    Spaghetti neri con scampi, zafferano e flori di zucca
    Mandy S.

    The food was delicious, the atmosphere was relax, and the service was friendly. Truly enjoyed our Venetian dinner experience.

    Crustacean Grill!

    Food! Maravilloso service like the 5 Star restaurant they are. Servicio de Primera! And ambiance is superb!

    Fantastic! The staff were warm and welcoming. We followed their recommendation for a fish platter that was the best meal we had in Venice. And the polenta with shrimp appetizer and tiramisu dessert were delicious

    Menu

    Wow, that lobster with tagliatelle was so good! Would definitely recommend. Big menu, lots of great options to choose from, friendly and attentive service. Pretty restaurant.

    Grigalia Mixta

    Best meal we've had on our Italy trip. Seafood was very fresh and food was not over salted. Grigalia Mixta was plenty of food for a family of 4.

    Caprese appetizer
    Sharla M.

    We are first-time to Venice and this restaurant had the absolute best Caprese I have ever had. My husband had the sea bass and it was amazing. Excellent wine as well.

    Sea bass and potato medley. Very good extra large capers!

    The service was great. Food was some of the best we had in Venice! The staff brought bread and water regularly.

    Grigliata Mista

    Highly recommend this restaurant! My husband and I had the Grigliata Mista by recommendation of our server, and it wound up being the best meal we had in Venice (and perhaps the best meal of our week-long trip in Italy). Both the food and service was excellent!

    We wanted to try this place given the high reviews and seeing so many groups of people outside. We…read morestood in queue for a few minutes. The guy serving our wine was not friendly. Maybe he was having an off night. He asked what we wanted to try. He'd pour a tasting and then roll his eyes and wander off, bring his friends their charged phones from the back, and then just look at us. Such a shame, we had hoped for a better experience. We found many other places in this area that we loved and enjoyed their wine. Such a cool hip local area.

    We do love Cicchetti and some bar-hopping. And this is a new place we've discovered this time…read morearound in Venice. Location is very nice, right at a pretty trendy canal, filled with lots of restaurants and bars. Right next to is an excellent gelato place. It's quite small inside with few tables, many just hang around outside - and why not, the location at the canale is a pretty spot. We did manage though to get some seats inside. Our Bulldog was very welcome here as well. The various cicchetti are presented at the counter. There are some classics of course, but also some very innovative creations. We went for the latter. There was gorgonzola with strawberry, radicchio with brie cheese, pesto topped with an anchovie and mushrooms, mashed fava beans with pulp and mashed fava with goats cheese and a cherry. All really wonderful combinations. Our favorite were the radicchio and the fava/goat cheese. Surely something to recreate back home. Staff was very friendly, we felt very welcome here. And instead of focussing on Aperol, Select and Prosecco, it's mostly about white and red wine here. And they have an excellent selection of wine. Not all cheap, but definitely worth the money. We especially loved the Pinot Nero "Terre di Giotto". A brillant cicchetti bar. Definitely a place we come back to next time in Venice.

Upon arrival, the owner was sitting at a table drinking wine. There weren't any people dining, so we were the only ones. The servers and cooks were very attentive. We were immediately greeted and seated while our drink requests were taken. We always choose still water. Today, we decided to try a wine tasting, which included a blend of whites of reds from the region. The waiter explained in detail the type of wine, where it is made, what type of grapes it is made with, and the year it was made. All of the wines were very delicious. Italy takes great pride in their wines and rightfully so. We requested bruschetta and presciutto. We were given fresh, warm bread, which we mixed with salt, pepper, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar. The bread was amazing. It had a soft, warm inside and a crunchy outside. Isn't that they way bread should be served? The bruschetta was delicious as was the presciutto. The food, wine, and service were superb. We vowed that we would return for dinner, but alas, we didn't make time to do so. This is a great restaurant!

Both were served with a a mound of fresh cut potatoes, grilled vegetables and two sauces to dip into. We barely used the dips as everything was seasoned to perfection. No steak sauce needed as the steak was well seasoned and served hot. We also have a bottle of white wine and tried the lasagna for our starter. Everyone at the table was happy with this option for dinner. Also this is not fancy dinner but still dining at its fines. If you are a steak lover and in the Venice area Al Timon is a must have for dinner.

    HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Definitely get the Lombatello steak if you are feeling carnivorous…read more Throngs of lively people sipping wine and snacking on cichetti late into the evening along the canal. The cichetti selection looked very good (variety thinned out throughout the night), but our party of 3 was starving and we opted to sit inside for a late ~8:30pm dinner. We got one order of grilled lamb and the Lombatello steak for 2. The lamb was also good, no gamey taste. The Lombatello steak was simply fantastic, choose this cut specifically!! A heaping pile of medium-rare meat (cannot buy single portions) that was very tender and flavorful. It's cushioned with steak fries and grilled veggies on the side. Paired with two glasses of house wine, this meal was fantastic. Ended up with a to go box of steak and fries. Servers are very busy, bustling around clearing tables, taking orders, etc, but they are vigilant if you need anything. We saw one table of ~10 order a steak platter, and it was a sight to behold - a massive wooden cutting board packed with steak, transported by two waiters.
