We found this lovely small restaurant because we were lost looking for our airb&b, Amadeo the owner came out to help us work out our accommodation. It was raining in Venice and he even tried to phone for us to the accommodation guys. We were so grateful we decided to dine with him, our dishes were superb, nicely cooked and delicious. The lemon and strawberry cake and the house wine were a lovely addition to the meal! Friendly people and delicious local food, perfect first dinner in Venice!
