👍👍 At first I was sceptical about visiting a bar on Piazza San Marco. But luckily we tried it anyway. We had a very nice afternoon with really good cocktails and delicious cichetti. The bartkeepers are very friendly. Grazie mille People often mention great, Venice, good, drinks, nice, friendly, square, cocktails, drink, spot,

    Fantastic place, somehow different from all the touristy spots nearby. Stopped once in the evening for a glass of wine and once in the morning for a cappuccino. Simone is super charismatic. If you want a peaceful uninterrupted experience of enjoying a drink in beautiful surroundings, choose this spot.

    Great place for drinks & cocktails. Its tiny bar with few places to sit. Barmans are skilled and friendly. During the day you can grab here something to bite as well.

    I came here for some after-dinner drinks. The drinks were great and the vibe is really nice. Not too far from the main Piazza San Marco too! Had a really nice time here!

    Best bar in Venice, the location is great and the prices are very good, plenty of cicchetti and good drinks and of course the atmosphere and the staff is the best.

    Best bar in Venice. Just great cocktails. Considering its on St mark's Square prices are ok. A kicking Moscow mule is 10 euros. Go there, get a drink, watch the world go by.

    A real gem in the heart of Venice. The food they served was delicious. the chef knows what they are doing. The service can vary a bit widely depending on the waiter you get: from decent to exceptional. Food was so good and the view overlooking St Mark's square is amazing! Price was decent and had many vegetarian options! Loved the place overall!

    As an American and an Australian abroad, we always take the first few days away to explore/suss out the best spots in the area. Day 2 in Venice, we happened upon Ai Do Leoni, and it’s safe to say…it’ll be “our spot”. A few steps off Saint Mark’s Square, this place has great drinks, cicchetti, and more importantly-staff. Rubin was kind, attentive, and knowledgeable-I had ordered an Aperol Spritz, to which he suggested the Venetian Select…and it was wonderful!! I don’t always like to divulge information on spots we’ve found-but I want to give a public shout out to Rubin and crew-we’re here for 3 weeks, and we’ll be back (again…and again! :))

    We stopped here just before our afternoon tour for a quick drink and bite to eat. The food was very good and not expensive. We enjoyed an aperol spritz, pizza, and other snacks. Great spot right near the square.

    Service was fantastic - we stumbled upon this place when we were looking for something to eat and drink after touring St Marks. The little bites were incredibly flavorful and the drinks were well made. We even tried an exotic looking peach with filling and it was absolutely incredible tasting. I highly reccomend this place.

    Had a couple of lovely bellini’s and tiramisu. Both very good. The service was great.

    Beautiful place! Don't be afraid to visit because it is on St Marks Square! The spritz are €6 and the cicchetti is low priced, fresh and very tasty. The ambience is wonderful, it's a fantastic place to de-stress after battling the wall of people on St. Marks. The staff are lovely and polite, don't be afraid to ask for recommendations. Very cosy, very comfortable and very Venice, a must visit.

    Super cute bar. The bartender there made our day with his generous hospitality. He made the perfect margarita for me with a hint of spice. Loved it. He was also super nice to a family with three kids. He made sure that those kids felt special there too. It felt like a small family bar. Super kind and sweet. I’d for sure go back in the next few days during my stay. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Esther C. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious, affordable & kind staff. It is in a very touristy spot so a bit busy but the food is worth it. I got the mushroom, fish & cheese with plum jam.

  • 5/5 Marcelo X. 2 years ago on Google
    Great service, delicious food and Aperol and fair price! Totally recommended

  • 5/5 Andrew F. 1 year ago on Google
    It's just off the square, the food and drink are amazing and it's got a great view at a reasonable price. The guys running it are great too

  • 5/5 Ben 3 years ago on Google
    Best cocktail bar in Venice, hands down. Simone is a great host. Warm, friendly service, and always welcoming. The benchmark of great hospitality. Not to mention the drinks were absolutely tasty and delicious! We had the most wonderful time here for our last night in Venice. A must do!

  • 5/5 Ofek S. 2 years ago on Google
    Great coffee and sandwiches located very close to the main square

  • 5/5 Steven J. 3 years ago on Google
    Had some great times here and right on the edge of the square. Gianluigi (Gigi) makes the best long islands ever. Highly recommended you have to stop for a aprol spritz or 2

  • 5/5 Marnie M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great selection of craft beers (pale ale, sours, tropical) and yum tapas

  • 5/5 Matt P. 1 year ago on Google
    I cannot recommend this bar/restaurant enough! An absolute must go to! The best cocktails you will find in Venice. Claudio is a true “bar chef” and I would put him up against the best mixologists from any city in the world I’ve been to. He can make any classic as well as fun and creative innovations! Don’t sleep on the delicious cicchetti they offer as well! The staff are super friendly and it’s a great local spot that stands out amidst all the tourist traps around St. Marks square. A highlight of our stay in Venice!

  • 5/5 Ultimate T. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place to get an awesome cappuccino and a quick bite. Traditional place for authentic gastronomy next to Piazza San Marco. Nice!

  • 5/5 Avery “AveryCloseCall” A. 4 years ago on Google
    Really tasty little sandwiches for €2.50, Aperol Spritz for €3.50, good music, amazing location, friendly staff. Can't go wrong. They even gave me a free little sammich halfway through my drink just to be nice. Definitely a good spot.

    A very cosy place with yummy cocktails! The margarita is unlike what I’ve had before. Foamy salt and orange instead of lime - quite a treat.

  • 5/5 David P. 4 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    Remarkably relaxed place, lovely atmosphere, great cocktails, varied crowd (locals and tourists of all ages) - and fairly priced for the location. Strong recommend.
