The food was scrumptious! Authentic italian cuisine. I really like the magheritta pizza!!? and for dessert we had strawberry panna cotta and tiramisu. They were amazing! We were served by ryan. He was so nice and friendly. this place is totally recommended bcs the price is very reasonable and i love the service! Thanks ryan and Leoncini!

I almost left no review but we were treated poorly so I wanted to warn others. The staff were very friendly and welcoming at first. I should have seen the signs when we got there on a Saturday and the restaurant was completely empty. The bread was not freshly made, you could tell it was either frozen or store bought and cheap. My husband got the carbonara and said it was just okay. The sauce was a little broken and greasy. The real issue was my meal. I got the chicken Milanese and fried potatoes. The chicken was flavorless and very dry. I only took 2 bites and told my husband I couldn’t eat it. He tried one bite and agreed with me that it was bad. I waived our waiter over and apologized and said that I didn’t not like the chicken. He said multiple times that “the chicken is fresh” and that they serve the chicken every day and I’m the only one who doesn’t like it. I told him I’ve had chicken Milanese before and this chicken was dry and had no flavor. He went on again about it being fresh and how they serve so many everyday. He never once apologized that I didn’t like it, ask if I wanted a new one, or offer anything as a replacement. Finally after going back and forth for a few minutes I told him I wasn’t arguing with him and that he could take the plate and that I would not be paying for it. We were ignored for the rest of the time we were there and finally my husband had to ask if we could please have the check. Honestly if they had just said I’m sorry you don’t like it would you like anything else, I would have said no thank you and just paid for the food. But arguing with me about it and being belittling and rude.. that was too much. Also just to add, apparently “fried potatoes” is French fries. Frozen, not even fresh.

Very welcoming! They have variety of seafood dishes.

Steps away from St Mark's Square, this was great find. 2nd night in Venice... figured I'll try to find a good steak. €7 per 100g (which calculates out to $32 +/- per lb/ for T-bone steak) I splurged for 1 1/2 lb. The presentation was as follows. Lightly seared steak arrives at your table with hot cast iron hand skillet with salt seasoning. The waiter proceeds to carved all meat from the bone into strips. Places them on scalding hot skillet, where you can be sure to finish cooking to your own desire. Served with few sautéed veggies, and French fries. We has starter of melon and prosciutto. Very generous portion !!!

Went there for lunch. We’ve had a T Bone Steak, and Sea food Pasta. The Steak was excellent, totally enjoyed the experience. The pasta was very good as well. Totally enjoyed the meal.

excellent food at reasonable prices and amazing service. the best in Venice. thank you, see you again in a year!❤️??

The restaurant was very good located: close to the San Marco square. We thought it would be very expensive, but actually the price was really good for this location. And maybe the most important thing: the food was actually very good. Also the service was perfect: the ober was very friendly and funny! I can recommend this place!

I felt compelled to leave a review as this restaurant has made my stay in Venice well worth it. I was taken care of, fed well and finished it off with a nice wine. I do highly recommend this restaurant for its service and very tasty food.
