L'Ombra del Leone Cafe In Venezia

[Just steps from St. Mark's Square! A truly elegant seaside experience!] A hidden Italian restaurant in Venice, the city of water! With Santa Maria della Salute as a backdrop, it was a picture-perfect dining experience on the terrace. ✨ ▪︎What I ordered ・Caprese €18 ・Tomato Paccheri €20 Total €63 (including service charge) 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱 This time, two dishes came to a mere 11,000 yen lol. As expected, Venice is one of the world's most popular tourist destinations... The yen is just too weak. 😢 As for the taste, the caprese was absolutely delicious with its vibrant cherry tomatoes and fresh mozzarella, and the pasta was also elegant with its fragrant tomatoes and sauce. . It was a wonderful restaurant that brightened up our trip to Venice 🍽️🇮🇹

There's no better location. Right on the Grande Canal, you can sit by the water in the sun. Excellent value for money, very good food. Reservations are a must.

Beautiful place on the banks of the Grand Canal

Hidden Terrace. I saw in another review. Great description. Was very fortunate to hang out here for the Regatta Storica. Great seat to sit and watch the parade and the races as they fly by but also just as great to sit on the grand canal and enjoy the gondolieri who loiter nearby as they pass time in between fares. Prices are fare or even at a value relative to many locations on the main thoroughfare. Service is nice if you’re not expecting the world. Perhaps they are on island time. Which is great. IMHO.

Very pleasant spot for a coffee break. Very welcoming, smiling and courteous staff. The place is quiet with a beautiful view. I recommend 👍🏻

Excellent experience and recommended.

Very nice view, tasty food (tried caccio and pepe, pasta is very good, however it’s not a classic caccio and pepe), friendly personnel. Definitely a high score restaurant.

A prime location, excellent for a beautiful sunset. The sun doesn't shine directly on you, giving you an unbeatable view... The food wasn't just good, it was delicious! Flavio treated us like royalty. He was the best waiter we've ever met in all of Italy. He recommended nothing but excellent dishes... octopus has no mother or grandmother! Highly recommended!

Beautiful hidden terrace for a nice outdoor lunch overlooking the Canal Grande. I particularly liked the pece spada on patato cream. With table cloths and textile napkins. Around 50€ per person for a nice lunch.
