    Definitely worth the time to spend at the top of the gondola. Arrange for gondola departure time to give yourself ample time to enjoy this fabulous restaurant. The view alone is worth the price of the meal, which was delicious. Service was attentive without being overly intrusive. A wonderful experience.
