Stopped in around 9pm for wine and food. Bar area and seating outside was packed but found a few…read moreopen tables inside. Waiter was extremely helpful and patient with the language barrier. I had the clams with white wine garlic sauce and pasta and my wife had the lasagna. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the sauce was rich and flavorful. Fresh basil and tomatoes tossed in as well. I was grateful for the extra bread on the table so I could soak up any renaming sauce. The lasagna was probably the best lasagna I had on our 10 day trip in Venice and I ate all the way from Lido to Mestre. The lasagna had a folded in cheese that had a smooth, velvet like texture and was amazingly rich. Great little family owned restaurant with an awesome staff. From the outside it doesn't look like much but the food is definitely worth stopping in for.

What a nice place. The people here could not be nicer. Their English is actually quite excellent as…read morewell. So let's talk about the food. We both had steak and they were both great. I had the ribeye, but not like an American ribeye. This thing was very wide, but not thick like we get back home. The flavor however, was awesome. My wife had the fillet, which was excellent. I tasted it as well and it was very soft and tender. It came with a nice cheese sauce, but it was a little overwhelming, so we took some off. The prize of the night was the fried polenta. If I could order second, thirds, and fourths, I would. They also gave us some nice grilled veggies. Awesome! We loved this place. So will you!

The setup is great but the way it is run is lacking:…read more It is a large restaurant with nice (british) pub decoration. The furniture is solid wood, including the chairs. There are some wooden benches covered with seating pillows. In the middle of the restaurant is a square 'island' bar, without bar stools. The tables are not set. When food is ordered the cutlery is put on the table but needs to be laid in place by oneself. There were tv's at various places however. If this is what you like, be aware though. There are not enough of them to guarentee everybody on a table will be able to see one without turning around. The menu has a large selection of beers, though few on tap. 3 out of about 8 bottled beers were not available when we asked for them. One of the beer glasses had a chip. The edge of the beer glass was sharp because of the missing peace. There was a beer special going on (a poster on the wall told us), but when we got the bill the normal prize for this beer had been charged. When we pointed this out it was changed (without an appology). The food selection is large, but apart from a steak with baked patatoes or pizza, it contains mostly 'lunch style' food based on bread. The quality of the food was high for a pub, not for a restaurant. The music was to loud for a restaurant in my opinion and 80's songs were played. Only two other tables were occupied when we were there between 18:30 (opening time) and 19:30. I immagine this is a place where groups of young italians come as it is not too expensive and the music is quite loud.
