"This welcoming restaurant serves traditional Venetian cuisine as well as special dishes based on historic recipes."
Rough Guide
"This place is done up as a facsimile of a wood-panelled French bistrot, but the menu is based on old-style Venetian recipes, both for full meals and cicheti."

"Though it looks a bit like a wood-paneled French bistro, the menu here is primarily old-school Venetian, specializing in rare wines and historical recipes from the 14th to 18th centuries"
