This place has a fun vibe and plays great music - classic California hip hop. I can't explain why it goes so well with the Italian wine bar thing they're doing, but they pull it off perfectly. Decorations are irreverent yet staff are accommodating. They have free wifi, outdoor seating alongside the small canal, and a free shot if you like them on Facebook or follow them on Instagram. Overall, it just works. I'd go out of my way to come here again anytime I'm in Venice.
This places makes not eating meat easy, fun, and inventive yet still Italian. I loved their bruschette in delicious combos like asparagus-mozzarella-black truffle, pesto-tomato-balsamic, and pumpkin-brie-spicy "salsa." They also have many meat and seafood options - classic prosciutto and salami included.
A aperol spritz is their only cocktail but they do it right. The bulk of the drink choices are wines by the glass. If you're not a wine expert, don't feel intimidated. On my first visit, I randomly chose the Lugano white and was happily surprised. The staff is also willing to make recommendations. Everything on the drink menu is Italian except some of their beers and everything we tried was good. Prices are all around affordable - the bruschette can add up if you're trying to make a meal out of them, but drinks are cheap and good. Nothing in the place was over €5. Don't miss it!
