Trattoria San Polo — Restaurant in Venice

First and foremost, this is not an authentic Italian restaurant but a Chinese-run establishment. Not a single staff member is Italian. The pizza we ordered was clearly frozen, with only the toppings added based on the chosen flavor. I ordered the frutti di mare, and the mussels had an awful taste—almost like sewage.

The next morning, I woke up feeling extremely sick and couldn’t eat anything all day. My condition worsened over time, severely impacting my holiday plans as I ended up vomiting multiple times. Soon after, I became weak, developed diarrhea, experienced muscle aches, and my body began shaking.

I have no idea how they store their food or whether any hygiene measures are in place. I expect the owner to contact me and issue a full refund. Otherwise, I will pursue legal action, as I had to pay for both medication and missed attractions due to this illness. I look forward to...

Had a delicious Margherita pizza with an iced latte here! The pizza crust was perfectly crispy, paired with a flavourful tomato sauce — simple but so satisfying. The staff were super friendly and welcoming, and the vibe of the place was really cozy. Prices were very reasonable too – definitely great value for the quality. Highly recommend!

We were just passing through Venice for a day and randomly chose this place to take a break — turned out to be such a delightful surprise! Funny thing is, I even forgot to pay and happily walked off after my meal. Only realized it during my evening accounting. 😅 Immediately contacted the restaurant, and the lady owner was incredibly kind and understanding. Wishing your business all...

We stopped here on our way because the kids were very hungry. I trusted the 4.4 Google rating and decided to give it a try.

We ordered the simplest dishes: a margherita pizza, a vegetarian pizza, and spaghetti bolognese. Unfortunately, the pizzas were a complete disappointment. The dough was undercooked, the bottom wasn’t crisp, and it felt heavy on the stomach. The margherita pizza was €7 — which seemed fine — but the vegetarian pizza was €13! They just added a few vegetables and charged €6 more, which is quite strange.

The spaghetti was okay, but definitely not worth the price.

It takes real talent to make bad pizza in Italy!

I strongly recommend skipping this place — especially if you plan...
