El Sbarlefo San Pantalon — Restaurant in Venice

We were passing by as we headed to the San Pantalon church during the daytime, and the atmosphere inside looked wonderful. We grabbed some drinks. There was a gentleman who was both attentive and polite. When we considered having something to eat in the evening, we remembered this bar and decided to come back, even if it meant taking a long walk.

The place was almost empty this evening. Which I found strange indeed (even though it is a bit secluded) because food was great, the owner friendly and the feel very warm. There was nothing wrong about it.

Thank you for this experience :)
