😠 We should have had a look over the reviews on google before entering this bar... it was not a great start to Venice. The table was tiny and I requested to change to a larger one but they said “it’s okay you only have two dishes” but we were 3 of us🤷‍♀️ was not pleasant at all. And the spaghetti was... People often mention pizza,

The table was tiny and I requested to change to a larger one but they said “it’s okay you only have two dishes” but we were 3 of us🤷‍♀️ was not pleasant at all. And the spaghetti was still quite hard and not delicious at all... my husband said it is the worst pasta he has ever had... and charged 2 euros per tap water... I wouldn’t recommend here for food, not sure about the coffee / drinks

    The pizza and beer was good. That is what we went for. The staff were friendly and helpful. The table clothes were a little dirty and as a non smoker I struggled with smokers around me while I ate. I guess the smoking laws are different in Italy and that is no fault of the restaurants.

    DO NOT EAT THERE! If it was possible I would give 0 stars. We were hungry and stopped there to eat. On the menu the food looked great, the food came quickly and we were happy till we realized that it was all probably frozen and microwaved food. We ordered four dishes and every single one of them tasted terrible. The pasta was sticking on each other, the pizza was 100% a frozen pizza bought from the Store, and the rice of the risotto was undercooked with few frozen seafood mix bits in it which also tasted disgusting. The Gnocchis marinara also was just store bought with caned tamato sauce and that was the best dish out of them. JUST TERRIBLE! And then they even charged us 8 euro extra for table service...

    Fairly large selection of pizza....among the best in Venice. Great service w/good English. Clean washrooms. Lots of outdoor seating.

    Cichettas we’re below mediocre not worth the visit. They also denied us a takeout option, which means if you want to get food or a drink here you will need to sit down. The three cichettas we got added up to about 8 euros. Very pricy considering its location on the Venice Main Street but definitely not worth the price. I will not return here again. Neither for food nor for drinks.

    tourist trap, lack of attention from the staff, if you don't want to waste your time paying a lot for horrible quality, look for another place, there are a thousand others in Venice! Next time, I will look for a Chinese bar, they work well, they are alert, and their products are of normal quality compared to the byproducts of this place

    Poor quality cake for 6 euro. I should’ve read the reviews before coming.

    The pizza dough is frozen even domino's makes their dough at the restaurant, food is mostly frozen. But I gave a 3 because they were fairly friendly.

    Best pizza I’ve eaten in town. If you like yellow cheese you will like it here.

    6 pastas you could easily make at home, one coffee and two cicchetti for a total of 100 euros is excessive. Nothing charming about the place not even the prices compared to so many nice and typical restaurants around. Stop for a coffee standing maybe

    A definite nogo For Tourists Unfreindly and Unflexible staff ( All the pasta was precooked so they could not even add a little olive oil or butter to it) Besides This You had to order drinks first and then food which is frustrating if you only have just looked at food and plan on ordering the drinks afterwards Next to this The Panini with Ham was Basically Toritilla so not even a proper Italien Panini and Theyre was a Mass of pigeons which squirmed over the restaurant obliviously this wasn't theyre fault but it added to the unpleasant experience of The Restauraunt In General. The only Positive Thing was that The Staff could atleast speak English. So in Total A bad experience that will not be repeated.

    The Pizza Margherita I ordered was cheap and it didn't taste well.

    Stay away. Staff is not friendly. We wanted to have a quick snack. Sat down and moved the table a bit from the sun. Staff approached us with saying it's not allowed. We asked why as there was no issue. We got "you don't like it go somewhere else approach". Not cool. We left.

    Terrible tourist trap. We paid €19 for 2 double espressos, a tiny, dry and half burnt focaccia and 2 small, completely stale ‘cream’ croissants that were obviously 1 or 2 days old. There were 2 drunk older men, obviously friends of the owners, who were loud and annoying. Please don’t go here, there are many bars that are much better and more affordable. The day after for example we had 3 great coffees, 2 delicious cream croissants and a pizza snack for €11 in Pasticceria Nobile, Cannaregio 1818.

    Ordered an Aperol spritz and a Hugo. The glasses were dirty and sticky. When I asked for the toilet, the barman sent me to another bar even though I was a customer.

    They serve microwaved food. I ordered a lasagna and parts of it were cold, when I told them about it they took the lasagna and returned 1 minute later with the same half eaten, now extremely hot lasagna. The plate was extremely hot as well. Really bad for 10 euros.
