La comida, de 10. El ambiente, de 10. Y la ubicación… romántica no, lo siguiente. Si vais, reservad y pedid mesa en la terraza: es simplemente preciosa.

Además, fui por mi 50 cumpleaños y tuvieron un detalle que no olvidaré: llegaron con las velas y me cantaron el cumpleaños feliz. 🥹 Un momento precioso que hizo que la experiencia fuera todavía más especial.

Y hablando de la comida, hemos comido en otros sitios de Venecia bastante más caros y, sinceramente, con mucha menos calidad y mucho menos encanto.

Un lugar para recordar, para recomendar y, sin duda, para volver. ❤️

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Super cosy, definitely would have preferred to sit outside, but probably need to reserve that. The food was good, service was maybe a bit slow and we were sat right by the swinging kitchen doors and bathroom which wasn’t ideal.
