Bar Ai Do Leoni — Restaurant in Venice

Terrible service. Entered the café as my father wanted a cup of coffee, but the barista/bartender assumed that we were there to use their toilet (which we were not) and proceeded to close the toilet door to show us that we were not welcomed.

As an American and an Australian abroad, we always take the first few days away to explore/suss out the best spots in the area.

Rubin was kind, attentive, and knowledgeable-I had ordered an Aperol Spritz, to which he suggested the Venetian Select…and it was wonderful!! I don’t always like to divulge information on spots we’ve found-but I want to give a public shout out to Rubin and crew-we’re here for 3 weeks, and we’ll be back...
