Calle 21 - Venice

What makes a difference in the year? last year was this facility so good that we visited them twice during a four-day stay in venezia. today's meal was one of the tourist traps. once the server (owners? found that we were disappointed by what they were offered, the mood swinging to a cure, but usually friendly, one. the meals were understandard, and when my wife visited the toilet room, she discovered a sound from the kitchen that she quickly recognized the piep of a microwave oven. the prices were high for the offered quality. 83 euro for a baked chicken carving, venetian leber, half a liter red house wine, a medium beer and two bottled water. the drinks were the highlight of the meal. the only real selling point was the location: next to a side channel.

Love this sweet little restaurant right above one of the bridges of Venice and outside seating next to the water. We had a free prosecco to start and share a Marqherita pizza for a starter and then had 2 large fish dishes and a bottle of Valpolicella. It was so nice.

The setting canal side, the ambiance, the service, the food all earn 5 stars. Plus more stars for the salad Caprese!! We have eaten salad Caprese at 4 different restaurants here in Venice and this was the best!! The delicate slicing of both the tomatoes and mozzarella may account for the outstanding flavor whatever this is the best we have eaten.

It is not very often that we eat at a restaurant two nights in a row. The second evening was even better. The Carbonara was authentic and excellent. The filet steak with pepper sauce was as good as it gets. The service was really good. Go for happy hour and stay for dinner. Best dinners we had for 4 weeks in Europe. Right on a canal, perfect for people watching. Earlier the first day when we arrived, the waiter helped me by letting me use the internet so we could contact our property. Thank you.

The gentleman at the door won us over with his friendliness and assurance of gluten free prep for celiac. The service was great, good pricing and portions. I highly recommend this venue for a great sit down meal. EXCELLENT!!!
