The food ...that's the singular reason I will give it 4 stars and ignore all the other -ves like a snooty hostess who needs to be taught this alien concept called a 'smile' and an extremely delayed service. The person who waited on us at least was a cheerful person, even if the food did get delayed considerably. Almost a 30 minute wait.

The food though was spectacular, it was the best brunch we had in Venice in the last couple of days we have been here. The Eggs with chorizo was great and my wife cleaned up her fried egg and sofritto and my friends loved their eggs with abalone mushrooms and pancakes. The coffee was ok. The pizzas, the spicy chorizo was simply mouth watering and the cheese pizza was also reasonably good, maybe a tad bit salty.
