Service was ok here…can’t tell if the Italians are just usually stern & unsmiling in demeanor or they just don’t like tourists? Food was overall good, except for the panna cotta…which had the texture of cream cheese and not the usual slight gelatinous texture we expected. Plus, the top layer of the panna cotta was a bit firm & dry…which probably means it’s been sitting out for awhile, so not fresh. Nice, waterfront location though and the weather is perfect at night for eating outside. This place is amazing!!! The service is great and the hosts will make you feel at home. They are very nice and fun. The food was also incredible! It tasted very fresh and was very flavorful, not at all a tourist trap unlike other places in Venezia. The portions are also great and you will leave feeling full and satisfied. The view is also beautiful with a great view of the canal. It is very fairly priced and it is a must visit in Venezia!! The food is good overall. We had tagliatelle con salmone and pizza tonno e cipolla. The pasta portion is rather small but for a girl is ok. Unfortunately I found something like a string in it :(. They served us plain bread in the same time with the main course, dunno what should I do with it. I understand grissini or chips, but not plain white supermarket bread. The location is great. Beautiful view.

This was the first restaurant we went to in Venice, and honestly, it couldn’t have been a better start. The food was super fresh and tasty, and the place itself is beautiful—right along the canal, with a cozy and relaxing vibe. 😋 Zakarya was really kind and took the time to explain the dishes to us, which made us feel really welcome. He was generous and full of energy, kindly gentleman!~ And Dori, wow. She’s not only beautiful and sweet, but also strong and inspiring. She’s the kind of woman you really admire. She made us feel like friends, not just customers. And Dori also very warmly offered us a taste of her special lemon liqueur, and honestly, it was one of the best drinks I’ve ever had—so fresh and delicious! 🥰😄😄 It was such a happy and memorable experience. We even took a photo together to remember this lovely moment. I really hope this restaurant keeps doing well—they both deserve all the best! 💕💕 My friend and I both really loved this restaurant and the wonderful people Dori and Zakarya and. We truly recommend this place to all future guests, and we’ll definitely tell our friends about it too. 💝🫶☺️
