What they could improve: Place a little plate on the table for bread and olive oil while waiting for food to arrive, and ask if everything is alright during the meal. Also, the food is pricey!

We are on our own during the last day stay in Venice. I looked Yelp and found this one right away. The Tour Manager highly recommended to try the squid ink dish. This restaurant happened to serve Spaghetti with squid ink. So I gave it a try! It was delicious and the homemade pasta has great texture. My wife ordered Spaghetti with duck, but she liked my selection even better. We shared Fried Calamari as appetizer, and it was fresh and yummy with light batter. The free bread that comes with meals was just okay. Overall, a great restaurant if you are staying at Murano. The restaurant is huge and could not be judge by the small entrance in the front. What a great dining experience!

Venice is great,…read morebut getting out of the crowd was such a relief at the end of the day, and part of the wonder of Murano is Versus Meridianem! This quaint, understated INCREDIBLE restaurant is located on the water, at the end of a quiet street in a quiet part of town on this quiet tranquil island. This whole island feels local, not touristy. And that is probably because it is local. This is where a lot of the locals live. And that feeling extends into this restaurant. The entire outdoor courtyard when we arrived was filled with a large family, who must've been from the island, as there was about 40 of them. It looked like the matrons birthday. Celebrating. Eating, laughing and dancing. Drinking wine of course. I wanted to join them! We had reservations and were seated inside at the window, so we could watch the sunset. It was perfect, from the appetizers, to the entrees and wine. I ate more than my share and drank so much incredible wine I was glad we were walking only a short distance back to the hotel. When we left over an hour later, the family in the courtyard was still there. I regret not bringing over a bottle of wine and joining them! I remember loving every morsel I ate and the wine wasn't extravagant, but it was excellent! Definitely worth the boat ride if you're staying in Venice. If you're on Murano, I'm jealous, I wish I was there! Definitely get a table.

It has big and pretty amazing Murano glass chandeliers which are the perfect center piece of the dining room. The huge floor to ceiling windows make it nice and bright. I had the vegetable soup which was delicious and did my unsettled stomach a world of good. Hubby had the prongs and zucchini pesto pasta (which he shared with me) Oh lord, it was so good! And we shared a prosciutto ham pizza. It was one of rhw best I have had on this trip. Because I was a little queasy for some reason, I didn't have any wine but they have a great variety. They weren't too busy, which I didn't get because the view alone is worth it, and their prices are very comparable to everywhere else we have been. Service is typical Italian, they take your order, ring it and leave you alone until you are ready. Great place!

Initial impressions--the outdoor patio seating along the canal looked lovely though was completely packed at lunchtime around 1pm. Waiting at the front of the restaurant, service looked to be quite busy, I walked inside and saw what appeared to be a manager or waitstaff having a conversation with the bartender. Not wanting to interrupt, I waited for about 5-7 minutes for them to be done, it was a bit strange because neither of them seemed to acknowledge my presence until I finally interrupted and asked if there were any tables available. Not sure if Italians expect you to make yourself known in this type of situation? In any case, we were directed to a different waitstaff and seated pretty promptly after that. Once seated, service was actually pretty great overall, though it did feel with the lunchtime rush each of the table staff had many tables to handle simultaneously. The overall ambience was warm with partial stone walls, and a bit formal, with white tablecloths and fabric-covered high-back seats. The waitstaff were polished and in uniform. The outside patio seated around 20 and interior dining rooms probably another 50 inside. We were seated in a smaller side room with tables for about dozen people which ended up being kinda nice to have some privacy. Menus come in Italian and English which was very helpful. Food and drink: Glass of chianti €5: lovely. I'm not a big chianti drinker so not quite qualified to make any judgements here, it was an enjoyable glass of red! Gingerino €3.50: this is not ginger ale, (which I knew ;) so anticipated and ordered this non-alcoholic aperitivo soda with curiosity. It's native to Venice and flavored with bitter citrus and herbs, similar to a root beer/sasparilla with citrus notes. Really enjoyed this! You can also find this in supermarkets in Venice. 30-month Parma ham with carasau bread and pears in red wine €14: ugh....that ham ((drool)). The complex sweet/tart flavors from the red wine poached pears went really well with the ham. Glad they have us a separate bread basket as it was helpful in pairing with this appetizer! Pappardelle with beef cheek stew fried leek and currants €15: delicious. Pasta was maybe a little over but beef cheek meat was tender, sauce was good and fried leeks added a bit of a crisp on top. Linguini alla Scoglio - linguini with mussels, clams, prawns, squid €19: superb. Would def recommend this. The picture doesn't do it justice, the sauce was great, not really spicy at all, the dish was chock full of seafood, quite a decent portion size (the plate was quite large), and all was cooked perfectly. Yummy! Desserts: we were too full but our German and British neighbors at the table next to us ordered a couple items and by the amount of "ooo's and aahh's" coming from the table were clearly delighted. Looking at their plates, both plating and desserts were creative and gorgeous. If I go back I'd surely order dessert here too.

It was a cute ambience, brick walls, arched walkways, colorful glass decorations. Servers were friendly. We got: Pork belly with radicchio and balsamic sauce: one of our appetizers, absolutely the best dish!!! It was a perfect mix of textures with the crispy pork belly with the moisture and crunch of the vegetables, sprinkled with some raisins and nuts adding interest, and the balsamic sauce with the perfect amount of acidity. Worked so well together, refreshing, loved it! Burrata eggplant appetizer: it was ok, cooked tomatoes were amazingly sweet and just wish there was more of it. The burrata itself doesn't have much flavor, but that's the same as what I've experienced elsewhere in Italy. Maybe that's normal? Eggplants were fine. It came with 2 chip-like things which were a nice touch. Beef cheek with purple potato and fried leek: meat seemed roasted, was impressively soft/tender. Purple potato was a fun color and sauce was ok. Fried leeks were a nice crunchy aspect. Overall though, it was a very mild dish and I wasn't blown away. Spaghetti with black garlic and langoustine: a little salty but otherwise pretty good, spaghetti was bouncy and cooked perfectly. Langoustine was slightly raw, I think intentional but not my preference. My partner cracked into the shell and got to some sweet sweet langoustine meat--delicious! Actually the dish reminded me a little of Chinese chow mein... Mousse cake: so beautiful! Loved the presentation. There were a few layers inside the half dome. It was a bit sweet but with the raspberry sauce was perfect. Also got the ginseng coffee which was a bit sweet but pleasant and my partner got the Machiatone which was good. Overall pleased with the experience! Loved the creativity and attention to detail.
