The people could not care for you. My wife and I went here for lunch today. We were looking forward to the seafood pasta. We ordered food and a bottle of wine, which was very good. Suddenly, a server was in too much of a rush going by our table and dropped a bowl of Parmesan on our table which shattered, spilling Parmesan all over me and glass shards across the table. One hit my wife on the cheek about one inch below her eye. The staff was only concerned about cleaning up the mess. About a minute later my wife told me my elbow was bleeding and I had a blood stain on my silk shirt. Still NO ONE GAVE ANY concern for our injuries.
We said we were leaving to go to our hotel which was nearby to see if we had any other injuries since no one seemed to cared. I think they were glad that the rest of their problem left. Stay away!

The restaurant is not affiliated with the hotel of the same name. I had an average meal here of linguini with pesto sauce and a side salad. Good but nothing to write home about. With a bottle of sparkling water the bill came to around 27 Euros just for me. Good location just off St. Mark’s Square.

We were wandering Venice for our 1^st dinner.
Pro:
–We liked the friendly waiter who greeted us at door without being pushy.
–My husband is super picky and loves the lasagna. He gives it a 5.
–Fun festive music. Not too loud.
–cozy and clean
–cockle mussel soup was delish
–tiramisu– divine. We normally share a dessert. We Ordered 2.
Con:
The only thing was carpaccio.
It was fresh. Good cheese.
Carpaccio too chewy for my taste.
My husband thought it was fine. Not his dish.
addition:
Hungry and ate here Again.
–baby shrimp with lemon-​pretty good. I like that they are warm
–spaghetti with meat sauce-​hubby liked. Nicely mixed in
–cuttlefish Venetian style– unique. Cuttlefish was fresh. Tasted interesting. It’s in ink sauce. I was being adventurous. Not my style. I’m seeking «the» best dish on Venice and exploring unique stuff
Ps: great service and customer satisfaction

On a recent trip to Venice, Diane and I had a great dinner here. While consciously looking for a suitable place to dine, after weaving our way from St. Mark’s Square through narrow, wall-​hugging streets rendered slippery from drizzle, as in a labyrinth, suddenly we were face to face with this well-​lit establishment. The place looked good from the outside; black-​apron clad waiters were professionally attired; and the exterior window display of various types of pasta beckoned. All indications pointed to a fine dining ristorante rather than a tourist trap. So we went inside to take our chances – and were not disappointed.
Taking advantage of a fine culinary experience when I find it, and knowing that it would be a long time before I would return, I ordered and ate heartily. A heaping antipasta plate with assorted meats and Buffalo Mozzarella was a nice beginning, followed by cooked Mussels & Clams sitting in a tasty tomato-​specked wine sauce. While bread in the broth was somewhat burned, this did not at all negatively affect the taste of the well-​prepared crustaceans or broth.
Next up were primo courses of Spaghetti & Sausage for me, and Rigatoni Alfredo for Diane. Veal Scaloppine with Mushrooms bathed in a fine cream sauce was a delicious main. And we finished with Tiramisu and giant scoops of Gelati in four flavors. Service was indeed professional and efficient, and the ambiance intimate and romantic. It was reassuring that locals and travelers alike dined here while we did, and that a classy dish like Branzino was cooked under a salt crust, and then served tableside.
I will surely return here on my next visit to Venice.
