    My son took me and my fame here for dinner. It's a party of 10 people. Our reservation was for 6:30…read morepm, but they accommodate us 30 minutes early. The place is beautifully and tastefully decorated, clean and spacious. This place is know for their pizza & tacos- yes they have tacos to cater to Americans. I ordered the Paella, it was so tasty and has a lot of seafood. Others in my party ordered different pizzas and tacos, we try to share each other's food so we can have a taste of different dishes. The fish tacos is something that I highly recommend and the paella. Of course since we are in Italy, you cannot go wrong ordering a pizza. The wait to be served was not very long, the wait staff took our drink orders right away, and served them to us promptly. While in Italy restaurant, if you are not picky on your wine always order the house wine, it's a lot cheaper.

    ostrich steak and the best salsiccia e patate pizza I've had. (update: hearing rumors the ostrich…read moresteaks are no longer being offered. get the pizza!!) I haven't had salsiccia e patate all over Italy, but this one is dang tasty. Like, I think about its flavors sometimes. The pizza alone draws the fifth star for me, for its simple perfection. I'm sure they have other tasty options on their huge menu, but these are the ones I particularly enjoy. Other notes: the restaurant is fairly giant, so it'll accommodate large parties well. Cial de Brent is attached. I've heard rumors the small bar can get rowdy at night, but haven't seen with my own [blurry] eyes.

    A cute little terrace, tucked away near our hotel. On a lovely night it was a lovely courtyard with…read moreexcellent service. All of our food was absolutely excellent fresh and tasty. Beautifully seasoned. I appreciated the helpful. Waiters suggestions. With wine, too. This is one of the better restaurants. We ate it on our trip, and I would cheerfully go back.

    This was the best food we ate in Venice. We almost went back again, but thought it best to keep…read moretrying other places. It's off the beaten path on a quiet street in a more 'locals' area. We stayed at Domina Ca Home Zusto (great hotel option) which was just a block from here so we passed it often, and finally decided we should try it since it was often packed. They take reservations.. not a bad idea to reserve a spot outside. The service was great. They were happy to make suggestions as needed, and were attentive to when to serve the next course and so forth. The wine list was great, and they brought everyone a complimentary glass of Prosecco to start which was nice. The food was fantastic. If you like good cheese, order the cheese plate either as an app or for dessert.. we ordered it an as an app, and had some before, and the rest after, dinner. For our main courses we had the sea bass ravioli and the sliced beef tenderloin. The sea bass ravioli came on an asparagus puree. Both were incredible, and cooked to perfection. When we sat down it was pretty empty (we were having an early dinner) but by the time we were done all seats were filled with locals and tourists, and I didn't hear a single negative remark from anyone, just complimentary comments all around. We happened to be sitting next to a man who was by himself, and turned out to be a chef from Rome. He could not stop complimenting the food, even talking to himself, and kept sending compliments to the chef. He literally ordered around five plates of food just because he wanted to try more stuff because he liked it so much. They ended up bringing him a free dessert too. We will be back to Venice, and back to this restaurant.
