The restaurant is in a great location with good service, but the food was just borderline okay. For the price, I expected better.

The highlight of my experience was the hostess—she was absolutely amazing, explaining all the dishes in detail. Honestly, her warm welcome and knowledge were the main reasons I decided to dine here. The restaurant was fairly quiet, and I was seated almost immediately. My table had a nice view of the canal, where I could watch gondolas passing by, which added to the pleasant atmosphere.
