Trattoria found by chance...a lucky chance!!! Yes, because we found a small and welcoming environment that allowed us to have an excellent dinner in peace in a family atmosphere and without spending a fortune! The famous Vicenza-style cod lived up to expectations But the veal stew didn't disappoint either!!!

Small, old-fashioned, family-run trattoria. Few seats but respecting the right distances between tables.Traditional Venetian menu of artisanal workmanship. Distinctive touch given by the friendliness and friendliness of the lady who took the orders (I think the owner). They make you feel welcomed and valued customers. Congratulations, this is how we do it and we stand out. Excellent quality/price ratio.

I have been there yesterday and it is a great spot! I had the antipasti Della casa which was a large selection of local delicacies, and after that some delicious pasta. All seemed to be home made and traditional, exactly what I wanted for that night, service was also nice and it did feel very original, not “touristy”, can recommend and will come back. Oh and the prices are also affordable!!

Had the pasta polpetti and was to die for. They only speak Italian so get ready to pull up google translate before ordering. Very polite staff and tranquil atmosphere.
