    Stumbled up Dolcevita as we wandered around Dorsoduro, it is a really great spot to grab cicchetti and coffee/an aprol spritz. Probably had the best flavored cicchetti here so far! Great ambience inside with fair amount of seating. The octopus, pepper/spicy and salami cicchetti are a must try!

    Amazing place for drinks and Appertivos before dinner. Great prices! They have a special for €7 Spritz and 2 tapas. They were delicious!

    This place is great for a quick afternoon snack. We stopped in randomly because it started raining outside and we're so glad we did. Had an aperol spritz, strawberry spritz, and 4 cichetis. You can point and order at the case and they place them on a warm stone. Generous portions and interesting flavor combos! The total was around $17 for the 2 drinks and cichetis

    Cicchetti and spritz. Mine was NA too

    Stopped in randomly and it was a great find. Best cicchetti we've had yet. Jamon and radicchio, prosciutto and Gorgonzola, turkey and vegetable cheese, jamon and soft cheese with pistachio. Also a pistachio cream croissant. They had a special for a spritz and two cicchetti for 7.50 which was a deal. Cool atmosphere and very friendly staff. Highly recommend

    They have it all. Great pastry with pistachio filling and excellent cappuccino for us. This area is wonderful to checkout. Great staff and service

    What a wonderful little neighborhood bar. We went there almost every morning for coffee and a pastry over our one month stay just around the corner. The coffee is perfectly prepared and the pastry as fresh as can be. And...(and this is a BIG "and") the two women who work there will absolutely brighten your day. Elisa and Ina are so friendly, fun, helpful, and efficient that you will leave there feeling great, and having had a delicious breakfast. What a great way to start your day. Oh, and the afternoon offering of fresh and varied cicchetti and spritzes is just what the doctor ordered after a day of sightseeing. So, if you are in the area and want to start your day off right, go see Elisa and Ina. Let them take care of you...and put a little something in that tip can...it is well deserved. Tell them Mike and Kaye sent you.

    This place is Amazing- make a point to try it. 3 pastries 2 espresso all for 7 Euros in Venice- I'll take it. They also speak Spanish to English and of course Italian flawlessly in one sentence if they have to no problem. The pomegranate pastry, pecan pastry were flaky fresh and the chocolate croissant which they squeeze the chocolate cream fresh in layers INSIDE the pastry made to order were all beyond excellent

    My husband and I stopped by here after having dinner across the street on a previous night. We loved the view, location, and in the morning, it was packed! There are plenty of delicious options. We ended up going with the pistachio croissants, lattes, and ham/ cheese multi grain sandwich to share. The pistachio croissants were lightly filled with a delicious pistachio paste and the overall texture was wonderful. The cost is reasonable and they offer to go or eat in. The latte is delicious, good size (A bit smaller than we're used to, but perfectly fine!). The sandwich was delicious and they heated up for us as well, making it even better. This is a great grab and go place or a quick traditional Italian breakfast. Not too heavy, plenty of pastry variety, and a coffee to sip on your journey. It is located on the way to a vaporetto stop or San Marco.

    Excellent! My family and I were walking by and noticed this beautiful day. The bread with cheese and tomatoes, were yummy. The hot tea with honey hit the spot, and the staff is very nice. Will be back!

    First stop after long flight. The spritz and cichetti were a nice welcome to Venice. Appreciate the kind and patient service as well!

If you go here, you're going for the experience and you should know what you're in for. They give you a heads up that there is a per person cover charge (8 euros) to sit outside and listen to the orchestra, but the orchestra is incredible I have to say. Just the experience of sitting at a beautiful, historic spot on Piazza San Marcos with the orchestra playing is something in itself. The menu has something for everyone, my husband got a spritz and I had a hot tea. Neither were the best thing we ever had by any means but again, you're there for the experience. I was disappointed the tea was just a tea bag that I had to steep myself. We did not have a reservation, just sat ourselves outside at a table for two. Staff was professional but not particularly quick or friendly.

The menu is extensive but we were wanting to try the Affogato Florian and get something light for lunch, we ordered the Salmone affumicato del Circle Polare Artico. The Salmon was fresh and had a great smoked flavor, it was a serving enough for 2 people to share or one really hungry person! The Salmon was served with toasted bread and butter. The Affogato Florian came with hot chocolate and a cookie with the restaurant name on it - it was a nice treat to have for the afternoon and whether its cold or hot outside it covers the weather in any situation with hot chocolate and ice cream! Service was on point with the waitstaff in white jackets and were attentive. The ambiance was pleasant with antique mirrors and elegant furnishings - it was an experience to be had in Venice

Instead of handling it professionally, a tall blonde employee immediately snapped at me, saying, "Why would you put your card down? That's not your bill." I apologized right away, but she continued to act incredibly rude--rolling her eyes, shaking her head, and talking under her breath while processing the refund. It only got worse from there. When I reached for a slice that had been placed in front of me, she barked, "No, that's not yours." At that point, I felt completely unwelcome and didn't even want the food anymore, so I asked for a refund so I could leave. She refused, claiming the pizza was already in the oven and that I "had to pay for it." She then tried to say I only ordered one slice, when I very clearly ordered four. The entire situation was handled in the most unprofessional, hostile way possible. There was zero accountability, no basic customer service, and the way I was spoken to was completely unacceptable. I have never been treated like that at any business. Save your money and go somewhere else.

Today, spread across six generations, Rosa Salva is a renowned pastry shop situated near the Basilica dei Santi Giovanni e Paolo in the Castello district of Venice. This establishment offers a variety of traditional Venetian pastries, including bignè filled with zabaglione cream, Cannolo Siciliano, and pistachio croissants as well as homemade gelatos. My partner, our friends, family member, and I arrived in the mid-afternoon on a Sunday after our visit to Murano and the gondola ride nearby for some sweet treats. The outside terrasse was busy in the late morning and early afternoon, but beware of the pigeons. Some of us went inside and unfortunately didn't see much of a selection. Instead we opted for some gelatos such as mango & coconut , strawberry and lemon, and mango. All accompanied a nice wafer. They were good and fulfilled our needs. The price was comparable to the area. The staff was not welcoming as they need to be a bit motived. A real shame for a place that has a long tradition in Venice.
