Santa Croce Restaurants

I had lunch with a friend at Terrazza Danieli during our day trip to Venice, and it was lovely! We requested a table at the end of the terrace and the view from both seats was just beautiful. The service was excellent and very attentive!

It;s all about the view and the people! Food was well prepared but expensive.

Serafina is a beautiful restaurant and its staff and service are very accomodating. We enjoyed a glass of white wine. The bread on the table was a day old and olive oil had to be asked for. We started the dinner with a pasta dish of spaghetti with clams . The dish was overly salty . Had this been our only dish the rating would be different but next we had the Mediterranean Sea bass which was perfectly prepared with an amazing presentation. The roasted potatoes that arrived with the dish were properly prepared - hot and crispy. With pasta as a first course a vegetable with the fish would have been preferable but had we read this review we would have skipped the pasta. You need an 1.5 hours to dine here as things take time at Serafina. If you go, order the fresh fish and perhaps an appetizer. Had that been the case it would be close to 5 stars.

Our flight was delayed, so we were half an hour late. The gentlemen seated us outside immediately, and the bustling street was a nice distraction after our journey to Venice. The grilled octopus was tender and served with fresh basil and grape tomatoes. My son greatly enjoyed his pasta and ate every morsel. Rain started toward the end of our dinner, but we were able to seek refuge under the umbrellas outside. With that said, we were offered to move indoors. This was a highlight and strong beginning to our Venetian adventure.

Incredible gourmet experience. Their creative cousine takes you across South America and back with a local flavour that is quite a magical blend! Bravi! Michelin star on ita way, guarantee..😉
