One of the best Italian food restaurants I’ve ever been to. The food was amazing, flavorful and not to mention incredibly fresh. Genuinely, almost never have gotten food so fresh to the table than tonight. The flavors of the pizza, the pasta, and the wings we had (not pictured) were amazing, especially their complementary bread and dip! Our service was fast and friendly, an incredibly welcoming atmosphere. The space is very clean and open, a nice little place. It was packed so it’s a bit harder to hear the people you’re with so you have to speak up, but that didn’t deter us, just letting others know what to expect if it gets really busy. Will absolutely becoming a regular here.

Absolutely delicious! We tried Gorgonzola Chicken, Calzone, Stromboli, and a sandwich to go— every dish was bursting with authentic Italian flavor. The whole family loved it! Friendly service, generous portions, and a place you’ll want to come back to again and again. Highly recommended

This little Italian restaurant came highly recommended by a neighbor . Upon arrival, we were seated immediately and were greeted by Alexis, who warned us servings were huge and we might expect to take leftovers home. We started off with a shared order of calamari followed by included salads. Steve ordered Seafood Campari and I their luscious eggplant Parmesan. And though neither of us could finish our meals (Alexis was right!), we shared a chocolate mint slice of cheesecake, which we did finish. The lights were a bit too bright for our taste, but the food and service were outstanding! We shall return.

Delicious! We’ve been watching for something to open here. We noticed the sign last Winter. Well it’s open and it’s wonderful. The salads are great! Olives, tomatoes, lettuce, onion, nice variety, not just sprinkled with one or 2 olives or tomatoes. Salad has a perfect amount of extras. Great dressing! Great bread. Eggplant parmigiana- excellent! Thinly sliced, layered, perfectly breaded and fried. By far the best I’ve eaten! Great menu - lots of items to pick from, fair prices, unlike a lot of Italian restaurants in Venice who charge a fortune for pasta. The server we had was a bit nervous but she did great. The place is a bit noisy but you never know how acoustics are going to be in buildings, so I’ll ignore that. It was clean, I hope it stays that way! All in all a tasty, wonderful experience. Highly recommended this place.

The Chefs Antipasto Board was outstanding & a great value, the 12" White Pie was good, but our wings (not pictured) were slightly freezer burnt...Our server was excellent & the owner came to our table to greet us...Would we go back? Yes, we would...

Ventured out to try a new place, wasn't disappointed. The food is excellent and nice size portions. Minestrone soup was the best I had, the cheesecake desert was amazing. Our waitress was Alexis and she was great, super nice and able to explain the menu to me. Highly recommend this place, it has a bright future.

Very good and NEW Italian restaurant in Venice. This is the son of the Bada Bing family, and they are doing a great job living on their wonderful food legacy! Nice job, Sal. Check out the pics if you don't believe me!

What a fantastic first visit to this relatively new restaurant. The food was fantastic, my chicken parm with side salad and side of spaghetti was worth every penny. The fresh bread and topping was likewise amazing. Really, if you want a fantastic Italian meal, with lovely and friendly staff, amazing cooks, you have to give this place a try. Special thanks to our waitress, Mav, and to Sal, the owner who took the time to say hello and chat.
