"There's hardly room to swing a catfish in this brand-new, five-table gourmet locale behind the Doge's Palace."

"Longtime restaurateur Gianni Bonaccorsi... has established an eatery where he can pamper a limited number of lucky patrons with his imaginative cuisine and impeccable taste in wine."

"From an open kitchen the size of a closet comes a parade of tasty small plates: a dollop of savoury Tuscan bread pudding, Venetian crudi composed into a glistening mosaic."

"There are only nine tables at this "excellent" Italian seafooder in Castello, so it's "kind of like being in the chef's house", especially when "he comes over to advise" guests on what to order."

"Paesanos with a hankering for "old, historic recipes" "cooked skillfully" frequent this Venetian "close to San Marco" where they can also sample vino from a large list."

"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."
Let's Go
"To treat yourself to some of Venice’s best fine dining, come to Bistrot de Venise, where you’ll be waited on hand and foot as you feast on dishes like homemade tagliolini with lagoon scallops."

"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"
