    Good Italian food and wine in. Friendly service and a great canal-side spot. Love the managers responses to poor ratings on google, she doesn’t hold back 😂

    Awesome Venetian place with great fish on Fridays. There's mortadella, strong negronis and evening sun. Win. Book to be on the save side.

    Come here, drink here, eat here. Maybe avoid the dried cod mousse, do have a Cynar spritz, do enjoy. I think it's wonderful.

    The food is great and great value, but the cheesecake, dare I say it, is better than sex.

    Disappointment. Starter:plate of ham-over-priced. Mains:steak-like eating pure salt and fish terrine with polenta-tasteless and a bit sickly. Redeeming feature: good service and italian atmosphere

    Not really worth it. Really expensive drinks, warm beer, slow service and quite average food.

    Do not go if more than two tables are occupied. Service is beyond appalling. Staff will not even register you presence.

    Turned up on a booking and kitchen had closed. They could not be bothered to give me a call when they could have seen this coming. Guy in charge claimed HE.DID.NOT.KNOW. Can you believe it? 🙄
