Today, spread across six generations, Rosa Salva is a renowned pastry shop situated near the Basilica dei Santi Giovanni e Paolo in the Castello district of Venice. This establishment offers a variety of traditional Venetian pastries, including bignè filled with zabaglione cream, Cannolo Siciliano, and pistachio croissants as well as homemade gelatos. My partner, our friends, family member, and I arrived in the mid-afternoon on a Sunday after our visit to Murano and the gondola ride nearby for some sweet treats. The outside terrasse was busy in the late morning and early afternoon, but beware of the pigeons. Some of us went inside and unfortunately didn't see much of a selection. Instead we opted for some gelatos such as mango & coconut , strawberry and lemon, and mango. All accompanied a nice wafer. They were good and fulfilled our needs. The price was comparable to the area. The staff was not welcoming as they need to be a bit motived. A real shame for a place that has a long tradition in Venice.

My companions had a ham and cheese sandwich which I didn't taste, but it was scarfed down and declared to be pretty good! So if in Lido, stop by for the lovely coffee and the warm service and the free wifi which lets you check in at yelp! Bonus, they speak English :)

It's a take away sorta place or a stand at the very small space inside or outside. The pastry selection is amazing and delicious. The service was prompt and efficient.

Drinks were always served to me, so I didn't interact with the bartenders (or pay for that matter).

The list of food and cocktails is extensive and probably too many to be honest. The cocktails tasted ok but were pretty sweet and packed a lot of booze in there. They were also served with about kg of fruit on top was was slightly overkill but I'm guessing part of the show. Service was very quick and prices were really reasonable. The highlight for me was the pear & run shot that was on offer. This definitely has to be tried if you make a visit. Overall I'd avoid if you were after a quiet drink but otherwise jump on it!

Of course there is full coffee service... and a friendly reminder about aggressive gulls and pigeons!
