I have been multiple times and am always greeted promptly upon entering and seated right away. The server I've had greets us right away and is excellent. He recommends, suggests, and delivers. Prices are extremely reasonable and a big party can leave paying much less than almost every other place. Pasta dishes are either large or REALLY large. I like the the Fisherman's Spaghetti, however they have Bolognese and vegetarian options as well. Desserts are great, many options, but the lemonciello sorbet is great. Any choice is really a good choice. Atmosphere is good with a hint of blue lights, stone, and trees. If you know you know. Loud, so if seeking a quiet and isolated table, seek elsewhere. It is vibrant and active. Alcohol - stick with wines or frizzante. Aperitif and digestive are also available. Kids? Don't worry ... Water, Soda, juice are available.

The cook hacked into a freshly cured chunk of cow and cut our slab of meat. My portion was a whopping 1 1/2 plus lbs. Believe it or not I was able to eat almost the entire thing. It was full of flavor and deliciously cooked. We ordered veggie plates to share and my favorite were the green beans. Let's not forget that every meal is served with fresh bread. We also ordered a liter of their red table wine. It was yummo! This will become a family favorite for sure.

A great family style restaurant. If you are looking for great cuts of grilled beef, this is the…read moreplace. Bring your appetite. They will cook your beef to order from rare to well done (you'll get a bit of a surprised look if you ask for well done but they will still cook it to your liking). They have three interior dining rooms and one outdoor covered patio each with their own focolare (hearths) where the meat is cooked over wood embers. Service is uber friendly. I have eaten here several times over the past several years when I visit the area from the US and I have never been disappointed. The decor is simple, rustic with a hunting motif. If you order too much food, the management will also gently inform you that you might wait to see what you are served before you commit. They will quickly and happily prepare more, if you like. Everything is served family style. They always offer a digestive beverage at the end of the meal, on the house.

Venice is an expensive city. One of the first indicators of this was the cost of accommodation…read more When I booked my hotel back in January for a July trip most recommended hotels along the Grand Canal or in the San Marco sestiere were giving me quotes of at the minimum €150, with the majority being somewhere between €180-€200/night. Even with these rates I refused to stay outside the main city just for a cheaper rate - many guidebooks and other travelers warn specifically against this as staying outside Venice proper would deteriorate sightseeing quality. To help me out with research I turned to booking.com, which is now the preferred site for hotels in Europe. When going there I was able to find this hotel (8.8 overall, 9.5 location) and from its listing it was exactly what I needed. While the Dorsoduro sestiere is a little further away from the major sights it is a quieter neighborhood and the hotel's location being midway between the Zattere Alilaguna stop (to and from VCE), the Zattere vaporetto stop (to and from Giudecca Island) and most importantly the Accademia bridge and vaporetto stop (gateway to everything else in Venice) sold me. Booking directly I was able to secure a rate of €126/night for a single bed. The room is typical for European standards - small yet homey with a nautical theme. Bed was clean and comfortable. Bathroom is small too but at least contained the basic necessities. There was a convenient plug located near the headboard. There's also complimentary wifi for hotel guests. Hotel breakfast is included in the room rate but food served consist mainly of pastries and fruit and vegetables, standard continental European fare. Main protein consists of hard boiled eggs. They did have a few selection of juices. Some days the fruits and veggies were not fresh but this one I blame on the July weather if anything. The front desk staff were very kind, especially the lady that greeted me in the morning before I left for the day and one of the guys who was there one evening. Being a solo traveler it was if they were taking some precautions of their own to ensure I felt safe and at the least enjoying myself in a foreign city. My experiences with this hotel, specifically finding it through booking.com and my interactions with front desk staff I now consider gold standard for any hotel in a city in Europe. It solidified what is now my hotel standard for solo travel - boutique hotel located in the center of the city (or central to the major sights) that has access to one or major public transportation routes for getting around the city.

Ordered pizza and linguini with seafood. 2 disappointing meals in one day.. Come on Venezia.. Whats going on here. Pizza was just ok... My pasta dish looked like it was done and waited for pizza to be done. Taste was OK nothing special. It was not bad but was not that good either.. Oh well at least I was full.
