"This is quite simply the kind of place we all dream about finding on holiday. I live locally, so often recommend it to tourists and visitors alike. We eat here all the time. It is impossible to exaggerate just how good the food is, how reasonable the rates, how large the portions and just how friendly and helpful the staff are, in this magical home-from-home with such high standards and low, low prices. I often feel sorry for customers at the large number of touristy eating spots in this highly popular tourist destination. I know they will be usually happy with their food and service etc, but as a local, I know that what they are paying so much for, is way, way below the standards we enjoy when we go to the Tavernetta for lunch, dinner or even order take-outs to enjoy at home. Two families share the running of this eatery. The two main chefs trained and worked at the most exclusive hotels and restaurants in Venice for years, before coming home to give us the benefit of their excellence and dedication to the best standards, at reasonable costs and super service and the rest. Be smart, eat here as often as you can, whenever you can and just be glad you checked first on Tripadvisor !"
