We had the most amazing dinner at Osteria del Lovo! It was our last night in Venice and it was the perfect end to our trip. We sat outside (a must do) and enjoyed the ambiance of the evening. We had the moscato and I had the Bigoi dei Ricchi. We both agreed that is was our favorite meal of the trip just after our first bite of food! Our waiter, Islam, was attentive, engaging, and friendly. He took our pictures and joked around with us. Such a wonderful experience and atmosphere!

We had the special: sea bass with potatoes, olives and capers in a really tasty sauce. The fish was cooked to perfection and the sauce was amazing, all rounded off by great service from the Lovo team, especially Islam. We would definitely recommend the restaurant for great food, service and atmosphere.
