    Amazing restaurant! We came to Como to celebrate our wedding anniversary and this restaurant was…read moresuch a wonderful experience. It sits very high on a hill overlooking Como and the view does not disappoint. The menu is expansive and interesting - you start with table side bread, a starter for each person (they are individual portions), then order a second course pasta dish and a final course main entree. While the food was extremely yummy the best part was how accommodating they were to my husband's serious food intolerances. He cannot eat garlic or onions (makes it very difficult in Italy) and our server Andre was so gracious and left notes for the chef and ended up making him a pasta dish not even on the menu! So incredibly kind and not expected at all. Andre also gave me an amazing wine recommendation! The Brunello...changed my life so good!!! Lastly because we were celebrating our anniversary they brought out a sparkler and yummy frozen lemon drink for us to share all while cranking up the music and congratulating us with the whole restaurant. 10/10 service!!! The restaurant itself is so charming, the only thing to be aware of is outside on the patio is is very warm with no AC, but they have fans to keep you as cool as they can.

    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.

    This spot is a good way to try out a bunch of fried seafood but it's nothing to write home about…read more The seafood is fried in advance so no guarantee you will be getting a fresh scoop or a good assortment of pieces. The seafood is served in a cracker bowl which is both super sustainable and a fun way to eliminate waste. The service was so nasty toward the tourists that I was really close to stepping away from the venue during the initial interaction. But we were tired from a long day of exploring and were opting for something more casual before heading on the ferry back. Prices for the dishes aren't exactly cheap. For a pile of seafood and a drink I believe the cost was close to 20 euros. Overall, if you can go to another spot that offers fresher fritto misto you might be able to enjoy it and have a better experience than this location.

    Not sure how the food is because the place was closing. I needed to use the bathroom but in order…read moreto use the bathroom I needed to buy something, which is completely understandable. I bought a water because the kitchen was closed. The man that I spoke to was pretty rude. My mother also needed to use the bathroom. While she was in there and the worker saw her go in there he proceeded to start banging on the door after her being in there for 1 minute. Because of the worker banging on the door my mother peed everywhere. NOT COOL! RUDE PEOPLE WORK HERE! Water bottle was good that's why the 2 stars not 1.
