Came here last minute for dinner, the place was busy and seating was tight but the food and wine was amazing! The octopus was delicious, along with the pasta and scallops! Everything was also priced very well. Every aspect of this dining experience was outstanding. I’m so glad I chose to ignore that one-off negative review. What a gem this place turned out to be! This is my favorite city, and now I’ve found my favorite restaurant here too. A perfect 10/10. Bonus points for the charming little Murano glass sea creatures inside the water pitchers—they were absolutely adorable! My five-year-old was completely enchanted and wanted to take every single one home. The food was great, I love the their steak, it was very well balanced between the flavor. But the waiters were very dynamic and funny. I didn't reserved anything so we have to sit in the back of the restaurant.

The truffle pasta was simply divine — rich, fragrant, and absolutely unforgettable. Paired with a glass of wine with soft peachy notes, it turned into a full-blown symphony of flavors. Truly the best pasta we’ve ever tasted. The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. The atmosphere is cozy, charming, and full of Venetian soul. A place we’ll keep dreaming about — and one we’d wholeheartedly recommend to anyone visiting Venice.

We did not have a reservation when we visited but we were welcomed and seated. The food was exceptional! The staff were very friendly and accommodating. We will absolutely visit again if we come back to Venice. (The Tiramisu was FANTASTIC)
