aperol was excellent. The staff were extremely polite, helpful, and always smiling! Try getting a table outside to fully enjoy the atmosphere of Venice! Highly recommended

The staff is very kind and helpful, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the food is excellent. I tried the Sicilian meatballs and caponata — absolutely delicious, with authentic flavors and great attention to detail. A place I highly recommend to anyone visiting Venice!

Shared 6 different cichetti, a serving of shrimp, and cheese platter between 3 of us. Food was well presented, tasty and good portioned. Wines by the glass were all great recommendation and paired really well with the food. Staff were affable and know their stuff

Locally recommended. One of the best meals we had this trip. Fresh, tasty, imaginative and exceptional. You should walk thru Venice and just eat here. We had the degustation menu with matching wines. Absolutely mind blowning. Every dish was a stand-out.

Very nice spot for lunch when you’re visiting the biennial. Food is good. Service was friendly. I enjoyed sitting outside. And then we went back for apero hour.

Extremely underrated place! Super friendly staff, small and rather sophisticated menu, really nice selection of proseccos. They even kindly agreed to prepare some pasta for our kids off-menu ;)

Recommended by a guide we used. Wonderful meal, very attentive owner. We had to leave early due to a wine tour” no problem”. Weren’t sure what wines to pair with our selections “ I’ll choose for you” . One of our favorite meals this trip.

Fantastic place at the Via Garibaldi which is usually packed (and for good reason!) but we managed to get a table. The atmosphere is soft and dreamy, the cold cuts refined and complex, and the service warm and efficient. A few words in my broken Italian prompted a big smile and some conversation, followed by good food and even more amazing wine. I can definitely recommend this place to people who are looking for a local dining experience, just make a reservation if you can as you might not get a table!
