About SRV

Brick walls, a long brass-lit bar and a mezzanine rail looking down on the dining floor give the room a busy, warehouse feel, and a rear patio takes the overflow in warmer months. Small plates in the Venetian bar tradition, cicchetti such as baccalà and polpette, open most meals before house-made pastas, ricotta gnudi and squid ink risotto, then duck breast or monkfish. Many tables go for the tasting menu, which regulars say is the way to see both the printed dishes and off-menu chef favourites, and it handles allergies with care. The tiramisu has its own following. Servers get singled out by name for turning birthdays and awkward dates into good nights, and the team also hosts private events. Doors open at 5 p.m. on weekdays and 4:30 on weekends, closing at 9 early in the week and 10 from Thursday to Saturday. It rates 4.6 across 1,358 Google reviews.
