We had scoped this place prior to our trip. Having seen it pop up in multiple reviews and on…read morevarious sites, it seemed like a no brainer to make a reservation for our first night in Venice. The reviews were spot on and this place was simply fantastic. Service was on point and the food was excellent. The wine service missed a few marks and so this would have been a 4.5 but given the totality of the experience I rounded up The wine list was decent and we went with the 2018 Antinori BDM which was reasonably priced. If we are getting down to brass tacks it should have been decanted and the stemware could have been better for a BDM. It also was stored on a shelve not in a proper cellar as it came to the table at best room temperature The Food: Steak Tartar: nicely minced and fresh. Minimally seasoned to make the beef shine. The aioli added a bit of richness as the meat was quite lean Beef carpaccio: Not a true rendition as the meat had a slight sear on it. The beef however was near blue in the center. The aioli as before added a bit of richness and the pesto crema? helped to balance it out. The croutons were a bit superfluous. gnocchi with duck ragu: Nice pillowy gnocchi and the duck ragu had a nice depth of flavor and while it was simply spiced the freshness of the ingredients shone through lukewarm spaghetti on beef tartare: Wow this one was good. The tartar was as above minus the aioli. The al dente pasta was sauced with ricotta and thyme was rich and luxurious. The tartare had finely chopped olives and tomatoes in it and the brininess helped tame the richness. Beef with Rocket: Yes I went beef, beef, and more beef for all three courses. The beef was cooked a perfect rare with just salt and pepper. The parmesean flakes and rocket helped cut the rich beef flavor for a nicely balanced bite. Pineapple carpaccio: Thin sliced pineapple that were macerated in grappa? formed into a flower. So Tasty We finished the night with an Amaro

Serendipity brought us to this restaurant. It was noontime and we were escaping the crowds of…read morePiazza San Marco and those heading to the Rialto Bridge. We turned down a quiet side street and found an empty restaurant. The waiter across the way invited us in and we realized that the restaurant was on both sides of the street. We ordered drinks and perused the menu, which was considerable. We decided to share a caprese salad and the seafood risotto for two. While waiting for our food, we chatted with our waiter, who spoke very good English and was quite sociable. Our salad came with beautifully thick slabs of mozarella and gorgeously red tomatoes, preparing our palettes for what was to come. The made-from-scratch risotto was, incredible. The texture of the rice was soft, but still with a chew, and complemented the tender shrimp. Our waiter informed us that the risotto had neither butter or cheese, just olive oil. We did not leave a single grain behind. This was the final day of our vacation and we couldn't have finished on a better note. I only wish this restaurant was closer to home.

Starters: - Local razor clams: much smaller than we've had elsewhere but super flavorful and so great - Carpaccio of local fish: sea bass, tuna, swordfish, and shrimp - all very fresh, with olive oil and salt. It came with a wasabi sauce and a tartar type of sauce, but we liked the simple, plain preparation - Spaghetti with shrimp and prawns alla busara: with an uni like sauce on top, rich and good in texture - Fettuccine: fresh pasta with spider crab sauce Service was friendly, and the outside setting was actually really nice because it was a quiet area - nice as a more relaxing lunch stop just far enough away from the Rialto Market.

Nicola and Saor were our hosts and kept our tables well served through and through. Saor ran us through the options and we ended up ordering the following: Green beans with almond, grilled fennel with walnuts, lentils and stuffed mushrooms. You really cannot go wrong with any of these as how they were severed though my personal favorite were the lentils and the fennel. Absolutely recommend the place and their hosts and as well the ambiance that you get in a subtle kind of quite part of the town. Just do it!!
