    We visited Coté France for the first time as our first dining out experience after being in France for three weeks. We did not leave disappointed! This is a cozy little spot right in the heart of Venice. The food was very good. Service, including timing between starters, entrées and desserts was excellent. We will certainly be back!

    My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our dinner! He had the French onion soup and risotto with scallops and asparagus, and I had the specials of pea soup with bacon, and the lamb shoulder. All was delicious!
