Just like everyone on here. … went across the canal hoping to get in without a reservation, no dice. We wanted to just eat so we settled here. Food and service weren’t bad, certainly not best meal I’ve had. They did charge 3 euros a piece as the«cover charge». The apple juice was really yummy.

I had the black cuttlefish pasta tonight and it was excellent. The taste is a particular one but it was very delicious. The scene around here is very tranquil and neighborly. In the late afternoon you’d see(grand)parents playing with children, dogs fetching their ball, and local folk going their way in an unaffected way.

La comida es económica, comparada con la comida de restaurante en Venecia, y los platos son grandes. Sin embargo, la calidad no es la mejor. La pasta no es muy sabrosa, y algunas cosas me las trajeron frías. El coperto es de 3 €.

Very disappointing meal. This place is in a great location and looks great from the outside, but the food and service is lacking. I had the special appetizer, carpaccio tuna & Dorado. The tuna was decent and tasty with some pistachio nuts, but the Dorado was tasteless and actually a little tough. Not good for € 25. I then had the frittura mista, pretty much a standard in Venice, but this one was sub-standard. The service was slow and uninterested. There are so many better options in Venice, why waste a meal?

Pleasant trattoria providing very tasty food with a scenic canal view. The fish courses are a specialty and they were excellent. The house wines were quite good and reasonably priced. Service was pleasant, but the food arrived erratically. Credit cards accepted.

Avoid the table under the kitchen window but otherwise excellent service, superbly cooked food. Very reasonable prices. Recommended the meat antipasti and liver with polenta.

Our preferred dinner of choice was fully booked that evening(that which should not be named but was literally across the street). This place was pretty empty sans another couple during dinner time, but we were too lazy to keep meandering. So what didn’t we eat for dinner? Water, ¾ of a liter of house wine(much cheaper than getting a specific bottle anywhere in Italy btw), a ham(aka proscuitto) antipasti(a great starter and very satisfying ham), a cheese(several diff kinds of parm) antipasti(I wasn’t too thrilled with this little-portioned plate of cheeses), a macchiato, and our pastas — my squid ink pasta with cuttlefish was super tasty and black(obviously) — I totally had the gothic look going on while eating this dish. I couldn’t taste the fishiness until/unless I went to eating something else in between bites(like the ham, cheese, or the hubs’ pasta), then the«fishiness» of the whole dish just kicked me in the face. It’s def worth ordering a def a local for Venice. Service was very good in my opinion. Portions here are standard to other Italian establishments. Sitting fee. At 65 euros, it was a tad pricey, but it was a very decent dinner. There weren’t many dessert options(we walked a couple blocks down for gelato). 3.5 Stars for a decent meal here.

Our seafood antipasti was just okay. The branzino-stuffed ravioli with shrimp and creamy pomodoro sauce was the best dish I’ve had in Venice. But the stock fish special was completely inedible: like chewing on old fish jerky. Service was okay, by Venice’s indifferent service standards. The view is good, with outdoor seating by a bridge near a relatively quiet canal. … So quiet I kept hearing the microwave going off in their kitchen. Mediocre, yes, but it has its high points. Namely that it’s open when all its competitors are closed.

We were trying to get into La Zuppa but they were fully booked so nestled here for dinner. We were able to grab a seat outside before the dinner crowd ascended for dinner. A few spritzs later we ordered the clams and mussels, spaghetti bolognese(meat sauce) and lasagna. The pasta was very simple, something that I can make at home. However the stand out of the night were the clams and mussels sautéed in butter and garlic. SO amazing and HUGE portion. Service was slow but that is normal for Europe(vs US). Other than that, dinner was A-OK. Not horrible, not mind blowing. But I’d recommend this restaurant depending on what you order.

Decent vegetarian options and not overly expensive. The bread was good, but not homemade. We had only pasta and cannot judge the seafood, but the pasta was pretty good. The spinach and cheese filled pasta was what we liked best. It took a while for the bill to come though. Make sure to check your bill for mistakes however. They also automatically give a cover charge, so watch out for that. It was around 12 euros for no apparent reason so that docked a star.

We ended up here because La Zucca was full. They seated us right away, now I know why. The food was bland and not very taste. Pasta at home out of a box is better. I recommend keep walking. Staff was courteous and nice and that’s the reason for two stars.

The location is quite nice and they have tables outside if the weather is good. They were able to accommodate a party of 5 pretty much right away on Saturday night which was great. We mostly got the house specials and they were tasty. The wine list shows only by the bottle but we got the house white(not listed) in a ½ carafe and it was quite good. Based on the above factors, I would have rated the restaurant a 4 or 5 but the service was disorganized and slow. They were friendly and polite but there didn’t seem to be a system for who was working what tables. The staff would get pulled to another table or task and not return. I understand the Italian tradition lends to savoring long meals but it shouldn’t take two requests, almost an hour, and three staff to bring the bill to the table.

Four of us dined here for dinner(October 2013). I had been here once before in 2010 and enjoyed the food. We were lucky to get a table right away, as the place was nearly full. It was about 8pm. Unfortunately we couldn’t get a table outside, which has a lovely setting next to a small canal and bridge. Service was slow at the beginning but we weren’t in a rush. I had the lasagna and a side salad for dinner, while Tony had the pasta Bolognese. Friends were with us(don’t remember their meals) and we shared some house wine. When we got our bill, my lasagna was not listed, so I told our waitress(Silvia). She was so very appreciative of our honesty that she thanked me three times and then offered us complimentary lemoncello. Dinner for the two of us was 32.50 euros, which I think is reasonable for expensive Venice. The next time I return I’ll be sure to see about reserving a table outside.

Ce restaurant nous avait été conseillé par un guide. Nous n’avons vraiment pas été déçu. Le personnel était très sympathique(le serveur parle très bien français), les plats sont bons et préparés avec des produits frais(le jambon de parme en entrée était monumental!!) Un peu difficile à trouver(n’hésitez pas à demander votre chemin à un vénitien) mais vaut vraiment le détour. Concernant les prix c’était raisonnable. Pour nous 64EUR pour deux boissons(non alcoolisées), deux entrées, deux plats, deux desserts. A noter, les cartes bleus sont acceptés et le service non compris ce qui est rare à Venise.
