All the reviews are absolutely right. There's no comparison. This place may be hard to find, but once you arrive it's heaven. You must have reservations. It's very small, but oh so wonderful. Husband and wife are the only people running this place. Charm, great food and not a tourist trap.

Hidden in a tiny Venetian alley, this intimate, private terrace garden restaurant enhances a visit to Venice. We treated ourselves to dinner here (it's not cheap), having found the place by chance as its garden door does nottill just before 7 p.m. in the evening. We were impressed with the friendly but perfect service, the superb food (bream...

This restaurant was around the corner from my hotel. Although I had read the reviews on Tripadvisor I still wasn't prepared for the lovely experience I had eating there my last night in Venice. Traveling alone is always interesting, especially when deciding where to have dinner. Larisa couldn't have been lovelier even as she was serving the entire restaurant. I...

Difficult to find but perserverance with...

What they make is authentic and excellent gnocci, giltheed and pepper steak were amazing. Probably one of the best steaks...

The food, atmosphere and hospitality were all exceptional --- so much so that we cancelled another reservation so we could visit Antico Giardinetto a second time before we left Venice. The raw fish starter was exceptional as was the fried seafood platter for two. These...

Just perfect. Don't believe to negative reviews. This place is good, really good. We found this place too late so we had a chance to visit it twice only. Of you're looking for a good fresh food, responceable management and good solid plates this is the place. Spoiled by places like Nobu, Chipriani and Hakkasan we were really disappointed by...

I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough, beautiful secluded courtyard with wonderful service and excellent value for money in such an expensive city. The food is superb, we each had a pasta dish to start, the scallop tagliatelle and the cuttlefish ink tagliatelle, we have eaten pasta numerous times in italy and this was the best. We then shared the...
