Ristorante Antico Toro — Restaurant in Chioggia

The place is really prominently placed at the main street of Chioggia and was actually recommended to us by our B&B. But I was really disappointed. You get your O rings in a plastic bag on the table. The overall appearance is more that of a cheap cantina. They have a menu in Italian, English, German and Spanish which should already show that it is a tourist trap. A lot of the food is just unfrozen which is honestly stated in the menu. So I asked for the fresh grilled fish. But first we got really l risotto with scampi and zucchini. The risotto was alright but the scampi were also unfrozen. Then arrived the fish which was completely overcooked and dry - the poor fish had to die a second time on the grill. Overall a very disappointing experience. And as a bonus there was dirt in my wine glass.

I can really not recommend the place. Go to El Gato or any other...

Trotz des Hinweises, dass sie pro Person 2,50 € für das Tisch Gedeck berechneten, ließen wir uns darauf ein und setzten uns an einen Tisch mit einer guten Aussicht. Als wir die Karten bekamen, waren wir doch erst einmal ziemlich überrascht von den Preisen, aber ließen uns auch hier an nichts stören und bestellten zuerst einmal etwas zutrinken. Für 0,33l Cola bezahlten wir 4,50 € und für ein Bier 0,5l bezahlten wir 6 €. Die Getränke ließen nicht lange auf sich warten und wurden von einer netten Mitarbeiterin serviert. Als es dann zu den Speisen ging, bestellten wir 2 Wiener Schnitzel mit Pommes und ein Roastbeef mit gegrilltem Gemüse. Das Schnitzel jeweils für 12 € und das Roastbeef für 14,50 € sowie das gegrillte Gemüse für 4,50 €. Als das Essen dann serviert wurde, waren wir sehr enttäuscht. Die Portionen waren übersichtlich und das gegrillte Gemüse für 4,50 € bestand aus 7 kleineren Scheiben Aubergine und Zucchini. Allem in allem ein Abendessen, das man zwar mal gemacht hat, aber wie man so schön sagt: einmal und nie wieder.

Nonostante ci sia stato detto che per l'allestimento del tavolo si pagavano 2,50 euro a persona, abbiamo accettato e ci siamo seduti a un tavolo con una buona vista. Quando abbiamo preso i biglietti, siamo rimasti piuttosto sorpresi dai prezzi, ma non ci siamo preoccupati e abbiamo ordinato prima qualcosa da bere. Per una Coca da 0,33 l abbiamo pagato 4,50 € e per una birra da 0,5 l abbiamo pagato 6 €. Le bevande non hanno tardato ad arrivare e sono state servite da un personale gentile. Per quanto riguarda il cibo, abbiamo ordinato 2 Wiener Schnitzel con patatine fritte e un roast beef con verdure alla griglia. La cotoletta costa 12 euro a testa, il roast beef 14,50 euro e le verdure grigliate 4,50 euro. Quando il cibo è stato servito, siamo rimasti molto delusi. Le porzioni erano piccole e le verdure grigliate a 4,50 euro consistevano in 7 fette più piccole di melanzane e zucchine. Nel complesso, è stata una cena da non perdere, ma come si suol dire: una...

From the very beginning service was very poor, after waiting a few minutes to be seated one of the waiters shouted at us across the restaurant and pointed to the direction of our table and left us to find the table for ourselves. Following this we were given bread and olive oil, we then asked one of the waiters if we could have a plate so we could poor out some olive oil to use for dipping, he told us to just ask someone else as it wasn’t his job. Food was ok but the service really ruined the experience for us, would...
