Always a pure pleasure to dine at Harry’s. Service is first class from the moment you arrive until you depart food flavors consistently great. Will not disappoint even for lunch.

Food and service were exceptional. The selection of wines was outstanding. And the view was amazing. A must when you are in Venice.

Fabulous ambiance and incredibly helpful waiters. Loved it! Made our trip !

Inccredible Service and great food! Highly recommend and we will be going back.

Finding real food in Venice often feels like navigating a minefield of tragic tourist traps and frozen pizza joints. Ombra del Leone, however, is a glorious exception—a sanctuary of genuine, uncompromising Venetian cuisine positioned right on the Grand Canal. Do not come here looking for a quick tourist menu. The kitchen operates with flawless, traditional mastery. Their baccalà mantecato served over grilled polenta is a silky, triumphant revelation, and the fegato alla veneziana is executed with a level of historical accuracy that would make a Doge weep with joy. Two critical caveats for the urban traveler: first, do not drop by unannounced. This place is rightfully popular, so securing a reservation in advance is practically mandatory. Second, check your urban urgency at the door. The service moves at a pace that makes a snail look like a sprinter. If you are rushing to catch a vaporettò, you will suffer; if you sit back with a drink (and absorb the view, it is pure heaven. Five well-deserved stars.
