What can I say? . This review would be a drop in the ocean of amazing reviews this place has ! . Stumbled upon this place on 7th April as we were walking around the Jewish ghetto around 9:30pm, it was jam packed and had such an electric vibe . Went in and were lucky to get a table for 2 .Even the guys in the table next to us said this was the best place in Venice . The menu was only in Italian but our host Vlad patiently explained it to us . We had a couple of wines and the marinated sea food platter in the antipasti . It was absolutely brilliant . Freshest of fresh local sea food along with yummy veg. We were absolutely stuffed.Very nominally priced . Service was outstanding . They had made a small error on the bill and were so apologetic . Even gave us a free drink ❤️ This is probably the first ever resto that I’ve stepped out of and felt that I HAVE to give it a 10 star review They also have an option of drinks and chicherri (self service and outdoor seating) If you are going earlier , I guess it’s better to reserve a table especially if you’re in a bigger group and it seemed like a norm here . If you don’t reserve , they looked like they get free post 10pm . Service is excellent despite the crowd. Thank you again for the wonderful dinner and service !

We went a dinner with my mom.I love this place because usually their food is so nice.Julia helped our dinner and she was so kind sweet and helpful.I really appreciate her.In another hand when we found a moss into our shrimp we asked other man waiter to kindly change only two of the shrimps.This is not their fault cause its not possible to open and clean the shrimps i know but it was not smelling nice and then we kindly asked him if he can change.After that he’s behaviour was so contemptuous.He was like “This is how seafood is “with strange look on his face.Thank you,but i ate sea food before and i know how it is.He got upset and asked the buffet to change ,after that he learned shrimps are finished and he asked if we want anything else.I said no and he literally put the plate on the table in a really random way like “i dont care”.I didnt say anything about your food i even said that thats not your fault but why is that behaviour?.Why you got offended? And why you tried to teach me about seafood? He needs to be more kind and understanding for customers like Julia.I could give 3 for service but because of Julias kind behaviour i gave 4.Thank you.

Me lo recomendó el guía de un free tour y aunque mi madre y yo llegamos emocionadas, la experiencia gastronómica resultó ser un fiasco. No lo recomiendo, sobre todo por la poca amabilidad y empatía del servicio, que no pudo ser más desagradable. Como el restaurante se llena, los camareros no paran de trabajar y del estrés, como son pocos empleados para tanta gente, parece que llegan a perder el control. Atienden a los clientes rabiosos, enfadados y estresados. Cuando llegamos al restaurante, estaba a rebosar y nos mandaron esperar 40 minutos para darnos mesa. Lo comprendimos perfectamente porque era un viernes, sobre 20h, y no teníamos reserva. Mientras esperábamos los 40min, decidimos pedir una cerveza pero el camarero, totalmente estresado por la cantidad de clientela que tenía el restaurante, nos dijo que teníamos que esperar en la calle porque allí, en pleno pasillo de entrada, al lado de la barra, no podíamos quedarnos. Mi madre, de 70 años y yo, nos tuvimos que marchar a la calle a esperar 40 minutos mientras diluviaba. Al empaparnos totalmente en la calle, porque ni el paraguas aguantaba el chaparrón, decidimos entrar al local. El camarero se molestó muchísimo al vernos allí. Nosotras intentamos apartarnos y no molestar en el trabajo de los empleados. De verdad, llovía muchisimo fuera. No se podía estar en la calle de la cantidad de agua que caía. Mi madre tiene 70 años. Estar en la calle 15 minutos, como estuvimos, bajo esa lluvia, creo que era ya demasiado. Cuando llegó nuestro momento, tras otros 15min en el pasillo de entrada, y quedó una mesa libre para dos, el camarero, que seguía muy enfadado con nosotras por estar dentro del local, de forma muy malhumorada, nos condujo a la mesa. Nos sentamos allí empapadas porque obviamente, en el tiempo que nos echaron a la calle, nos pusimos como una sopa. Como no sabíamos cuáles eran las especialidades, le pedimos, por favor, a otro camarero una recomendación sobre qué pedir. No puso atención en nuestra explicación porque el local estaba lleno y al tener tanto trabajo, iba de un lado a otro intentando perder el menor tiempo posible con los clientes. Le dimos estas premisas: queríamos probar algo variado, (dos raciones distintas a compartir de la carta), que fueran típicas del restaurante, y siempre productos locales o de cercanía. Pero al camarero, que tenía mucha prisa por atender otras mesas, le dio totalmente lo mismo que le dijésemos que queríamos algo variado ya que nos recomendó dos platos casi idénticos: dos tablas de pescados, una ración normal y la otra de ellas, frita (como puede apreciarse en las fotos). Nosotras nos fiamos completamente de èl pensando que los platos de pescado serían totalmente diferentes pero lamentablemente eran iguales, sòlo se diferenciaban en la fritura. Salimos muy decepcionadas de aquel restaurante por todo. No dejamos ni propina porque nos marchamos dolidas. Entendemos que en ese restaurante entra a la vez mucha clientela y son muy pocos empleados, pero los clientes no deberíamos notar tan claramente ese estrés y prisas que se traen los camareros. Parece que en cualquier momento se van a poner a gritarte. Resulta como violento o agresivo hablar con ellos. El ambiente del restaurante, la decoración y el lugar que se ubica, son maravillosos pero no pudimos disfrutar de nada de esto porque los empleados oscurecen esta experiencia gastronómica. Nunca me he sentido peor, como turista y extranjera, que en este restaurante. No nos sentimos, para nada, bien tratadas.

Cash only. Remember to bring a wad of cash with you, otherwise you will be looking for an ATM which isn’t easy to find in Venice. This restaurant was recommended in several online articles on where to have seafood in Venice. Naturally, we were curious. Our third time in Venice but we had never ventured to this neighbourhood before, so we decided it was time. Main: I decided to order the mixed grill (3 types of fish, prawns, and a squid). My companion ordered the Caccio e Pepe (cheese and pepper pasta). Portions are generous and would have been more than enough for us, despite my companion having a healthy appetite. We were also recommended a starter which was a starter version of the mixed grill (which had a greater variety of items on it than the main course). I was surprised by this recommendation given I’ve ordered the mixed grill main course. Food was yummy, but we couldn’t finish everything in the end. Way too much for two especially the pasta (although it was a portion for one person). I’d recommend ordering the starter mixed grill and the caccio e pepe between two people and then see if you still have room for anything else.

After a healthy walk from San Marco, we enjoyed a yummy dinner and a litre of vino rosso de casa (served in a retro straw-wrapped bottle) in this neighborhoody spot. One nearby table of six seemed to be local guys who gathered for dinner after work. My house-made bucatini-ish pasta with perfectly cooked pieces of cuttlefish and nero seppia was darkly beautiful and its taste hinted of the sea. Sarah’s housemade tagliatelle with pesto was everything it should be. The decor had a distinctly nautical vibe, which was augmented by a ships bell that rang from the kitchen from time to time, for some unknown reason. There is an also a bandstand near the back, where a combo contributed a jazzy but strangely short performance to our experience. There is also outdoor seating along the canal.

The food we ate looked nothing like the photos other people have posted. We ordered a seafood pasta and a fried seafood platter. We also order some small bites like arancini, fried sardines and scallops. The small bites were really dry. Don't order it. My seafood pasta had tiny mussels, miniature clams, and meatless mantis shrimp. There was nothing else I tasted other than a lot of pasta and small tomatoes. The pasta was very hard way past al dente, and there was so much of it so it was a carb heavy dinner. There was barely any sauce, it didn't stick to the pasta. There was a decorative crab head but no crab meat. The entire dish didnt taste fresh. The fried seafood didn't have much meat either.
