Antinoo's Lounge & Restaurant — Restaurant in Venice

For a Michelin-star restaurant, this was incredibly disappointing. We were guests in the hotel, asked for a reservation for 8:30p and were told “no, 8:15p.” Normally, not a problem… except there was only one entire table occupied at the restaurant when we arrived. After dining here, I now know why the tables were empty. Where do I start?

€10 cover charge per person to “cover things like table linens and silverware.” The bill was €300+, so this coperto was greedy and excessive food was incredibly small portions and bland. waitstaff had no clue what was on the plates.

Upon complaining to the restaurant's lead waiter, we were not offered any solution but only told to "be quiet", which was extremely rude. Not only had they ruined an important evening by mismanagement and bad processes, but also treated us with disrespect. Not something to tolerate from one of the most expensive restaurants in...

We stayed at the hotel and had many drinks and our last lunch in Venice here. The food was very fresh, flavorful and good value considering the level of service and views of the main canal. We regretted not having more meals here. We ate at a few local places near the hotel and Antinoo’s is leagues ahead of them. The seafood spaghetti and mixed fried seafood was wonderful. Unbeatable views and ambiance. This is the place for drinks and meals on this side...
