Fodor's Review:

The simple place settings, lattice-wood walls, canal window, and mélange of languages make this place feel as much like a typical vegetarian restaurant as you could expect to find in Venice. Though the menu does have superb meat dishes such as the piccata di pollo ai caperi e limone con riso (sliced chicken with capers and lemon served with rice), more attention is paid to dishes from the garden: try the radicchio di Treviso con funghi e scaglie di Montasio (with mushrooms and shavings of Montasio cheese) or the finocchi piccanti con olive (fennel in a spicy tomato-olive sauce).

Lovely place for lunch, especially if you can sit outside near the small canal and people watch. The dishes are very innovative and their pumpkin flan is to die for.
