De Canto — Restaurant in Venice

Unfortunately had a poor experience at de Canto Wine and Bar. Till waiting for my Landing at the Airport decided to get my Lunch by them. The Waiter a Man middle 40's greeted me and offered me a table to sit. I decided myself for a Polenta in Tomato Sauce with Scaloops. I had to wait 40Minutes to get my Food. In meanwhile I wanted to order some Water, tried to smile to the Waiter and talk to him. He said that he has no time for my order and left in rush.

The buffalo mozzarella salad was the best salad, looked and tasted as advertised. The tortellini was as advertised and quite delicious. For this reason only I give it 2 stars over 1 star. The pasta was most reasonable and the best.

Stay away from the salads, beware of surcharge to sit, and don’t expect...
