We been yesterday, nice cozy restaurant The food here is high quality we had amazing pasta and focaccia Highly recommended

ristorante a pochi passi dal Excelsior, quindi ottima posizione. antipasti e polpo nella norma. forse i prezzi un po 'altini per le porzioni offerte. Ver carta

Great hospitality, very good value and delicious meat ragu pasta that went very nicely with their Valpolicello wine. It’s the second time we’ve been on this trip and we’ve been on previous trips too

Abbiamo trovato per caso io e la mia ragazza questo ristorante sabato 9 ed essendo durante l'evento del cinema di Venezia c'era molta gente e non avevamo prenotato ma ci hanno dato comunque la possibilità di cenare all'aperto ed anche molto bene, ringrazio quindi il personale per la disponibilità, prezzi giusti e non elevati.

With a little free time on my own for lunch, I took a short stroll to La Tavernetta for lunch. There are many foods that can be found all over the world, I like try them in their place of origin to assess how they are supposed to be made. I started with a local prosciutto, which was phenomenal. It was far less salty than a lot of prosciutto I’ve had in the states. I also love fried calamari, so I ordered the Mixed Fried Adriatic Seafood, which was primarily calamari and shrimp, and also included clams and zucchini chips. The proprietor was friendly and attentive, all in all it was a terrific lunch. Ver carta

this restaurant was recommended by the concierge of the neighboring hotels, hotel excelsior. 1 minute walk. it soon turned out that reservation was extremely useful. the staff was helpful, professional and spoke very good English. they had some really interesting dishes and we needed really help to choose. our dishes, my antipasto, focaccia gourmet (la veggie) and my gnocchi were also amazing. and our wine, a wonderful sauvignon blanc from veneto, was a great couple of our food. there were no children's menus, but they were flexible and have prepared a delicious pasta alla bolognese for our sons. the desserts were fabulous to close. excellent, excellent, excellent!

Do not eat here. If you’re planning on eating here it’s probably because it’s near your hotel and you don’t fancy the boat ride back to St Marc’s. Having had the misfortune of eating at this establishment I can honestly say I’d rather swim back to st Marc’s and find a better alternative (Burger King would be better). The restaurant stank of wet dog and the food was horrific. Service was haphazard at best and it wasn’t cheap at 100euro for two with no wine. I paid 160 euro for lunch at Al Covo and was happy to pay it, at this place I felt I’d been robbed. Awful awful awful. Avoid. The website and images make it look fancy the reality is anything but. It’s a tourist trap and a bad one at that.

We were attracted by the recent very positive reviews and the references to recommendations of 5* Hotel Excelsior concierge and went for dinner. Some items on the menu were not available including any fresh fish to cook on the grill. Chianina beef tartar turned out to be rather bland raw substance apparently prepared in a meat-mincer rather than being hand chopped with a slick of sweet-peppery sauce on the side. This dish definitely would be improved if properly seasoned, grilled and served in a bun with fries under a fancy name of some designer hamburger. My octopus with boiled potatoes and olives was just OKish with a small tentacle overcooked and thus bland with olives of a quality I woul... Ver carta
