This restaurant should already have a Michelin star! Amazing service & amazing quality of dishes. A full story behind each dish & each ingredient. The staff was very nice & careful to all the details. Best quality-price restaurant in Venice!

Really good food. Not amazing food, for a very expensive Michelin recommendation. A great assortment on the tasting menus, plenty big portions to fill up. Beautifully presented. Attentive waiters & the sommelier around all night. The food was just under seasoned & wasn't quite the wow factor, & 3 different dishes we had all had a similar root vegetable puree with them. I'm really not even a food snob, but to come splurge one night $100 each before wine it wasn't any better food than a couple osteria we had for 1/2 the price.

Totally recommended. In a great city with highly variable quality restaurant food & experience this place just nails it. It is classic high quality european dining. The menu is there to challenge & please as you wish with both traditional venetian & typical modern dishes. (e.g. Beef tongue or duck). Cooking is sophisticated. The service is exceptional. I'd imagine the tasting menu is exceptional but we went a la carte. The decor is warm & feels special. It's a bit expensive but not outrageous or in any way exploitative & worth every cent. You could visit with your partner or friends or family. Plently of options & price points. Special shout out to Stephane the somellier. A true partner to you & the restaurant to enhance your dining experience; give him free rein! I'll be back every time I come back to Venice. I rarely give 5 stars for anything.

The food is not just excellent but includes another dimension by categorizing dishes by the time periods they were available or introduced. For example, there are dishes that were common before the new world was discovered - no tomatoes, corn, etc. We started with two oysters each then had two antipasti: scallops & sturgeon. My wife had smoked eel & I had the liver Veneziana. Both were amazing, but the smoked eel's presentation was memorable by itself. We finished with Panna Cotta, espresso drinks, & a remarkable 2019 Trenaltri.

This is a lovely, elegant restaurant tucked away in an alley a short distance from Piazza San Marco. The food is simply exquisite. For those who are interested in tasting a variety of historical reproductions of centuries-old dishes, I highly recommend the tasting menus (lunch or dinner). Each dish is prepared with utter mastery & served as a work of art. Paired with a good wine (of which there are many to choose) this is a divine experience for the palate. The staff are very polite & professional with extensive knowledge about the food. I highly recommend this restaurant on your trip to gorgeous Venezia.

My wife & I came here to celebrate our 4th anniversary & our experience was truly magical. Our cameriere—as well as the supporting staff—was exceptional. We speak only a little Italian, but he was very patient, encouraging, friendly, & professional! In addition to the outstanding service, the food was truly divine. Every dish was inspired & perfectly executed. While each course was delicious, my wife & I agreed that the anchovy starter,
langua salmistrada, & tiramisu each stood out as particularly special; indeed, each ranked at the top of all the dishes we’ve tried at high-end restaurants. From service to kitchen, our experience was nothing short of perfection. We will certainly be back in the future!

Best meal on Italy trip. I am a foodie & amateur chef...left so amazed at the quality, detail & uniqueness of the dishes. This may be the best dining experience I have had.

Close to St Mark’s Square, this is probably the best restaurant in Venice for foodies. We had raw giant red prawn from Sicily that would be excellent for sashimi or sushi, tender beef tongue with historical garnishes; smoked eel, pasta with a rich seafood sauce, & duck breast. All dishes were delicately prepared with well balanced flavors. The restaurant offers both an a la carte as well as tasting menus. There are both historical & modern sections of the menu. There is both inside & outside seating in a quiet alley. Service was top notch. Will definitely come back when we visit Venice again.
