    Sitting down to eat
    robert s.

    Do not fail to go to this restaurant if you are in Venice. My tattoo artist, a Venetian resident, recommended this place unsolicited. She said it was popular with Venetians because the food was very good and the prices were very reasonable to moderate. It is a few blocks off the popular tourist tracks and well worth the steps. My wife had the pork tenderloin with a rosemary cream sauce....Lovely sauce that I need to try to emulate at home. Pork line was tender and cooked masterfully. There was a polenta type potato side that will cause a delightful swoon. My gnocchi with shrimp and scallops was stunning. As was the second plate of tuna in a Rosemary mashed potatoes. Our wine was a Dolcetta d'Alba for only 30€ and is a bargain by American measures. The place has a pleasantly amusing ambiance, and very good and inexpensive pizza for the kids. My children are everything put in front of them.

    An amazing seafood meal! Grilled octopus, cuttlefish Venetian duke, and spaghetti with seafood

    Had probably one of the best octopus dish im we've ever had! Nicely spiced and amazingly tender - perfectly cooked. The seafood pasta tasted of seafood and just what I had wanted. Overall it was a wonderful experience and we were so happy to have found this gem. Exactly what we had hoped for!

    This place rocks. Carbonara was the best I've had in Italy. House wine is great and cheap. They represent their city well!

    2 words- food poisoning. We came here for dinner on our first night in Venice because of the great…read morereviews. The staff was so kind and helpful! We sat indoors which felt so nice with the AC! The food and drinks were okay taste-wise. I would give the taste a 6.5 out of 10. Good yet not tons of flavor. The food was good for filling our tummies in the moment but not good enough to return. The worst part - food poisoning. I had the calamari and boyyyyy was I sick afterwards. It turned our experience from "okay" to "ouchhhhh". Unfortunately, we will not be returning for more. :(

    Was able to make a reservation for 3 somehow on some local platform (spouse) for 8 pm Sunday…read moreevening in June. Other walk in accommodated as much as possible. Arrived a bit early and seated at window seat inside immediately. The inside is cozy but adequate. The staff hustled and were very efficient and friendly. We ordered the seafood special based upon walking in and seeing a huge pan on fresh seafood on table and thus made it easy for me and the kid to decide. It was their house special at 35 euros per person (minimum 2). Included lobster and a bunch of shrimp, clams, mussels, and calamari in a red broth. Also two large scallops. Takes at least 30 minutes to prep so need the appetizers to get you by. The also close out the special by tossing in pasta after your done with the seafood into the remaining broth. Full disclosure it's a mess to eat. Must use hands. The cover you with s bib. It was delicious. The spouse does not like briny seafood so she didn't eat much but more than enough for 3 (except not for the scallops and lobster portion). We started with a few appetizers. Spouse had the lasagna. It looked good and home made but again I ignored it due to the mountain in front of me. A few drinks and bottle of water. I wish the pasta was available before the end but understand they want to toss it into your pan of sauce. I had originally asked to order a pasta to complement but they said it came with a pasta after ( so I agreed ). Obviously we are tourist so I can't take extra home of which would have been plenty. Total cost about 143 euros. (No additional taxes or tip). Credit card available but we needed to roll home to hotel so left 150 cash on table.
