any occasion"
REVIEWS
Un'esperienza incredibile in un ristorante che serve Venezia dal 1719. Cenare nel plateatico di Campo Santa Maria del Giglio, a pochi passi dal Teatro La Fenice, è pura magia. Abbiamo assaggiato gli antipasti della tradizione e il pesce era freschissimo. Un vero tuffo nella storia veneziana con un servizio impeccabile."
"THE PERFECT PLACE FOR ANY OCCASION"
After visiting St. Mark’s Square, we found this historic jewel. We skipped the tourist traps and were rewarded with an authentic meal. The Spaghetti 'al nero di seppia' was rich and flavorful , and my husband loved the 'Fegato alla veneziana' with polenta. It’s the perfect spot to stop while walking toward the Accademia Bridge."

We had a wonderful dinner on the terrace. The seafood sauté (cozze e vongole) was a highlight , followed by a perfect grilled seabass. You can feel the 300 years of history in every detail. Prices are fair for the quality and the prime location near the Grand Canal and Accademia. Highly recommended!"

"Trovare un ristorante così antico (dal 1719!) che mantiene questa qualità è raro. Il menu offre tutti i classici: dalle Seppie in umido con polenta agli Scampi alla Busara. Atmosfera raffinata ma accogliente. Un punto di riferimento essenziale tra Piazza San Marco e il Ponte dell'Accademia."
