Right next to the La Fenice theater, this establishment stands out for its elegance and the quality of its service. Its history is the stuff of legend: frequented as early as 1720, it became America's favorite café in 1945. Closer to home, Sir Elton John and Maria Callas have spoken highly of it! Big names in Venetian culture visit regularly and its romantic atmosphere, in a small, quiet square (on days when there are no performances at La Fenice), will make for a delightful evening. The "risotto dello chef" is a must.

The location is great, right next to La Fenice Opera House. It's a nice looking spot. The food looked nice, but had zero flavor -- both the appetizer, and the main course. My dining partner and I both ordered fish of the day. We specifically told the waiter we wanted two of the same type of fish. Yet a different guy brought out two different fishes, and asked if we each wanted to share half of each type. When we explained that it was not what we ordered, he did not seem to understand, and showed us the two types they cooked, so we told him to serve us each half of each type. The food was lukewarm, and utterly flavorless. We sat through the entire meal, and the waiter never came back, not once, to either check on how we were doing, ask if we wanted or needed anything, or apologize for getting our order wrong. Even seeing that much of the food went uneaten, he never asked if there was something wrong. He went from being nice at first, to being wholly indifferent to us being there, perhaps because he was embarrassed for getting the order wrong, but didn't have the courage or the training to apologize. It was a crazy high price to pay for mediocre food, and poor service. Very disappointing.

We sat in the enclosed patio which was very pleasant. Started with the local honey marinated prawns which were excellent. Second course was pasta bolognese which was equally good. Our mains were beef tenderloin and sea bass which were good but not exceptional. Shared crème brûlée for dessert which was top notch. We had three glasses of valpolicella which were solid. 172 euros for the meal. Not inexpensive for the quality of the mains but great atmosphere.

Beautiful atmosphere with art on the wall. We sat in the front indoor area. Very comfortable. The sea bass dishes were delicious. A lot of beautiful people were eating there too.

Got a table outside for a drink next to the restaurant under grape trees and with a view to the church and theater
Quiet escape
