This is the more upscale, restaurant version of GTA. Everything here is delicious. We’ve eaten here a lot and have never been disappointed. Best to book in advance as demand is high.

Our recommendations: the breakfast toasts are delicious (esp the salmon and avocado toasts), the coffee is the best in town

This is a new addition to Venice and serves great food and cocktails. The menu is small and changes regularly and the bar has a great atmosphere.
