Great atmosphere with contemporary jazz in the background, this fun find is a blend of tradition and innovation, this was the place to move past typical pastas and embrace the chef’s vision. We started out with a fried fish appetizer served with potato foam. The tiny fish were coated with a whiff of breading so they had the slightest crunch. The potato foam was almost like a light mayonnaise. Our main courses were the Cod Ravioli and the Quail with figs and lard.

Read moreVittoria dal 1938 is an amazing artistic jewel just off the Grand Canal. We wanted to duck in for a quick bite as we had a late big lunch but ended up with a very satisfying experience. Extremely welcoming wait staff!! Matilda was happy to have me try out various wines till we found one that suited our taste. Chef Nikolo has created a menu full of surprises.

BTW they have a great selection of music which is a nice mood...

The establishment doesn’t have a direct view of the tables bu the canal. So we had to wait a few minutes for someone to take our orders. But the coffee came quickly and it was really good. The tables that are by the canal belong to two different establishment. We didn’t know that and went staight in to the shop next to which the tables stood. They told me that they were not their tables amd show me where to go. When we came back for the beer we went straight to the establishment to order than went to sit. The staff is very friendly. The establishment is decorated very warmly the view of the tables is amazing....
