A hidden gem in Venice — unforgettable!
We had an absolutely fantastic dinner here. The food was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented — every course felt like it was made with love. The ambiance is warm, intimate, and authentically Venetian, with cozy vibes that make you want to linger all evening.
Our waitress, Laura, was a true standout — friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about what she does. She made the experience even more special.
One minor miss: the tiramisu. It had an unusual aftertaste — almost like goat milk — and didn’t quite match the excellence of the rest of the meal. But honestly, that’s a small blip in what was otherwise an amazing night.
Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for quality Venetian food with charm and heart. Will absolutely return!

The best seafood restaurant we’ve visited in Venice! A generous platter of seafood and fish in perfectly crispy tempura – delicious shrimp, calamari, mussels, and salmon, served with fresh bread and light, homemade white wine. An ideal dinner for two at a fair price!
We first discovered this restaurant back in 2021, and after four years we returned to once again enjoy its incredible flavors. The lovely owner and the chefs welcomed us warmly and even let us stay past closing time – such a kind and memorable experience.
We wholeheartedly recommend this place to any couple – a peaceful, atmospheric outdoor restaurant, perfect for a romantic evening.

This restaurant was run by husband and wife. The main’ I ordered was pasta with sea food, it was tasty but we had a plate full of Pasta, and very little seafood except for what you can see in the shells, we had calamari sliced very thinly. My friend ordered scallops and asparagus with pasta, she had a plate full of pasta, one scallop sliced very small and 1 asparagus sliced very finely. It was our most expensive meal in Venice but definitely not value for money.
The Tiramisu was divine.

Fabulous home style meal in the hole in the wall restaurant in the San Polo area. There is no canal view, but they do have an outdoor style seating area which was covered we went due to rain. This delightful place is run by a husband and wife team. We first tried to walk-in on a Friday evening without a booking but unfortunately they were fully booked, so we booked a table for the next night.
We had two starters (Mussels & Clams with Toasts + Mixed Raw Seafood Platter Venetian Style) and two pastas for main (Tagliolini with Scallops & Asparagus + Tagliolini with Mixed Seafood). All portions were quite large so we were full at the end of the meal and couldn’t have dessert. The starters were definitely the highlight for us, the broth of the Mussels & Clams was so tasty and the raw seafood platter was very fresh.
The service by Larisa was friendly and efficient all on her own, plus Virgilio’s wonderful cooking. Also very reasonably priced. A great meal and would definitely recommend booking ahead to avoid disappointment!

Best tagliata I’ve had so far in Italy, with veal. Actually the best pasta. Cuttlefish ink pasta was awesome. Tuna steak was extremely generous and was unreal. Venetian style fish platter appetizer was unique and very good. We liked the sea asparagus and sardines in that platter. We had the house white wine and it was an excellent pairing with our meal and was very clean and smooth. This place should be packed but there were only a few people here, very intimate experience. We also liked the fish with orange sauce. Amazing service, and the food came out quickly too. Felt like a mom and pop restaurant in a wonderful way. Finished with limoncello and a wonderful cappuccino.

Wow!! Just Wow! We ordered six different things and they were all Fantastic. The waitress was attentive and knowledgeable. The cook, her husband, comes out and greats you as well. They take pride in their restaurant and it was such a pleasure to be a guest.

Ah, to say this was special is an understatement. Tucked away from all the touristy spots, this is the perfect spot for a dinner date. Me and my husband were traveling for our honeymoon and after a week and a half, we began to catch ourselves comparing the restaurants to this one. This one just is the winner every time – especially if you want a true seafood risotto. They’re very gracious with the amount of seafood as well within it!! Do keep in mind, a true risotto takes time to make and the owner – she warned us about it. We ordered the mixed seafood (a venitian classic I believe) and mussels/clams (super flavorful) which were great starters to hold us over for the risotto. Then the risotto came out shortly after and it stood no chance (we used the bread to clean up the left over sauce, flavor was amazing). But what really won over is the chef and his wife. They’re both such great, down to earth, hospitable people who truly want to bring a great venetian experience to you through food. They were so kind to us, and I was very happy to have left this special place being able to give my thanks to the chef/husband for such a great meal. It was our first meal of the honeymoon adventure, so this place holds a special place in our hearts. Their panna cotta was also amazing, so it’s a must try. 🙂

Amazing restaurant in a very quiet area of Venice. When a restaurant is full of locals, you know it’s good. Loved the food and the service. They are so friendly . When we were leaving, they asked us if we needed directions to where we were going. Amazing!
