    Excellent spot for a midday lunch while visiting Murano. My wife and I were staying on the Glass Island and on our first day were looking for an easy spot for a meal after touring around the Museo del Vetro. This lovely spot fit the bill perfectly. We had a small inside table in a room all to ourselves and each ordered an entree...I had the fettuccini carbonara and my wife a monkfish dish. The dishes were so simple, yet so expertly prepared and presented; we loved every bite! Would love the chance to sit canal-side next time we visit.

    This was the restaurant I chose to dine at during my day trip to Murano. I did some research before hand and settled on it. It took some walking to get there, but it was worth it. I grabbed a seat and was waiting so long that I almost got up and left. Minus the slow service everything was outstanding. The outdoor seating area is right on the water and shaded. I had the largest prawns I have ever seen and to make it better they were wrapped in bacon. I ordered the crab seafood pasta, but it was finished so I got the snapper instead. It was outstanding. If on Murano you must pay this spot a visit.

    Broccoli cream and red prawn tartare tagliolini

    We came here because it's close to our hotel. But what a pleasant surprise!! We were glad to find this hidden gem!! Each dish was so dedicatedly cooked and decorated! We ordered slow cooked octopus as appetizer, slow cooked pork knuckle (crispy outside and juicy inside), slow cooked eel and broccoli cream red prawn tartare tagliolini. All are very delicious. We also had dessert panna cotta and tiramisu which are delicious as well!! Highly recommended!!

    If you have a chance to go to Venice, they travel out to Murano and eat here.

    A one-star review. That happens very rarely with me. When travelling I prepare myself well…read more Checking ratings, reading reviews. Making lists with options to eat. So, what happened here you might ask? We walked by this restaurant a day before our experience. A lively place selling tasty-looking seafood. Checked the ratings, looked all fine. So we decided to come back the next day to get some nice early dinner. We wanted to sit inside actually, but were told to get a table outside. Looked like rain soon - which luckily didn't arrive. Our waiter seemed rushed and not really in a good mood from the start. Got handed the menu. But there's a nice counter inside with all kinds of nice fish and seafood. That's actually what we came for. We asked the waiter on how to order that, but were told "no need to rush" without further explanation and left. So my wife went inside to have a look, since we didn't find that on the menu card we've got. She ordered a nice plate of mixed seafood inside. Which somewhat angered our waiter. I was still reading the menu for some more dishes to order. Waiter took it out of my hand, telling me "you don't need that anymore, you already ordered". Yeah, some. But we wanted more. But we made a decision that moment to leave it and to stop ordering more. Really weren't in the mood for food anymore. Shortly after he arrived with the mixed seafood. And that was actually very tasty. Fantastic even. Had two glasses of white wine with if, tasty as well, but not cheap. After less than half an hour we decided to pay and leave. Even great, we didn't enjoy it much anymore. Asked for the bill, our waiter arrived with it shortly after. Then the reason for the one-star review came (actually reason enough at that point already). My wife merely asked if she could pay with a credit card. "Be quiet!" was the answer. Yes! Be Quiet...to my wife! These exact words. Not because of a language barrier (his english was more than fine), not because of a misunderstanding. Plain and simple rudeness. I hope his mother is proud of him. How dare you talk to a woman, to a paying guest like that. If my wife wouldn't have signaled me to stay calm, I would have caused a very big scene at that moment. But we were on vacation. We won't a moment like this kill our mood for the rest of the trip. But at that moment I was cooking inside. A verbal attack like this I've never encountered. I've read some more reviews later. It seems not the first time that service here is out of line. It's a shame. The food is wonderful. Not cheap though, paid almost 50 Euros! Coperta is a normal thing, but here a bit higher than elsewhere. And this is the first time I've thought that the coperta was not deserved. Almost took it off the bill, but we didn't want to cause a bigger fight. Not sure what was/is wrong with this certain waiter. A dislike to tourists? A bad day? But: there's no reason to treat us like this. THE worst service experience we've ever had. And that means something. If you read up on my reviews here on Yelp and other platforms you'll see that bad reviews like this rarely happen. Nothing's gonna happen to Mr. Friendly anyway job-wise. But I wish at least he would be told by his boss. Then again, one day he'll meet guests that won't hold back if he acts like this again. And I find comfort in that.

Decor is super cute and def gives off that Venice vibes! Not to mention this was actually a very highly rated restaurant according to google with a lux dinning experience. I ordered the octopus dish and my cousin ordered some seared fish dish. We ordered an appetizer to share as well before out entrée dishes arrived. We both finished our dish and appetizer. The seafood we both had was super fresh and actually quite filling. I was worried I was still going to be hungry after eating. The service is A1! he speaks fluent English and was very helpful answering our questions before we ordered. They def have some top notch quality food and service to accompany you!

The restaurant quickly filled completely after a short time. We had the thinly sliced beef with apricots for an aperatif and the beef was so tender you could cut it with a fork. They had an extensive wine list and we had a bottle of Teroldego which we had sampled at the Rioja winery in Romero and it was perfect. My husband had the lamb - tender and perfectly done. I had the potato and zucchini filled pasta which was delicious and the plate presentations for everything were beautiful. We had their tiramisu for dessert which was also delicious. It was an outstanding and memorable meal for our last night in Venice.

    Unfortunately, this was one of the worst dining experiences we had in Italy. We only chose this…read moreplace because our preteen daughter really wanted to eat there, so we stayed -- but we regretted it. The waiter was overly pushy from the start, constantly upselling and pushing bottled water (which, of course, they charge for). The food was highly mediocre and felt like typical tourist trap fare. Our two teenage daughters ordered pesto pasta, and it was overwhelmingly salty. My wife's pomodoro pasta had no flavor at all. I had a pasta dish with red sauce, mushrooms, and shrimp -- the shrimp were tiny, rubbery, and clearly frozen. This place is all about location and catching tourists, not about serving quality food. I'd avoid it and look for somewhere with a bit more authenticity.

    I said I wasn't going to bash - but after 12 hours and being super swollen, here I am. Came to…read moreBenice expecting the same quality of food we got in Rome & Florence. Our perfect single day in this city was completely ruined by this meal. As my husband said, "Olive Garden has more flavor." If you are US based, you know exactly what I am talking about. I got the spaghetti with seafood. One prawn, two shrimp, a few mussels and clams with squid. The seafood itself was fine - it should be as I'm on the water - but nothing to blow my skirt up. The pasta? Salty and watery and.....boxed. It was hard, thin spaghetti and tasted like the $1 great value brand, My husband got the spaghetti with mussels and clams. Not even sure what the sauce was supposed to be? Garlic and olive oil perhaps? One thing we have found is that Italians love to brag about their food - in Venice, along Rialto bridge you had people begging you to come to their restaurant - so we figured we would go off the beaten path away from the touristy areas and got completely shammed. As for my previous comment: unless it is fresh pasta or gluten free, while I am not celiac, have a problem processing it and my joints and stomach get bloated. We are on day 6/8 and after eating bread/pasta or multiple courses, this one meal has me feeling absolutely horrible and in pain.
