We should not have listen to the kids and kept walking further to a place we knew would've been good. Food here is lackluster and MICROWAVED--GASPED. They have 2 microwaves that they put your burger and pasta in to the warmed up. This is blasphemy for being in Italy--in Venice--at an "allegedly" Italian restaurant.
The workers here are not the nicest people. They are in cohort with the guys who are placing music who then come over with a hat asking for money for playing--WHAT????!!!!??? The workers stand way too close to you and smoke even while we dine with kids.
Get this they DO NOT make their basic tomato sauce or bolognese from from scratch--it is all canned. The pasta and other foods are microwaved. The pizza are made from scratch for the most part--I do not know about the crust.
The menu said NO CARD. We were about to the leave and they said "oh yes we take cards if you buy over 10 euros". We asked for our bill and they said "oh we don't take Mastercard or AmEx only Visa" but they never specified at all. Trying to explain to them was like deer in a headlight. It's a good thing my husband was there. !
The only restaurant to disappoint here on our trip. It seems other share the...
Read moreWe had arrived in Venice after a long days travel and this place was just outside the hotel. It was just before 2200hrs and 4 of us sat outside to have our first experience of Venice.. we pulled 2 x tables together and were immediately told by a very rude waiter .."4 people one table" the table was about 18inch square..how he expected 4 adults with drinks food and side orders to manage on one table was beyond us....maybe we were supposed to use the floor. when we said we would find somewhere else, he simply said go on then...the place was fairly empty and I hope it stayed that way. we found a friendly and welcoming place across the road. Odd thing was there was a table of 5 that had a couple of children who had 2 tables together. Maybe it was the English he didn't want in his bar either way is soured our first experience of Venice. My personal opinion don't go there and if I can persuade one person not to go by this review then I'll be please. Hope the summer is bad for...
Read morenice little cafe on a corner of Campo Santo Stefano square. There are enough places in the shade and therefore a pleasant place to rest. Prices are fair, the coffee is not too small and very tasty. Of course, this is a great place for people-watching. The waitresses are very nice, I think it's a family business. I think the price for a pizza margherita (7€) is justified. But only drinks or ice cream should be consumed here because the portions are very small if you have too high expectations of the amount of food (it's also a snack bar). Inside everything is clean and tidy, welcoming decor. You can also take everything to go, which is...
