😠 Be aware that 1 shot of limoncello will cost you 8€ and one aperol spritz 12€. It’s a shame and a not funny joke. The quality is not high either. Somebody should seriously close this bar. Really arrogant waitress/chef and the prizes are not known until the last moment as you get the bill. It’s very... People often mention Rialto, location, spritz,

    Stopped here for a drink as we had been traipsing about all day. Just beside the Rialto bridge it is a great place to watch the world go by. And added bonus if you are there at sunset. Decent lager came in a frosted glass. A bit dearer than other places but worth it. Good atmosphere, staff efficient and friendly.

    Very nice place, food was very tasty ( i tried one of the sandwiches and it was really delicious) location is very good and may say that prices are little bit high.

    Too bad we can’t put 0 Just a trap, the vue is nice but go away, a spritz for 12€ ! And just for the record the menu says 8€, it’s already an expensive price. But if your not local you will pay 12€ (even in Paris it’s cheaper..) Keep your money, just a tourist trap.

    A total rip off!!! 12 euros for one spritz, the waiter gives you attitude as soon as you seat at the table (and does not speak a word in any language except his uncomprehensible dialect) Prices are not shown and of course you don’t get any receipt unless you pay with card. A trap for tourists, hopefully one day someone will teach them a lesson. STAY AWAY!!!

    The food and drink was decent, nothing spectacular but the service was good, the guy gave us a great selection and was extra friendly. Also, the location is right in the water front and excellent for photos

    It's right on the grand canal, right touching the Rialto bridge, and it will not cost you an arm and a leg to sit inside and have a cappuccino and croissant. Maybe 6 or 7€, and the WiFi is good. I found it a worthy expenditure for an hour of chill, fantastic people watching, and internet.

    We had the best time here! After walking all day, we popped in. Why? Because we saw the wonderful, huge wine glasses. So tired of the 3 oz pours at restaurants for $7. Nice pour of Cab, and the cab was nice as well! Situated next to the Rialto Bridge with no sign. Indoor outdoor seating. We enjoyed wine, pizza, and people watching. It's definitely a place I'd recommend.

    This place is totally worth it. Sat outside right by the grand canal. Had a cappuccino and a freshly squeezed orange juice all for 11 euros. Sat there for hours and enjoyed the view. Would do it again.

    Best bier in Venice and the location is spectacular. #iconic

  • 5/5 Charlotte G. 1 year ago on Google • 8 reviews
    The owners and staff are all incredibly hard working and need to put up with a lot of rude people. It is used by many of the gondolier and taxi pilots, a sign of a great place. If you sit out by the Rialto you are also paying for the location. Want to pay less, stand at the counter inside and drink your drink there. We love it here and return multiple times when we are in Venezia and have done since 2011.

    Great spot with outdoor seating right next to the Rialto Bridge, great place to have aperol spritz and watch the boats pass by. We had a few aperol spritz which were nice and in pretty large glasses, these were €12 each but for the size of the glass and the location, the price is expected and justified. We had no complaints. Great service. We will go back. If you want cheap drinks you need to go away from the tourist spots, the tourist attractions and away from the piazzas. Excellent

    Very pricey with a really good location and view of Rialto Bridge. Large portions of wine and spritz

  • 1/5 savannah s. 1 year ago on Google
    12 euro for a spritzer. Rip off Venice. 3.50/5 everywhere else. Black cloud over an otherwise wonderful visit to this beautiful city They should be ashamed of themselves. Insidious individuals. Hope karma catches up. 🥹

👍👍 The best pizza I’ve ever eaten & my family too. It’s all about the pizza base - they mastered it. 😍 Price is very reasonable. Great ambience. Long queues so worth booking for dinner. Walk-in for lunch time is possible though. Back to the pizza base, it’s so fluffy & airy. Thin & crispy in the mid...
