As others have said, you are really good for the view and ambiance as the everything is very overpriced. It was lovely sitting outside for breakfast while it was cool to enjoy the scenery and music. You are charged extra per person when there is live music, plus 20% service charge for the music portion. The food was decent and fresh and service was pleasant. Be careful of the birds if eating outside and you are told to cover your food when not eating. There is also 10% service charge for the food already added to the bill.

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.

Started in 1948 by Luciano and his wife, it's now run by their two sons. The warmth and hospitality of a family owned business shines through and they're proud to show the quality merchandise they have on hand. A dizzying 600 Italian wines can be found towards the back of the store and you're welcome to stay and peruse as long as you want. We choose a half bottle of Moscato for the bf's sister in law which went well with the biscottis they had on hand too. They carry a good variety of chocolate and candies, pastas, dried goods etc. But you really need to come for the spices! Every spice known to man is here in this shop, kept in tightly sealed glass canisters or wooden boxes. They are weighed and you're charged accordingly. Don't miss their truffle salt and truffle butter! I only got mini bottles of both since there was no more room in our luggage! We couldn't be more happier with our purchases here and at a fraction of a cost if we would've gone to a big chain store. A great find!

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!
