Fodor's Review:

Two lovely dining rooms and a canal-side terrace with an exquisite view, combined with truly inspired cuisine, make a visit to Riviera one to remember. Chef Monica Scarpa brings her creative touch to both traditional and contemporary dishes. Fish lovers will enjoy the tuna tartare, seafood risotto,or a mixed fish platter, while carnivores can dig into prosciutto with figs and pecorino cheese followed by a plate of succulent lamb chops with blueberry sauce. Host Luca excels at selecting the perfect wine for any combination of foods. Desserts include a plate of homemade cookies served with vin santo (sweet wine). A simple but appealing children's menu is offered.
