11/09/2023: Sestante is a truly excellent restaurant and a great find. It is on our list for a definite return visit next time we are in Venice (next year). It has an excellent location, just a few yards along the Calle San Zaccaria that runs at right angles to the Riva Degli Schiavoni and three minutes east from St Marks Square. It is easy to find and you won't be wandering around the back streets, Google maps in hand trying to locate it. It isn't a large restaurant with perhaps about twenty covers and a neat bar area. The decor is chic and modern; the tables are set well apart and the seating is comfortable. The toilets are clean and modern and the place generally has the air of being run by people who care. We went for dinner without having looked at reviews. The food was outstanding and original. Who knew that smoked aubergine marinaded in beetroot could be a thing? We took advice from the sommelier as to choice of wine and that proved to be a wise decision : it was a perfect pairing with our meal. A small number of wines is available by the glass. The wine list is quite extensive with prices to match. That said there is a good selection of wine at around 30 - 40 Euros per bottle. The menu has an undoubted seafood bias but you can checkout what is on offer by visiting the menu on their website. It is all as delicious as it is beautifully presented. This is fine dining at fair and reasonable price. Reservation is advised. The staff were attentive, knowledgeable about both the food ingredients/preparation and the wine, efficient and delightful to chat with (they both spoke excellent English). It isn't often one finds great food, great staff and great premises all in the same deal! Such was our unmitigated enjoyment of the dining experience that we booked lunch for two days later. The lunch experience was equally enjoyable. What stood out on both visits was the feeling that the staff wanted to ensure that you get maximum satisfaction and enjoyment from your dining experience.
