Could not recommend enough. The food was unreal, I would strongly suggest the seafood platter, or the risotto. A table right on the canal surrounded by Murano glass, and drinking from it. Couldn't be better. Service was perfect. As a hospitality manager in the UK I was very impressed, particularly how they dealt with a rude countrymen of mine who didn't realise closed means closed. They were very courteous and polite despite the described people being a pain. Would recommend to anyone coming to Murano.

I highly recommend this restaurant for amazing food and view onto the canal. We had the shared platter for starters which was varied and super tasty, one of the best starters we had in the Venice area. We had a main each both were delicious, especially the crab pasta with lime air (bubbles). To digest a bit we also had a variety of sorbet scoops and all the flavors were mixes of different fruits and herbs. The service was super good and everyone really friendly. I highly recommend this restaurant if you’re visiting Murano, especially because it’s right in front of the glass museum! So convenient!

The food, the service, the atmosphere and the staff were absolutely amazing. This place was just beside our hotel and based on the cute little terrace we did not realize that this would be find dining. Everything we ordered (sampler starter platter, grilled seafood platter & crispy calamari & shrimps) was absolutely amazing. The look on our son's face when he had his first bite of the calamari is priceless. Oh and tiramisu & cheesecake desserts were also delicious! Don't miss the drawing of R. Ottley, the artist for Amazing Spider-Man and HULK for Marvel comics. He did one of a superhero saying "Risotto Rules" when he ate in this very restaurant. How cool is that? What a great way to end our trip to Murano.

This a great local restaurant serving local specialties. If you're staying at the Hyatt Centric or another hotel nearby, don't miss this. The food is creative and fabulous. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and just the right amount of attentive. We had a raw seafood platter to start followed by wonderful mushroom and scallop risotto. Slow roasted beef and stuffed sea bass for entrees. The wine they recommended was world class delicious. This was a reasonably priced, world class dining experience.

Not so hidden, but a pure gem! Arrive with ACTV 4.2 at Navagergo, leave the tourists 2 stops before…join this Trattoria, drink 2-5 Bellini to start the day…you won’t forget!

Awesome place, we enjoyed the whole thing (the atmosphere, the food, the friendly staff). The food was just perfect!! We ordered grilled octopus as an appetizer, then lobster spaghetti, and seafood spaghetti. They tasted amazing!! The homemade tiramisu was also very delicious. Definitely we will be back.
