    This restaurant is located right at the foot of the Rialto Bridge. Such a beautiful place to dine. Service was wonderful and the food is absolutely delicious. Highly recommend this especially later in the day right before dusk when you can watch the gondolas go by and enjoy the evening lights appear.

    Marissimo was our server, from the beginning he was welcoming and full of smiles. Helped us with the menu and even took photos of me and my wife for our anniversary. Great spot to grab a bite.

    Hands down the best restaurant experience we had in Venice! The location is absolutely perfect, and the service was outstanding — attentive, friendly, and professional. We sat on the terrace, and the view was breathtaking. We ordered the seafood platter, and it was phenomenal — incredibly fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. A must-visit spot in Venice!

    The food and the outdoor seating were great but the service from Mossimo and team were the best and worth every dolllar. We enjoyed our entire experience thoroughly!

    Booked this restaurant on OpenTable and was there on time. However, they had given away all the outside tables including the one we booked to walk ins.

    The cafe is a tourist trap, and was set to charge as much as possible for the experience. Tried to force their valentines set menu on us, and then insinuated that if we didn’t spend the set menu per person we would have to give up our riverside table. Would not eat there again, many nicer places that are less of a trap and where the food is of a higher standard.
