Traveler reviews

★★★★★4 months agoInteresting experience to order here. No line up. Just walk up to the counter and order what you want. Option to take away. Option to eat inside, standing. There is a cellar room in the back of the bar for standing. No sitting. No wc. Food was interesting. We tried a few cicchetti. Some are great. Some not great. It depends on what you choose and your taste buds. Nice place to take a break.
Rachel Verges
★★★★★4 months agoA great local spot for cicchetti and a nice selection of wines. The cicchetti are delicious and offer excellent value for money. The staff are also very kind and welcoming. The place located right in front of a gondola garage, and the view makes the place feel even more special. A must see!
