Great location right on the main square! The second floor is cool and comfortable with air conditioning. The food was amazing—especially the seafood spaghetti. Jacopo, our server, was super friendly, fast, and helpful. Manager Carlo was warm and attentive. One of the best service experiences I’ve had in Venice!

Following a recommendation by Fillipo Zane from Atelier Cuisine Venice we sought out this restaurant on Burano. Walk by those places that claim to offer Venetian cuisine and head here. Staff and customer service were exemplary . The food was fresh and prepared with care and honesty. We went for Sarde in saor, caprese, frittua di pesce and filetto di orata. Superb , a real highlight . The owner graciously told us about his restaurant , the pride he has in his staff and food of Venice , his was the best example of all GRAZIE MILLE!!… superbly smooth Liquorice liqueur!!!

Great restaurant in Burano - Vongole tasted ok, clams were smallest size that we ever had tho - mixed fried seafood was great just a bit too salty, better with a squeeze of lemon and their tartar sauce Great service and clean toilet!

We had a fabulous lunch at the recommendation of a manager in a Murano glass factory. The owner, Carlo was incredibly gracious and so helpful! The food was superb. Carlo even helped us arrange a water taxi to get back to Venice as well providing recommendations on lace shops. We got to spend some time speaking with him and learned a lot about the area and Italy in general. Thank you, Carlo for the fabulous meal and tremendous hospitality!

Loved everything about this restaurant and after spending a week in Italy I have to say it was my favourite meal. Try the spaghetti with anchovie sauce... Omg .. Packed with flavour! The clam sauce was a close second and the sardine appetizer was delicious. Highly recommended and a food highlight of our trip.

While visiting Burano we came here for lunch… They have amazing service and a very nice menu, offering all the popular local, Italian dishes. The food we tried was made with very fresh ingredients. Their salad misto to start was excellent, especially when sprinkled with salt & pepper and then EVOO and balsamic – YUMMMM!!!! Next up was to try their table bread, the knotted bread was so soft on the inside and tasty – loved it! For entrées we tried their Ravioli di Carne Bianca and their Fusilli Pomodoro e Stracciatella – Both were fabulous! The ravioli was incredible and that buttery sauce was so tasty! We also ordered a side dish of their fries and those were incredibly tasty, crispy, and fresh! Highly suggest stopping in here – Great Eats, Service, Décor, and Flavors!!

A really beautiful restaurant. The staff couldn't be friendlier. A great selection of local dishes with an emphasis on seafood. We had a great cuttlefish and shrimp with candied celery salad too start. Spaghetti with clans to share was delicious. Finished with sea bread (orata) and cuttlefish in ink with fried polenta. Also had a nice local lager beer. Highly recommended.
