Il Timone Pizzeria — Restaurant in Venice

The night before my flight back, I was searching for a place to eat near my hotel and accidentally stumbled upon this pizzeria. I originally planned to grab a simple pizza without expecting much, but this place ended up making my evening.

I respect the fact that kitchen has such hours however I think it would be fair to notify potential customers about kitchen hours in advance (online) so that they do not waste time going there and looking for another place when they find that food is not served at 10...
