  By far the best food we've had in Venice! The pasta was amazing!! Along with the service. We started with the pesto spaghetti then moved on to the Carbonara but changed the pasta from spaghetti to tagliatelle. We closed out the pasta experience with the four cheese ñoquis(not photographed)! For dessert (always a must) we had the home-made tiramisu and the chocolate panna cotta. We plan on going back for their pizza and probably more pasta!! Definitely a must-try when visiting Venice.

  If you are wondering if this is a tourist trap, let me just say this. This place is one alley away from the most touristy spot in Venice. We only decided to eat here because we were too tired and didn't want to spend energy looking for another place.
  
  - spaghetti with bolognese sauce tasted like home made (by me, that is). Actually, no, mine is better.
  
  - lasagne tasted like frozen food
  
  - Pretended to gave us free bread, but then charged €4 for it. When we asked what the line item on the check is, they tried to blame us saying, we checked with you. No you didn't. We would not pay €4 for stale bread.
  
  - the bread basket consisted of 2-3 stale dinner rolls and 2 plastic bags of the long crispy bread sticks. I saw them put the unopened breadstick bags from someone's table back to the pile. Our basket which had 1 leftover roll was put on the bread table when they were cleaning up. I can only assume they were planning to put the bread roll, which we had touched with our hands, back into the pile that would be destined for others.

  A good spot - very friendly and helpful service. Close to saint mark square - in the midst of many touristy/salesy options I'd recommend this one.

  When you're hungry in one of the most tourist-soaked places in the world it can be hard to figure out what's good! We were steps from San Marco and "interviewed" a few of the restaurants in the strip. I whipped out my phone and saw that this place had many reviews and over 4 star average. I also saw a pasta come out and it looked delicious and huge, lol. SOLD!!! Where can we sit?!!
  
  My pasta I ate here has been the best pasta of this whole trip to Italy (a plate of creamy strozzapreti in Bologna gets an honorable mention, hehe). The gnocchi were delicious too. The service was prompt and warm too. One of the older waiters was singing, hehe.  I may be coming back to Venice in a month or two and I will be back here. Raccomando!!! Tutto buonissimo!

  This place is amazing! A year later and I still can't stop thinking about their lobster fettuccine. This is by far the best meal I ever had in Italy!
