Esperienza bellissima, piatti ottimi e di esecuzione impeccabile.
A mio avviso, il miglior ristorante di Venezia.
Our crudo was incredibly fresh, the crab pasta melted in your mouth and the sole was perfectly cooked.
Our best culinary experience in the city by a mile.
Recommendations on point, food quality fantastic, clientele also good. The team are amazing, as a solo traveller I haven't experienced service like this in Italy, anywhere else!
Bookings recommended, I managed to get a walk-in only because of a no-show
Etwas zweideutig ist der Hinweis an Ende der Speisekarte, dass die Bedienung im Preis nicht enthalten sei und man diese nach eigenem Ermessen bezahlen solle. So etwas darf es in Italien nicht geben
Di spessore la carta dei vini, dove la mia scelta andava dai " cugini" nel vicino Friuli, Venezia non si offenderà.....
Desidero ringraziare il titolare e la gentile signora per l'accoglienza e cortesia dimostrata, segno di grande rispetto, "merce" ormai rara in questo mondo consumistico...
As for the food itself - ignoring the fact that I got extremely sick from eating it - the experience was average at best. The ceviche was good, but nothing extraordinary. The spaghetti was over-seasoned, had an overpowering taste of wine and the clams were not properly cleaned (I bit down on hard debris). I deeply regret suffering through the plate instead of sending it back, which I should have done without hesitation.
The service was also below par. Inattentive, lazy and pretentious are the most fitting words to describe the service staff. One of the waiters had dirt under his fingernails. I waited 15 minutes from the time I asked for the cheque until I actually paid, even though I reminded two separate waiters that I was still waiting to pay. There were 2 other tables dining there at the time, and 3 waiters.
Overall, I found the experience underwhelming and extremely overpriced, the food (literally) sickening, and the service barely passable.
I will obviously not be returning here and, furthermore, I will be advising anyone who tells me they will visit Venice to avoid this place like the plague.
Das Service Personal war zuvorkommend, hat sich Zeit für jeden einzelnen Tisch genommen und ab und zu kam ein lustiger Spruch von ihnen.
Desserts were also very enjoyable, however, the rest of the food was a little bit disappointing.
The first antipasti with small shrimps and polenta was quite bland, the polenta did not have a very nice texture, and the shrimps were already crunchy. Also the taste of the polenta was not really there.
The fresh salad with raw fish was extremely nice.
The crab salad would have been very nice as well if the crab meat was not full of little bones, which gave the impression that the last bits of the crab were used.
The tuna steak would have been extremely nice as well if the tuna was cooked 2 minutes more. Even 1 minute more would ve been nice. The sauce and the taste were there, but the tuna was way too raw for a steak course.
