    Found this place down the back alley from our hotel (Hotel Rialto) which faces the Grand Canal. The alley also leads to one of the Pandora shops and Max Co. I quickly checked Yelp and was happy with the reviews so we took a chance. We went kind of early for Italian dinner at 7pm. There was no one else in the lovely dining room. They we're playing a soft American sexy time type music (haha). Very friendly staff greeted us and took our coats and gave us the menus. Menu is 90% seafood. We opted for a 4 course meal. 2 pastas, shared a veal course and mixed veggies (by recommendation) and a chocolate souffle. For reference we have been in Italy for a week now (Rome, Florence, Tuscany, Venice, Burano) and this pasta was #3 of the best we have had so far. I had the pesto with shrimp which was light, perfectly salted, and not too heavy on the cheese. Shrimp was cooked perfectly, not overdone, and peeled and cleaned properly. My husband had the ravioli with white dry martini sauce. The portion was small (5 pieces) with cherry tomatoes and shrimp. Although sauce was creamy, it was very light, both pastas were very fresh. Food came with long bread sticks as well as baguette slices with butter (odd). Bread was pretty good, seasoned, easy to eat on its own even if you're supposed to use it to sop up the amazing sauce (which we did). We could have licked our plates clean. The veal cutlet came with some kind of light apple (?) sauce with a side of mashed potatoes. This wasn't our favorite, but worked well with the mixed veggies (grilled eggplant, zucchini, tomato and bell peppers). And finally we had a lovely, rich chocolate souffle that came with ice cream and whipped cream. Perfect end to an amazing meal. The service was 5 star, not quite fine dining, but attentive without being intrusive, friendly and seemed like they wanted to be there. They had a €40 5 course option, but we didn't like all the options, it wasn't even mentioned. All 3 servers spoke excellent English and even helped us a bit with simple Italian phrases. I told him I was pregnant (and couldn't drink wine). He later asks me what the gender is, when I replied "it's a boy" he congratulated my husband and shook his hand. I asked him what if I had said girl, he jokingly said "better luck next time." We had a good laugh. It was one of the pricier meals we have had, a little under €100 with a €3.50 cover charge. Also got a half bottle of volipocella table wine. Like most table wine, just palatable, nothing to write home about. If you have trouble finding this place, know that it's worth the effort! Good luck!

    This place was such a find, off the main tourist path down an impossibly narrow and charming alley, this restaurant is not your pizza stop! Delicious pasta prepared with love and pride. The owner himself served us and was incredibly attentive and gracious. The restaurant is cozy and lovely, great for a small group of friends or a romantic date. The prices are very reasonable, plan on a slow relaxed evening with a charming host. By the way we came around 10:00pm after a baroque and opera concert, really wonderful evening in Venice with our kids

    This place will always have a special place in my heart. It was the perfect setting for my marriage proposal to my girl friend. We started off with a really good appetizer of sea bass and prawns carpaccio. The fish was so fresh and tasty. We had a really good bottle of wine that was recommended by the waiter that was only 30 or 35 euros. Our main dish was great as well. My love had the lobster with pappardelle. I had a pappardelle dish as well. Both were amazing. We had a private table to ourselves. Our timing was perfect because the restaurant was not very busy so that added to the intimacy. The waitress Meshu was great and took a video of my proposal. The entire staff congratulated us with a bottle of champagne and tiramisu. We were the last ones in the restaurant and Meshu made it more special by playing a song Here and Now by Luther Vandross. Me and my bride to be danced slowly together as we embraced and cried joyfully. Thank you all for making our night even more special. We will always remember how great your made our night! See you again!

    For our last night in Venice, we wanted a good meal so we wandered around for a while until someone gave us a "ticket" for free cover at their restaurant. There are plenty of people out in Venice trying to get you to eat at their restaurant, but for some reason we decided to give this one a try and I'm glad we did! The man lead us down an alley to the restaurant and said he'd give us the "best seat in the house," which made sense because nobody else was in there, which was a little worrisome. Now I don't know why more people weren't there! The food was pretty gourmet. I got a pesto pasta with shrimp and loved it! Bread came as an appetizer and we ordered their house white wine. We were brought some complimentary limoncello and cookies after our meal which was great! Good service and a wonderful atmosphere. Much nicer inside than we expected! For the good and atmosphere, the bill was very affordable! AND, there's free wifi which is always a plus in Venice!

    See all

    I had a risotto that was fantastic, but my husband's pappardelle ai frutti di mare was out of this world!!!
