If you enjoy fine dining then this place is a must when you are in Corfu Town. The ambience and setting is just perfect.
The lady owner was so welcoming and friendly. Her husband is the chef who delivers some exquisite food and also the presentation is of the highest standard that you find in Michelin starred restaurants. I am still salivating over the veal tartare!!
A fantastic sommelier who will help you choose some lovely wine from the excellent choice.
I dined here last year, and this year on my recent trip to Corfu I had dinner here on 2 occasions.
I cannot rate this restaurant more highly.

The Venetian Well was recommended by friends and what a recommendation!!
We hadn't booked and were lucky to get a table, anyhow a very warm welcome and a glass of proseco to start.
We then enjoyed two amuse bouche of gaspacho soup and beetroot pearls ( not the best description but superb ) then for our starters it was goats cheese salad and burreta salad ( just like buffalo mozzarella) both lovely. For our mains it was salmon and the days special of lamb on a base of a Greek type of polenta , both dishes were delicious and were washed down with a great white wine that the sommelier recommended.
And finally a couple of palate cleansers of limoncello and kumquat.
The restaurant is in a lovely backwater setting , the staff are friendly and attentive without being overbearing so it's no surprise that the reviews are full of praise. It really is a excellent dining experience.
10/10 And no hesitation in recommending

This is a lovely restaurant in a beautiful location,but lets be honest if you want over the top frills and so called gifts from the chef before your main dish,which was a mere morsel of food dressed up with bits of mousse dashed around the plate then its the place for you.On the other hand if you're practical and ordinary its way too expensive and overated by people with no cop on.

As many have past wrote “wonderful” we came as in wife and I with a toddler 18 months and slightly nervous due to not wanting to kill the experience of others ! Well the evening birds in the sky and singing of birds kept the little man placid.. ok to the review to appreciate the child madness on a romantic setting .. stunning, immaculate service and unique to most dining evenings most will have experienced, the wonderful breakdown of wine staff, cocktail staff and honest dining staff, lovely on all levels .. timing was great and the whiskey sour was something I wish I could take back to London.. economics and not for me to disclose such a wonderful place but 2 starters, 2 mains, 2 cocktails, 1 bottle of wine and 1 dessert €135 and that does not include the appetisers (beetroot speciality wow ) nor the sneaky tiramisu that’s included .. thank you for the scenic end of a beautiful week in Corfu.. icing on the cake ...

Everybody talks about this restaurant and rightfully so. The location is very nice. The service is excellent, at time too stiff and pretentious.
The food is of high quality and professionally prepared and served. We had the soup and tartar for starters and they were amazing. All the mains we tried were top level. The deserts were delicious. The prices were acceptable and suitable for the food quality. Excellent wine offerings, local and international.
We were very happy to have chosen this place for our last evening in Corfu.
