This is a fabulous restaurant! From the minute you walk in the door, you feel welcomed and that they are happy you chose them. The service was impeccable and the food was absolutely delicious! The chef came out to our table to meet us. We took friends and this has now become their favorite restaurant. I would highly recommend this restaurant!

Food was great as usual. Found the noise level high and the lighting was brighter than the last time we went a few weeks ago which spoiled the ambience for us. But still a good experience.

Staff were great, ambience was fine but most of all the food was excellent. All four of us had excellent meals and a fantastic shared salad. We've been here before but this time the experience was positively memorable.

Always an excellent meal. The atmosphere is relaxed and lovely with white tables and perfect lighting. The food is absolutely delicious. We have had almost everything on the menu and it never disappoints. The best falafel that comes with hummus and a small salad but is plenty to share. My husband had the special which was swordfish, phenomenal. I had the chicken that was cooked perfectly and juicy. So much food we always take some home. Dessert was special as the chef made chocolate baklava that had a white mousse along, which is now our new favorite. You are guaranteed an excellent meal here, a treasure in Venice.

Hidden gem! My husband had the lobster ravioli which were full of tender lobster and shrimp. Chicken fettuccine was delicious too. The care of our waiter JP and all the staff is something everyone feels when you dine here! Why go far when this place is right in Venice! So cute and cozy inside you feel like you might be in Greece!
