L'Ombra del Leone Cafe In Venezia

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.

Beautiful place on the banks of the Grand Canal

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.

Lovely place, delicious food, friendly and very professional staff. Highly recommended.

Gentile team di Ombra del Leone, Il ristorante ha partecipato ai festeggiamenti del nostro matrimonio a Venezia il 25 giugno 2025. Siamo rimasti incantati dagli stuzzichini e dal Prosecco. Il team è stato molto attento e cordiale, ci siamo sentiti a nostro agio. Vorremmo ringraziarvi ancora per questo. I migliori auguri dagli sposi e dagli ospiti

Una perla rara nella disneyland veneziana. Ottimo pesce servito in una posizione unica : di fronte alla punta della dogana con vista su San Giorgio! Servizio attento e gentile
