Even though we arrived well before our 8:30pm reservation, the staff was accommodating and seated us right away outside. Dining al fresco was lovely, though fair warning to future guests: there were quite a few mosquitoes buzzing around, so bring some bug spray! The menu is conveniently available in both Italian and English, and they even offer a dedicated vegan menu. While nothing on the menu is explicitly labeled gluten-free, our server was incredibly reassuring and confidence-inspiring, telling us he could modify virtually anything to be gluten-free. I decided to order off the vegan menu, and my friend and I shared the zucchini and avocado tartare. It was fresh, light, and really good! We also ordered a side of potatoes to share, and they were so delicious--seasoned and cooked to perfection. For my main course, I had the gluten-free spaghetti prepared with an onion cream and toasted hazelnuts. The pasta itself was cooked to a perfect al dente, but the sauce was unique and a bit unusual--definitely not my personal favorite, though it was an interesting culinary experience. Redemption came quickly with dessert as the strawberries and champagne were absolutely delicious and refreshing. To top it all off, the server surprised us with a complimentary round of Limoncello on the house, which easily turned out to be the best I have ever tasted. The service throughout the night was nothing short of fantastic, and every member of the staff was fun, warm, and exceptionally nice. Despite a couple of minor hiccups with the bugs and the sauce, the stellar service and thoughtful accommodations make this place well worth a visit.

Get what's unique and native to Venice. Conveniently located a mere 5 minutes on foot, east-northeast of the San Marco Basilica and Doge's Palace. I believe the dress is smart-casual (A golf shirt or better, gents). There was no Yelp option to note this. Owner can correct me if I'm wrong. :-) -------------- Longer version: -------------- Stopped by for a quiet meal and sat outside. Was greeted, immediately seated, and provided a cover of focaccia and a flat bread of only 1-2mm thick with a tomato/basil consistency. Delightful. Waiter smiled at my attempt at Italian and helped me through the evening with both Italian and English switching. I'm a barbarian and appreciated their patience. Ordered (1) "Sardines in Saor" for my antipasti/appetizer and their take on (2) Duck cutlets for the primi/main course. ***Dessert is unpublished online, but they have Tiramisu, a cheesecake, biscotti con crema, and a (3) chocolate mousse with Limoncello crema on top (I had this). They also have a solid selection of coffees and dessert drinks. (1) If you're adventurous and like a hint of sweet and sour, definitely go for the Sardines in Saor. If you're typically not a big sardine fan, know that they aren't nearly as briney or fishy as they are in oil or salted. Because they were fried in a light flour batter and wrapped up with pine nuts & raisins within a sautéed onion (and refrigerated overnight) it was more mellow and sweet with that slight hint of sardine. Imagine a taste similar to a fried oyster with onion + fig jam. It's served chilled and it's good. Do it. (2) They adjusted the duck's ingredients to go with a creamy cheese/watermelon accompaniment instead of the menu's coffee puree. The sweet & savory combo was perfect for a summer night. It was unique and very good. (3) The milk chocolate mousse with limoncello cream was a nice dish. Small, ideal portion that gives you a taste of the sweet decadence without loading you up with sugar. You'll walk away without feeling stuffed, and you'll know the price was worth it. Enjoy!

Oh my goodness, you should not pass this gem of family owned and operated restaurant. I cannot begin to tell you how many times my companions said "Wow" after taking a bite. Not to be missed items: - bakes lasagna with pork and beef. The creaminess and texture, yum. Every bite was delicious - mixed seafood fried was excellent. We had this at many places throughout Italy, and this was the best execution of it - Duck breast & leg, with coffee puree, cooked perfectly medium rare. Lovely bite - spaghetti vongole (clams), well done. A bit salty for me but I still enjoyed it very much - Creme Brulee, best you've ever had or will enjoy Overall, the best is the personal touch the owner brings to our experience. Before I eat anywhere, I always look in the kitchen and it was clean, organized, and they use an industrial dish washer. The wine glasses are polished. Excellent and curated selection of spirits. The dry aged meats looked tempting as well. The atmosphere is charming and romantic. We saw young couples on dates, intermixed with locals, as well as groups of tourists. You would not be disappointed to take a detour and visit this lovely restaurant. We are so happy this was one of our last meals in Italy, having visted Rome, Amalfi, Serrento, Positano, and finally Venice. P.S. Get thr creme brulee

Gnocchi with Gorgonzola cream and asparagus: The asparagus was mushy & seemed like it was canned. There wasn't much flavour in this dish. Gnocchi was otherwise okay and edible.

Waiters were not helpful. I tried to get advice about the menu, but they couldn't recommend anything.

After reading…read morepositive reviews on Google and Yelp, we walked 20 minutes to dine here, only to be let down. Visiting Venice for a short time, it was disheartening to spend our limited time and money on this meal. Initially, we were not seated inside, though people were inside when we left. However, their indoor area only had a small portable AC, so it wouldn't have been much better. During the hot summer afternoon, the outdoor patio was unbearable, despite the umbrellas. As the sun shifted, I felt like I was boiling. The service was slow but not terrible. I ordered the lasagna, which was one of the worst I've had, and I've had my share of bad lasagna. It was mushy and not to my taste. My partner's spaghetti carbonara tasted overwhelmingly of pepper. The fried guanciale slices were the highlight, but the overcooked egg resembled scrambled eggs, mixed with powdered pepper flavor. It was inedible for us. Perhaps this is a traditional Venice way of cooking but I did not like it. My Prosecco was good, but they serve Pepsi instead of Coke, which wasn't great either. Unfortunately, I wouldn't return.
