Lovely restaurant with great service and authentic homemade pasta. Try the gnocchi a la casa di salmoni, it's one of the best I have eaten!

My husband and I recently went there for dinner on our first time to Venice. It was great. It's set in a courtyard area, charming outdoor seating with good lightening. We got the house red wine, a pizza, and lasagna. The lasagna was both of our favorite! Would definitely recommend.

We found this place while just wandering the streets of Venice near our hotel. It is exceptional. Food was fabulous, service was excellent and the vibe was comfortable. We ended up there three times in our short stay and they never disappointed. Highly recommended.

Absolutely loved this place. Unbelievable pizza and great service. Our waitress Sonia was a sweet heart and a great server. Her recommendations were spectacular. We had there specialty pizzas. The dough was incredible. We also had the tiramisu and it was also so good. We sat back in the wine room. Highly recommend.

My family ate here last night and everything was delicious. Friendly service as well. We enjoyed the pizza, 4 cheese gnocchi, seafood pasta and eggplant Parmesan. I was glad we had a reservation as the restaurant was completely booked by 7:30 or so. They brought us all complimentary limoncello after dinner, including our thrilled teenagers!

W had no reservation but were seated pretty quickly nevertheless. The pizza I ordered was the Ortelano. It was ok but a bit soggy on the bottom, perhaps due to the vegetables in the topping. Service was fast and efficient. Pizzas are enough for two people or one super hungry person. Ambiance typical of a pizzeria, a bit noisy and crowded.

Had dinner here our last night in Venice and definitely ordered too much food. We ordered a couple pizzas, a squid ink pasta, lasagna, and sole fried calamari. The pizzas were excellent (and surprisingly inexpensive) and much larger than we'd expected. For the price we thought they must be small enough for a single serving, but these easily would feed two. Squid ink pasta was a hit, but I wasn't as much a fan of the lasagna. It may be a style I'm just not used to, but it was too soft and gloopy inside for my taste. The calamari was fine, but there was a lot and it was very one-note - it wasn't so good that it has a more-ish quality, but once you had a few pieces you basically got everything the dish had to offer. It was a very relaxed atmosphere inside and the wait staff were very patient with us and we had no issue with only speaking English. On the whole we enjoyed the food, we'd probably just get some pizzas to share if we went back as that was the best thing we tried!

Ate here for our last night in Venice and LOVED it. Simple warm interior, casual and welcoming. My lasagna was great, as was my husband's spaghetti ragu, but we all agreed that my son's 4-cheese gnocchi was the hands down winner. Absolutely melt in your mouth, perfect flavor balance and texture. That may have been my favorite gnocchi ever. Wine was also affordable by the glass and service was friendly. Convenient lovely place.
