Seated in the fresh air by the waterside, savor Venetian seasonal delights, with special emphasis on seafood and steamed vegetables, complemented by cooling ice creams. This restaurant can be hired for hosting dinner parties, banquets, buffets, cocktail parties, weddings, conferences and business events.
