    This was one of our favorite dinners in Venice. We happen to find this place tucked off a small side street. We arrived before they opened for dinner service which I suggest. This is only because it's a nice small eatery and will fill up fast.

    The interior is like an updated home feel. They have the curtains closed so you can enjoy eating. The staff was sooooo wonderful and hospitable.

    My boyfriend had the set dinner menu which was amazing (you'll see in the pics). I shared his food...of course!  I had one of my faves the spaghetti with clams (Spaghetti alle vongole) which was perfect and the pasta was al dente. Seasoned perfectly.

    I had asked about a spirit they had there Grappa the staff was so sweet and brought me some to taste! I loved everything about this place and would def revisit. I felt like I was a guest at their home!

    The other dishes will be explained in the pics

    Saw this place on google map, but walked by it by chance.

    We were the last table they took for lunch.

    - spaghetti with black ink and Venetian cuttlefish is decent, but different from what Ive had before. The ink is not made into the pasta, but used in the sauce. The sauce is a little bit fishy, but I imagine that's due to the ink and the squid pieces.

    - lasagne came in a shallow clay pot. It was tasty. We tried to scoop out the sauce clean at the end.

    - warm octopus salad tasted very bland. The dressing was olive oil. I think some balsamic vinaigrette may have been good. The octopus was the fresh and soft, not chewy at all.

    - service was good. The lady was very friendly.

    Wow. What amazing food, service, staff, and ambiance! If I return to Venice ever this will definitely be added to our itinerary...again! Our server was excellent, he helped us pair everything with the wine we chose. After dinner espresso and desserts were also swell! This place is a little hidden so you have to walk the paths of Venice a bit, however it perfectly works up an appetite! Try this place...you won't regret it!

    This spot is so quaint and small, just precious! We liked how intimate the setting was and we enjoyed the food. Our palettes are not quite used to "true Italian cuisine" so there were many things on the menu we weren't prepared to dive into, but the lasagna was delicious and homemade from scratch, A+. They did not have a dessert menu but there food was well made and definitely fresh ingredients.

    There's a reason why there are a ton of reviews and photos of the squid ink ravioli.  It's THAT good peeps, get it!  The best dishes were the grilled scallops, saor and the squid ink ravioli.  You can pass on the cuttlefish (sandy and muddy) and the pistachio stuffed squid (just ok).  Service was very good as well.  

    We went for lunch and had no issues grabbing a table.  Reservations are a must for dinner though.
