Expect a lively room with great atmosphere - classy but fun - and incredible service. The food was excellent, only a sad looking and meager portioned Caesar salad kept me from rating 5 stars. Venice is pricey but a good value for well prepared pastas and apps made with fresh ingredients. Service is refreshingly professional and really added to our family holiday get together. Our server Ollie was a prince who's attentiveness along with the great food made for a special evening.

We thought it strange that so many cream sauce dishes were gorgonzola cream sauces. The gnocchi and ravioli with sausage were good. Spinach salad was good. Wine ordering was strange-same with bread. $2 per person?
