Some highlights of our meal here: 1. Wonderful gluten free options. They have gluten free break & crackers, 4 types of gluten free pasta, plus a number of other gluten free dishes. Pretty much the entire menu can be made gluten free, including cheesecake or tiramisu for dessert. 2. The staff gave us a “special deal” on a bottle of wine, which I suspect is normal so they can sell more wine. Either way, the wine was great and it seemed nearly every table was enjoying a similar experience. To contradict a previous review, our waiter DID do a wine check, smelling the cork and having us taste a small bit before pouring glasses. I noticed many other tables experience this as well. 3. Service was good. Dining in many countries is a much slower pace than in America, so be prepared to take your time and relax. You can always ask for the bill when you are ready to go. 4. Food was good. Traditional al dente pasta in many forms & flavors. The menu highlights typical Venetian cuisine, so you can eat like a local if you choose. 5. Staff brought complimentary cookies (even gluten free!!) and limoncello to our table to end our meal. It was wonderful. Gluten free pasta pictured.

Me and my aunt were looking for a place to eat around 10pm, we still hadn’t had our dinner yet and this restaurant was the only place that would still let us eat there. The two men that served us were incredibly nice and very welcoming. Although we did feel like we had to rush a little since the restaurant closes at 10:30pm the atmosphere was very warm. They brought us appetisers (bread, butter and non-alcoholic drinks) without us asking for it, it was a pleasant surprise for us. Later when we payed for the bill we did find out they charged us €5 for it even if we didn’t ask for it but in our opinion it didn’t really matter that much, if you would mind this maybe this place isn’t for you. The food was very delicious, the portions were pretty small but when we were done eating we felt like we could explode (in a good way btw). After they took our plates away they gave us some biscuits and watermelon while we payed, like how some restaurants give you limoncello. The place is very chique and we might have felt a little out of place with our flip-flops but such a nice experience nevertheless.

Went in the restaurant with excitement and curiosity came out the experience with disappointment, the feeling of discriminated and shocked. Main issues: Bad service -Was not offered dessert/ limoncello -Took 30 mins for bill to arrive at our table -People received better service in a timely and professional manner compared to us. Result: As we were the minority and younger customer base in the restaurant and dinning this evening, it made us felt extremely discriminated. Bad reputation for the rest of the Venetian and Venice citizen, who works hard to excel to maintain high level of tourism and customer service. Background story: We was never offered dessert or Limoncello even tables around us who came in and finish the main course after us was seen to and served dessert before us, made us felt invisible and unappreciated. Lost our appetite for dessert 20 mins after we finished our mains and not being offer dessert and therefore ask for the bill with 2 different waiter/ess on 3 different occasion. Took the bills 30 mins to arrive at the table. Once waiter received payment, he just walked off and didn't even bother with the farewell.... A real shame on the service front as the food were amazing but destroyed by the front of house. Thanks for ruining our last evening in Venice, despite the amazing hospitality and reception we have received from the rest of Venetian in the last 3 days.

Almost damning with faint praise. Was really looking forward to going to this place. It’s a beautiful space - an old boat builders. And it’s leaning on its history in not the most satisfying ways… to say old school is to understate it. Waiters in formal dress from the last century yeah, the 80’s (when waiter chic was at its finest), formally laid tables, free (slightly too sweet) cocktails on arrival and (hold your breath!) a dessert trolley!!! We were astounded to see one! (Cheese trolley - now you’re talking!) We ate seafood on a Sunday, but this place does have a reputation for seafood - so why not! It doesn’t have a reputation for overcooked seafood, but from our experience, maybe it should. In classic old school style, they showed us the food, then plated it for us (we’re actually ok with cutlery on our own!) and even (over) dressed our salad for us. Service was excellent- as you’d expect. Tempted by the trolley as we were, we declined and settled with the (ubiquitous) free lemoncello and the much more delightful and less common crostolli. An enjoyable night. Anytime we want to remember how far dining has come - we’ll come back. Food - good, but I expected better Service - excellent Summary - old school, so depends if that’s what you want
