da Pino Mestre — Restaurant in Venice

We were recomended this place by our apartament manager and it didnt dissapoint. The food was very delicious, especially the pizzas. The prices are very afordable, around 20-30 euros per person with dessert. The staff were very kind and helpful, although one time one of the waiters didnt understand what we were asking and instead of trying to figure out what we were trying to say, just waved us off and walked away. But everything else makes up for that moment and we had no other issues. The service was fast and we didnt need to wait long for our food. We liked the place so much that we even tried to come back a second time to eat dinner, but unfortunetaly the place was full. That only proves how great the place is. Over all great place, everything is clean, the food is delicious and the staff...

Recommended by the guy at our hotel reception (Hotel Centrale).

Massive outdoor seating options. We went inside to avoid any puffers.

Interior is good.

Service was swift and efficient.

Needed fuel after a day our flying and walking, so opted for simple pizzas.

Arrived at the table in record time and were so tasty that the plates were empty.

Opted for sparkling water because we had a real thirst on us.

Craft beers available but rather expensive for what they were. Wine at reasonable prices.

The host was not having it, despite an empty restaurant and there being literally one other customer. Quite rude and inflexible.

The pizza was ok, not even close to many of the others in we tried in Venice. They also served it in a massive metal tray, which took up more than half of the table.

Aside from the host, the service staff were nice and very attentive.

Ultimately, not great atmosphere. If in the area way better off choosing a place in the main square, which has great atmosphere. Pinos looks at a...
