My wife and I were on our honeymoon and after a few days of traditional 5 course italian meals we wanted something a little bit more simple. We asked our concierge for a recommendation and he sent us to this place just off of Piazza S.Marco, it was so bad I can't even remember the name. Actually the pizza wasn't bad but the service combined with the price was a farce. 140 euro for 2 spritz, 1 house wine, 1 beer(medium), 1 small antipasti, 1 porcini mushroom pizza and a cheese plate. The service was worse than the check a complete disaster....Let me get back to what i was saying about il refolo.....the next night my wife and I were determined to find good pizza so we started bar hopping around academia and found ourselves at a bar called frai chat or something like that...After explaining our plight to the owner Francesco he mentioned that his buddy owned a pizza restaurant called il refolo....Gave us the scoop on da Fiore which we already had heard of so we figured it must have been pretty good. We had the most fantastic meal of our trip for 70 euro. Ultra fresh "rocket" salads with home cured bresaola...for those who haven't been to venice rocket is arugula....Homemade pasta with somoked wild boar and fantastic pizza with goat cheese, rocket, walnuts, and baby shrimp....I know they broke the rule about cheese with seafood but it's pizza, if its as good as this was a little rule breaking is just fine by me.

Nice location as well. I’ve been there some day ago, the service and the pizza were pretty good.

I was that noise making irish lassy!! And thank goodness i make happy noises when I eat good food - that's how we ended up talking to Shannon for over an hour after that meal, and hooking up again the following day. Our meeting taught us so much more about Venice and Venician restaurants and bars than any of our travel books (we didn't have 'Chow! Venice' with us!). Not only did we meet an amazing tour guide, but we also made a great friend, and I certainly hope on our next trip over there, we can hook up again... Kirsty xx Ha haa!!
