The food and drinks were okay taste-wise. I would give the taste a 6.5 out of 10. Good yet not tons of flavor. The food was good for filling our tummies in the moment but not good enough to return. The worst part - food poisoning. I had the calamari and boyyyyy was I sick afterwards. It turned our experience from "okay" to "ouchhhhh". Unfortunately, we will not be returning for more. :(

There were a lot of people, of course, but they were filling orders quickly. While waiting in line, you pass by the window into the kitchen where you can see staff members freshly making pasta. It was good to know that even pasta out of a box can be prepared with the freshest ingredients. I ordered the pesto with garlic and pecorino, and it was honestly one my favorite pastas I've had in Italy. My pasta came with rigatoni, which was perfectly al dente.

We started off with their fried zucchini flower, which is supposedly one of their specialties, and it was awesome. I don't even like zucchini, but I tried it and loved it!

We got there a little early, but the nice lady setting up tables before opening offered to let us sit down on the outside patio since we were a bit tired from sightseeing all day. She was so welcoming and proud of her restaurant. If I ever go back to Venice, I'll definitely be eating here again. Just thinking about the experience makes me smile =]

The food was amazing and the service even better! The employees were very attentive and kindly recommended different dishes. They have both outdoor and indoor seating, which is always nice. I ordered a pistachio cornetto, a double shot capuccino and a focaccia sandwich. The cornetto was freshly baked, very soft and with the perfect amount of pistachio cream. The coffee was also amazing, perfectly pulled shots of espresso. The coffee itself wasn't too acidic which I always like. The focaccia from the sandwich was freshly baked that morning too and the combination between serrano ham and cheese was very tasty. They do heat up the sandwich, so if you're into hot breakfast this is a great spot for that! Overall, I would 100% revisit this spot if I'm ever on Venice again: excellent food and service!

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!

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.
