As it was piddling down all day, we stayed away from the island of Venice and focused on Mestre to get a flavour of the “real” Italy, away from the heaving tourist traps. Our taxi driver recommended this place, telling us it served mainly local dishes. We popped in and booked. Two of the staff spoke better English than we do Italian so no problems. It was a good job we did book, as it’s popular with the locals. Outside and downstairs by the bar it’s buzzing, loud and busy. The restaurant proper is upstairs. Nicely intimate, we had a window seat and were served promptly. The menu was good, mainly seafood, with each dish complemented by several wine recommendations. We had a bottle of white between us and two glasses of Prosecco each, a main each (I had pasta with shellfish) and shared a second main of fried fish/shellfish. The wines were good, as was the food. Total cost was c75. We will go back later this year when again in Venice/Mestre. Recommended.
It was a great experience - the service was outstanding, the food; delicious and the presentation; exquisite. I would definitely recommend this place for fresh fish and seafood. Moreover, they have a very special crab which is apparently only found in Venice and can be eaten whole. I would also encourage you to order the Turbot which tastes also great.
Best cuttlefish in black ink I've ever had in my life. Even beats Croatia, which is really rare. The oysters were fresh and as it is a wine bar, the selection of wine and local beer is very good. Too bad I didn't get to try any of their home made desserts.
Good and fast service. Waiters are really attentive. Excellent fresh seafood and great wine selection
