Cicchetteria da Nino Fisolo — Restaurant in Chioggia

We were attracted by the good smelling food, as we were pretty hungry and just arrived in this town, we sat down on a free table close to the canals. We ordered a bottle of white vine, which arrived pretty fast Then we had to wait for another 15 min to finally be asked to order. Suggestions or information about the food was not provided by the very young waiters. Starters were not available, only the menu of the day was allowed to order. We ordered two plates of pepata du cozze. Then we had to wait for about 45 min until some food arrived. During this time nobody cared to inform us that or why it takes more time than expected. Also ko bread was provided. After 45 min a young waiter brought two plates of spaghetti with clams. When we mentioned that we ordered the cozze, the young waiter went away just to come back after few seconds to tell us that these spaghetti with clams are the ordered cozze.

Nourished only by the white wine - still no bread was brought to our table - we waited for another 20 min until two small portions of pepata du cozze arrived. Only upon request we got some bread to eat with the mussels. Afterwards, nobody cared to ask if we wanted some dessert or coffee. Neither did anybody care to apologize for the inconvenience we experienced. All in all it was a Desaster, we can not recommend. We visited on a Friday night,...

Two stars: one for the location by the canal, really beautiful one for the waitress, who was thoughtful and friendly

Burt apart from that, we smelled a tourist trap when the manager hooked us by the terrace, and we were right. 2.5€ of cover charge for disposable plastic tableware (is this even still legal?), three cherry tomatoes and a couple rigola leaves rebranded as « mixed salad », a caponata and « folpetti » that tasted like they came right from a can.

I read it is a fun place at night but avoid...

We went there for some small cicchetti for dinner as it was recommended to us. We where disappointed not just from the Food presentation but also from the bad price performance. The food was served on paper dishes with one way cutlery. For a full restaurant price we expected more and in comparison with other ciccherterias nearby it was the visit not worth it at all. We...
