    This was a special night out for my wife and I while in Italy for a 2 week vacation. Not our first time to Venice but it was our first time to this restaurant. The food and service were beyond compare. Giuseppe made excellent menu recommendations and Micha paired the perfect vino with each course. If you are looking for the most delicious food and top notch service in an outstanding atmosphere this is your place. The seafood, beef, pasta, wine and desserts were levels above the rest!

    We enjoyed this very small and quaint restaurant in a quiet district of Venice. It is a beautiful walk along the quieter canals from San Marco area. The food and service were excellent. The restaurant is a little quiet so you are whispering. Mostly tourists. No locals. But overall very good.
