    Like another commenter, this restaurant was recommended to us by our guide whos family has been in Venice for centuries. It was Christmas day, and we had a reservation at Harry's Bar (HB), but after reading a lot of negative things about HB, we decided to go simpler. We stood outside for a minute looking at the menu after receiving the recommendation, when a waiter kindly came out and asked if we needed any help. We said that we would be returning later. He said they would be open until 11 p.m. So glad we returned! We didn't have a reservation, and the place was packed. But the owner said he would try to fit us in, gave us a complimentary glass of Prosecco, and about 15 minutes later arranged for a small table for us. And it was terrific! I had the shrimp cocktail, and the shrimp was prepared perfectly. I'd actually go a little bit lighter on the sauce, but it was easy to remove, and the shrimp were perfectly prepares and delicious. My wife asked for pasta with a simple Pomodoro tomato sauce, and she loved it. The main entree was the star. We had the Branzino (sea bass) prepared in a salt dome, and they presented the fish first, and then after preparing it, fileted and deboned it tableside. Served it with grilled vegetables and spinach, and the house Pinot Grigio was a perfect match. It turned out to be a top 10 Christmas dinner of all times. Topped it off with pannacota, and a double espresso. Complementary biscotti and limoncello were a surprise happy ending. Then the owner tried to give us a discount, for aving given us a table close to the coat area, and we returned it and then some as a tip. Our table was fine and had great views of everything! Other dining guests and we struck up some conversations, and it was just a delightful, joyous, genuine and sweet evening. Buon apetito!

    This is by far the best restaurant I've eaten at in Italy. After several failed attempts to find good places to eat in Venice with no rude waiters and bad food with ridiculous prices, we found this Jem! This is the only place we will bring our visitors now and have eaten here at least 10 times. Amazing fresh seafood for reasonable prices for Venice considering it's all fresh from the nearby fish market! I have seen some of it carried in still alive! Super fresh! The entire staff are friendly, fun, efficient and fast. Great people watching outside and beautiful romantic setting inside. The decor is adorable! You must not miss this....favorite dishes include the mixed seafood starter, Risotto di Giorgio (prawns with lemon zest) and the chocolate lava cake with homemade pistachio gelato

    Seafood pasta delicious pasta nice seafood tasting broth yum

    primi seafood pasta very tasty and pasta fresh Secondi- cold pickled fish sampler not my favorite. But also don't like cold fish so it was prolly My fault Contour: grilled vegetables no flavor no salt just grilled bread was stale All waiters spoke English- very Americanized fast service Was able to eat outside nice atmosphere a singing *Italian man on the accordion was charming until he came up to each table demanding a tip. Very rude Husband got Bolognese fresh pasta pork chop small size bothibf special For two people with two drinks: 50 euro

    Had the best meal. Seafood is fresh and extremely well prepared. Compliments to the Chef. If you're in Venice come here.

    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.

    On our last evening in Venice we wanted some Crudo di Mare. Checked online and found this place…read more Reviews looked very good. So we came here for an early dinner (around 5pm), kitchen is open through! Took a nice table inside by the window. Our Bulldog was welcome as well. Staff/owner very friendly, helpful and made us feel very welcome here. Inside it's a nice, cosy atmosphere. Good selection of wine on the menu as well. For all kinds of budgets. And at the counter a nice display of all kinds of seafood. Lovely place. We've ordered the Crudo di Mare plate and Spaghetti Vongole. And a .375ml bottle of their white house wine, which turned out to be a good pairing with the seafood. Both dishes were excellent! Plenty of Vongole (clams) in the pasta dish, Spaghetti were perfectly cooked. Vongole were nice and fresh and the dish perfectly spiced (not too much, which is good). A real highlight definitely the Crudo di Mare. Two langoustines (so nice and sweet flavour), two red shrimp. scallops, tuna, swordfish, oysters and tuna tartare. All fresh, all tasty. An excellent mix of wonderful fish and seafood. Quality wise along on top with the best ones we've had so far (we love Crudo di Mare). And all is nicely presented. Really made our day, this meal here. After the meal we even got some aperitif on the house. A wonderful place. Feels very relaxed, lots of great items on the menu. And really fair prices, this is a real gem here with great value. And we will definitely be back next time in Venice. Highly recommended!
