Il Refettorio

Lovely restaurant. What stood out was the fact that they taken us in without a reservation. We were rudely told off by a restaurant nearby and this was a complete 180. Service was professional and not overbearing and does not do the "hows everything" speech which i really appreciate. Food, best octopus we've had better than what we had in Spain. Beef tartar was fresh, different than the French but I like the larger chunks so you can taste the meat better. Steak was the one that didn't do it for me. Filet asked for rare, because the piece was split into two, it was slightly overcooked. Cut could be a bit better. Really good tiramisu. New spin compare to the traditional. If you don't like the sogginess of the traditional ladyfingers, this would do well. Great wine suggestion as well. Good price point for what was served. Not a tourist a trap which is always a plus.

Honestly, it was the best restaurant we did in Venise. Food was amazing, quality too. The service was excellent, everyone was friendly and gave us good advice. I strongly recommend

We hadn't reserved a place on a busy Saturday evening. However the created space and we had time to eat till a certain time. The food and wine was great and the service was okay. It would probably be better if we weren't in the clock.
