"L’Ombra del Leone presents itself as a restaurant but, quite frankly, you can eat better for less elsewhere. When this well-hidden offshoot of the Biennale arts organization comes into its own is outside of meal times, when it functions as a café-bar with a view—a truly magnificent one, across the Grand Canal toward the basilica of La Salute. The coffee is standard, the wine is quaffable, and the spritz isn't bad. The view, however, surpasses all." - Anne Hanley
