    Their specialty fish lasagne with local bocala cod
    Amber E.

    We have always wanted to try this place, and finally made a reservation in advance, and we're able to give it a try. We started with the fish appetizer which was really unique and local- loved the shrimp and marinated octopus, my husband loved the cod spread, the anchovies and sardines. We had a glass of the Pinot Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc to start, and the a glass of Lugano (local Venetian white wine) and my husband had the Barbara was excellent. For entrees, my daughter had the pesto tagliatelle, my husband had the lasagne bolognese (amazing; super thin pasta and so flavorful) and I had their fish lasagne, made with their local cod, bocala, in a white sauce - very good, but very rich. Such a lovely meal, friendly service, wonderful atmosphere, generous portions and reasonable prices. One of our new favorite Venice restaurants.

    Cute little spot in the heart of Venice! The inside is small, but there is additional seating outside. We got the squid ink pasta, and scallops. The scallops were a bit chewy and the pasta could have been a bit more flavorful, but overall, we enjoyed it. Would recommend!

    Lasagna (best), gnocchi, fish lasagna, ravioli, artichoke, squash, eggplant

    Al Vecio Maragon was recommended by a friend. Wow! Located near the Gallerie dell' Accademia, Al Vechio Maragon had delicious food that we normally do not see in any Italian restaurant in the USA. The enjoyed the Fish Lasagna, Purple Gnocchi and a perfectly prepared plate of grilled vegetables. The house white wine paired perfectly with the Fish Lasagna and the Purple Gnocchi. Al Vechio Maragon charged a song for the amazing food and experience. Service was fast, friendly and efficient.

    This place is so good we went twice. Great atmosphere and even better food. You can tell this is a quality spot, the food is simple and delicious. Loved the tomato and mozzarella, pesto pasta, fish and lasagna. Service is also friendly. Really enjoy this spot.

    Excellent location, food, service! Great indoor and outdoor ambiance too! We ordered the lasagna bolognese and gnocchi Gorgonzola. Both were delicious. My wife ordered two aperol spritz! Best she ever had

    Nice little stop to get out of the bustle. Friendly and prompt service. Caprese and shrimp avocado dish were 8/10, Meatballs, 5/10

    Awesome good and great atmosphere makes a memorable night in the heart of Venice. Off the beaten path and incredible Venetian food. What a combo. All the pastas and seconds are fresh. Our party left super happy. They even served us a drink while we were waiting outside.

    View from other alley. Definitely tucked in here.

    Came here with two friends. We were seated at a long table in a pretty tight area. Two other parties of two were then seated at the same table. But it was nice because it gave us a chance to meet some new people. The restaurant is pretty small but there is some additional outdoor seating. The place fills up quickly and people wait outside to be seated. We started our meal by sharing a caprese salad. The mozzarella was tender and creamy. Really good. I ordered the gnocchi Gorgonzola. It was really rich and good. My friend had the gnocchi Bolognese and enjoyed it also. They do speak limited English. The server seemed somewhat overwhelmed and wasn't friendly. But she was efficient. It was nice to come to a place that was off the beaten path. I would return.

    All around good food. If you want to get down with fresh warm bread, tasty olive oil, fresh veggies, and a filling authentic pasta dish, this is where you want to go. You can find salad, pasta, meat, and fish. Bread: freshly baked baguette. Enough said Started with the vegetable platter: combination of cooked-hot veggies and room temperature cooked beans. Quite delicious when I added a bit of salt and olive oil. Bean soup: made with pinto beans( or at least that is what it looked and tasted like) I know pinto is not exactly Italian, so I am not sure if I am correct here. Soup comes out piping hot, flavor was amazing. The olive oil really came through which complimented the flavor of the bean. Gnocchi with meat sauce: meat sauce was one of the best I've tried. More meat than sauce which is nice because most places skimp on the meat. Gnocchi was prepared perfectly-I devoured the whole plate. Also topped with freshly Parmesan cheese which you can request.

    Squash lasagna

    Mediocre at best. Over priced and sad to say, everything seemed day old. Lasagna made a few days ago, not the freshest bread or cookies. Two of us did not each finish our food it wasn't worth eating the lasagnas. Mushy and overcooked. My daughters was ok, no parmigiana was offered for the top. The wine was good though. At least that can't all be bad. Each pasta was about €15, cheese plate of not very good quality cheeses was €11? Total tab was €78 and they charge a €3 sitting fee per person. I would not recommend!

    Absolutely fantastic service by Jeff Goldblum. My wife loved her zucchini gnocchi dish. Small and intimate place. Had a lovely time!

    Food was excellent, but ask for a liter of wine or end up with 2.5 ounces of wine for a glass. Service was less than friendly.

    THIS IS A PERSONAL OPINION - unless you are a major fan of seafood, the squid ink pasta was not our jam...

    Lots and lots of restaurants to choose from in Venice but this unassuming restaurant is a true gem…read more It's easy to miss as it's tucked in a corner right by a bridge. Once inside they have a couple tables with small window views of any gondolas passing by. We started off with a plate of lightly fried sardines topped with pickled white onions. The fry on the fish was super light and those vinegar-y onions were the perfect pairing. We cleaned that plate. The lasagna was well balanced with the meat, sauce, cheese. The squid ink pasta was chewy/al dente with a subtle touch of seafood flavors giving the cuttlefish. It was very umami but nothing too overbearing. Delicious! It's a Family business that was been around for many years. Grazie to the friendly staff and chef!

    I am so sad to give this restaurant such a poor rating after visiting many times during the last 20…read moreyears and loving it before. The jovial mood with the waiters with big personalities is gone. The menu you can find online is no longer available so you get a very limited menu to choose from--nearly entirely seafood. So if you have anyone in your party that just wants pasta with a red meat sauce or a non seafood lasagne, not available. We were a party of 8. Two people ordered the scallop appetizers. Pretty presentation on shells. 3 tiny scallops in the shells. More like an amuse bouche. Totally disappointing. The linguine with clams as an entree had clams so small you almost needed a magnifying glass to see them. Couldn't taste the clams and annoying to try to eat something so tiny , and just try to eat the pasta with all those tiny shells. The baby shrimp on polenta was actually good. But again the shrimp were like tiny hatchlings tempura battered. Tasted okay except for those that were soggy from the polenta that was very soupy. I wanted the gnocchi with crab which was on the very limited menu but no longer available. The alternative was gnocchi with a sea bass sauce which I chose but didn't like at all. The gnocchi were good but the sauce wasn't at all for me. We had to continue to ask for side dishes for the bread, butter, olive oil, salt and pepper. We will not return. Poor value for your money. Plus there is a cover charge and service included in your bill which was a surprise. Very sad to see our favorite Venetian restaurant decline so much.
