Lovely place to eat. I am very impressed with the services and the foods. The gentleman that serve me was very pleasant, very knowledgeable and very professional. He served and recommended the food with a great passion and enthusiasm.

The mixed seafood/ fish starter for two, the grilled fish/seafood platter and seafood pasta were all perfect. Also the Merlot. Got a limoncello on the house. We highly appreciated recommendations for food and wine upon our request and personal preferences. The service of all personnel was particularly polite and pleasant. Also appreciated the jazz music and great fluffy seating. I'd say this was an outstanding experience of our stay in Northern Italy, at only a few steps of Piazza San Marco.

Loved this little out of the way cafe! Atmosphere goood with exception of smoke wafting in but that’s not their fault. Wait staff was exceptional!
