Good spot for Middle Eastern / Mediterranean cuisine with plenty of vegetarian and vegan options…read more My wife & I ordered a vegan appetizer combo to start (€18), which was rather massive, coming with a single piece each of falafel and dolmades (why not at least 2?) and various other good stuff. For mains, we split the Jordanian rice and a couscous dish. The Jordanian rice was simple but came with a nice mix of pine nuts, almonds, raisins, and served with a large amount of hummus. The couscous dish was served with roasted veggies (largely carrot and zucchini) on a large bed of couscous and a side of absolutely delectable soupy marinade that everything was cooked in. Turns out this was much too much food for 2, but our tummies were very happy. Recommended if you need a break of the same old pasta/pizza that are available at most places here.

I ate at this restaurant 33 years ago and have such fond memories of delicious food. It literally…read moreis the only restaurant I remember from that trip. The hotel we're staying at recommended it again and I thought I'm so excited I'm going back! Big mistake. I sat across from my daughter while eating, who looked between gagging and crying. She ordered the gnocchi with Bolognese sauce. It tasted like American barbecue and was very one note. I had my favorite seafood risotto. There were literally three small pieces of shrimp and one small piece of fish and when I say small, I mean about an inch in diameter. No mussels or octopus like I remember. That's it. It was tasteless and had no flavor. I was so disappointed. The crab in the shell appetizer was ok but the artichoke hearts had no flavor. I would avoid this place.

Venice is an expensive city and a lot of the seated meals can be expensive, subpar or both…read more Therefore in order to eat well on a budget it is suggested to eat at cicchetti bars (bacari), the Venetian equivalent on tapas. Most cicchetti are priced between €1-€3, which is consumed with alcohol priced from €2-€4. You can eat your cicchetti at one bacaro or make a crawl by traveling to several. As suggested by Rick Steves, one of his tour guides Alessandro Schezzini specializes in a cicchetti crawl. This was the first stop in his crawl as well as my first real meal in Venice (I had arrived from the US that morning). Turns out that there's two parts to this bacaro: the bar area where people drink and a back area where people can eat cicchetti or full meals. Since we were a big group we first started at the back tables where we were introduced to four cicchetti. - Calamari: fresh off the fryer, you can taste the freshness of the squid. Squid was not rubbery at all. - Sardine on top of an egg. My favorite cicchetti. Alessandro encouraged people to try to eat out of their comfort zone. - Rosemary potatoes: for any vegetarians of the group. - Deep fried fritter with meat (arancini?) All was served with flowing pitchers of house red wine, which Alessandro kept track of and poured as our glasses were approaching empty. It was also quite easy to get full out of fried food and wine. This bacaro is hidden somewhere near the Rialto so use Google Maps to find it.

We ordered the gnocchi and pappardelle pasta dishes, followed by panna cotta (highly recommend!) and cheesecake for dessert.

Wonderful ambiance and an excellent spot to dine. P.S. Be sure to double-check your bill; we were accidentally given the neighboring table's check.
