Traveler reviews
Rhys Thomas
★★★★★4 months agoFully deserving of its already high rating. We visited twice already and might come again on our final day. Location is great, overlooking the basilica. Staff are really friendly. We tried a few different wines and they were all great - my favourite was the Pecorino. The cicchetti was also tasty, especially the fritti. All of this was really good value - €3 to €6 for wine and around €4 for cicchetti. Would recommend!

★★★★★10 months agoThis place was not far from our Airbnb and we checked it out as it was very highly rated. They did not disappoint. All our drinks were excellent. Crustinis were amazing. One of the baristas gave us a recommendation for a local restaurant and it was also fantastic. Espresso martinis were the best we had in Venice.
