We both ordered the veal. At 24 euros, we were expecting something of decent quality. The meal we received could just as easily have been thawed junk food. It was dry, grey, and of absolutely unsatisfactory quality. After asking the manager, if this could really be right, he became very arrogant, saying things like: "This is the way animals look,...

I missed my vaparetto to Guidecca and had an hour to wait, so stumbled into this restaurant nearby while I waited. I expected a restaurant on the Grand Canal to serve terrible tourist food, and was very pleasantly surprised at the quality of the seafood and desert that I had. I would eat here again and will make a point... More

We wanted to eat close to the San Lazzaro water bus stop. We were headed there to tour the monastery. With only an hour for lunch we first sat at the restaurant next door to Wildner’s. But when we discovered that they served FROZEN pasta, we headed to Wildner’s. Only top quality here. The food was outstanding: an organic spinach... More

Luca and his staff offer a wonderful menu and excellent service at a reasonable cost. The location on the lagoon is perfect.

The restaurant is part of a Pensione and situated on the Grand Canal near the Londra Palace. The restaurant appears to be the main business and consists of an extension onto the promenade with glass walls which are open or closed according to the temperature. We did quite a lot of searching for eating places in the neighbourhood and this... More

DECOR: full house on the waterfront, locals dressed neatly and conservatively. Facing San Giorgio maggiore. FOOD: Great seafood. Good wine. FACILITIES: Facing San Giorgio Maggiore, Wildner is well run and did not operate the silly 'have you made a reservation' questions. Although, we were there for midday, the restaurant was full by one o' clock. Sunshine beamed in on a... More

Right off San Marco Plaza, great food, excellent service. Menu is a little different than the other tourist places close by. We went twice!

It was a lovely peaceful place, breezes coming through to keep us cool, wonderful fresh fish, great pizza; we ate there 2 times. Very tasteful spot, not so touristy.
