TheForkUserThe girls serving spoke excellent English and helped greatly with recommendations.Food was delicious and the steak I had was cooked to perfection.
_TI***nvThe outdoor setting of this restaurant is lovely, providing a perfect spot to enjoy a meal. The prices are reasonable for the quality of food, and the house wine is excellent.
TheForkUserI’ve visited the restaurant with my wife. Very good place for fish and sea food. The moderate prices for the high quality sea food and wine. There is no white wine for more than 35 Euros/bottle. The place at the foto looks worse than it appears on reality. The toilet was very clean and renewed. There are many young waitresses and in my case she was a bit shy and forgot to offer us the wine. But we remembered her and the wine was good - Soave.
TheForkUserThe food was exquisite and rich, we got to enjoy plenty of additional chef’s treats apart from our ordered dishes. Actually everything we received was awesome. A great experience.
TheForkUserWe dined outside due to no air conditioning inside the restaurant. It was comfortable under the umbrellas. The pizzas were extremely good, but the tiramisu was a little disappointing. I would however return.
TheForkUserWe had an amazing Christmas lunch here. Two of us tried the special menu - all of it outstanding, and the wine was included. The third member of our party tried a number of the a la carte vegetarian options - also delicious. The decor and setting is truly exceptional, overlooking the grand canal. Highly recommended.
TheForkUserMy forth trip to Venice and 2nd dinner at Madonna and once again it was superb. The service was excellent, our waiter suggested a new wine which we loved and our group enjoyed a wide selection of fish and seafood all prepared to perfection. Definitely our best meal over four days in Venice and we will always go back and refer it to friends.
_TI***bfWe found this gem in Venice and were thrilled with the quality of the food and the reasonable prices. The lasagna and mussels were particularly noteworthy!
TheForkUserThe pizzas were really good and filling. As well, the staff were helpful and a good ambience. Overall, 10/10.
TheForkUserEccellente in tutto. Allineato all’hotel che lo include, hotel Excelsior.
TheForkUserWe originally came across the restaurant during the lunch hour and had such a wonderful experience we came back the last day for dinner.Very small restaurant, the food was excellent, the wine and the service was excellent!
TheForkUserThe restaurant has a beautiful view of the canal that makes dining there so relaxing. Enjoying tasty food while watching the water is a perfect way to spend an evening.
TheForkUserPleasant atmosphere inside and very personable staff ready to assist throughout the evening. Food and service top shelf with an eclectic menu offering local cuisine options. Nothing but excellence here!
TheForkUserThe food was absolutely delicious – each dish was crafted with authentic flavors and presented beautifully. The service was fast and incredibly friendly, making us feel welcomed and well-cared for throughout the meal. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for enjoying a great meal. I highly recommend this place for anyone craving genuine Italian cuisine with top-notch service. Can’t wait to return!
TheForkUserWe were following the recommendation of a famous Berlin costume designer, who stays at the hotel when in Venice. The restaurant is unique, a kind of Orangerie from 1900 with 1950s art on the walls. We felt far removed from the tourist industry and well ensconced in the favorite haunt of insiders.
TheForkUserThe menu had few chooses, description was scarse and confusing, which made me return my dish: although I confirmed with the waiter to have my sea bass grilled, I received a sea bass in a salt jacket... I was told that the fish thus "dressed up" was prepared on a grill... I was brought few minutes later another one, if not the same one, slightly grilled. My husband and my daughter had to generously add salt and pepper to their dishes - venetian liver and tagliatelle with porcini - in an attempt to improve taste. The experience was disappointing, although the staff was very friendly and considerate.
TheForkUserA great find in Arquette Petrarca. Food and service was excellent. Two rooms for dining we chose the small one which was so nice larger one had big group so a little noisy. Definitely a must try if you are in the area.
TheForkUserDon’t be put off by the front of this restaurant as inside is clean and very pleasant. Staff lovely and food great. Would definitely eat here again
TheForkUserWe were struggling to find a good restaurant on a Sunday evening when we found Tola Rasa - and hit the jackpot! Original, inventive twists on the regional cuisine, beautifully and artistically served. We felt the full tasting menu was too much so we were allowed to choose three courses and dessert - much appreciated. And to top it all off, the wine list was full of excellent reasonably priced choices.
