I believe it's the best jazz bar I've ever visited. The band knew every song we requested (be sure to bring your requests, as they will ask!), and the sound quality was excellent. The club itself is small, dark, and intimate, everything you want a jazz club to be. It was truly an unforgettable evening.

Near the Rialto Bridge, you'll find a good mix of locals and tourists and an extensive cocktail menu. There's just one guy who runs the joint, but he make a helluva cocktail. I ordered a Mint Julep and he definitely made one of the better mint juleps I've had. It's definitely a sight to watch him at work as he'll put in a solid amount of time and effort into each cocktail. Plenty of people here ordered wine as well. Everything was about 9-10 euro per glass. There is also a selection of cichetta here that looked pretty good. One other perk is that you can drink outside the bar.

So, what happened here you might ask? We walked by this restaurant a day before our experience. A lively place selling tasty-looking seafood. Checked the ratings, looked all fine. So we decided to come back the next day to get some nice early dinner. We wanted to sit inside actually, but were told to get a table outside. Looked like rain soon - which luckily didn't arrive. Our waiter seemed rushed and not really in a good mood from the start. Got handed the menu. But there's a nice counter inside with all kinds of nice fish and seafood. That's actually what we came for. We asked the waiter on how to order that, but were told "no need to rush" without further explanation and left. So my wife went inside to have a look, since we didn't find that on the menu card we've got. She ordered a nice plate of mixed seafood inside. Which somewhat angered our waiter. I was still reading the menu for some more dishes to order. Waiter took it out of my hand, telling me "you don't need that anymore, you already ordered". Yeah, some. But we wanted more. But we made a decision that moment to leave it and to stop ordering more. Really weren't in the mood for food anymore. Shortly after he arrived with the mixed seafood. And that was actually very tasty. Fantastic even. Had two glasses of white wine with if, tasty as well, but not cheap. After less than half an hour we decided to pay and leave. Even great, we didn't enjoy it much anymore. Asked for the bill, our waiter arrived with it shortly after. Then the reason for the one-star review came (actually reason enough at that point already). My wife merely asked if she could pay with a credit card. "Be quiet!" was the answer. Yes! Be Quiet...to my wife! These exact words. Not because of a language barrier (his english was more than fine), not because of a misunderstanding. Plain and simple rudeness. I hope his mother is proud of him. How dare you talk to a woman, to a paying guest like that. If my wife wouldn't have signaled me to stay calm, I would have caused a very big scene at that moment. But we were on vacation. We won't a moment like this kill our mood for the rest of the trip. But at that moment I was cooking inside. A verbal attack like this I've never encountered. I've read some more reviews later. It seems not the first time that service here is out of line. It's a shame. The food is wonderful. Not cheap though, paid almost 50 Euros! Coperta is a normal thing, but here a bit higher than elsewhere. And this is the first time I've thought that the coperta was not deserved. Almost took it off the bill, but we didn't want to cause a bigger fight. Not sure what was/is wrong with this certain waiter. A dislike to tourists? A bad day? But: there's no reason to treat us like this. THE worst service experience we've ever had. And that means something. If you read up on my reviews here on Yelp and other platforms you'll see that bad reviews like this rarely happen. Nothing's gonna happen to Mr. Friendly anyway job-wise. But I wish at least he would be told by his boss. Then again, one day he'll meet guests that won't hold back if he acts like this again. And I find comfort in that.

I started heading back to my Airbnb when I noticed this warm-looking bar where an employee was smoking near the door. I read the words "jazz club." I heard music and went inside, where I spent an hour listening to Billie Holiday and no one else sing the blues and then some. Novecento has at least 3 rooms; I only saw the first. It's a nice old-seeming bar. The employees speak some but not much English. The bar's booze selection is somewhat limited; I recommend going with wine if you aren't a whiskey person. I ordered a margherita pizza. It was fine, but too overcooked to be of my liking. The sauce was yummy, the cheese was good, but the crust only so-so from what I could tell. Prices weren't bad. This big band soul would certainly return to Novecento. An American bar was perhaps the perfect last stop on my trip to Italy.

We booked a two-night stay at the Novecento for April 18-20, 2023. The Novecento holds itself out…read moreas a boutique 3-star hotel and advertises that its rooms have air conditioning. However, the room was hot and humid overnight, and the air conditioning would not turn on. We had to open a window to cool down, which resulted in an influx of mosquitos biting us, because there was no mosquito screen on the windows. In addition, the bed was advertised as a "superior double" but was actually two single beds that had been pushed together. The two beds were not attached to each other in any way, so kept slipping apart. After an uncomfortable and mostly sleepless night, we decided to move to a different hotel. We wrote to the hotel to advise of the problems and request a refund, given the room was not as advertised. The hotel's response was dismissive from the outset. They first claimed that air conditioning is "seasonal" and they are not allowed to turn it on until June 1. When we advised that we could not find any evidence of a law restricting air conditioning, and that the hotel we moved to provided it, they admitted they choose not to use it. The hotel staff said "we have to coexist with" the mosquitoes, and claimed to have mosquito repellent machines in the rooms. The dozens of bites we received show that the machines were either not operating or ineffective. Regarding the bed, the staff claimed that it is "normal" to push two beds together to create a double bed. The above information is not on the hotel's website and was not provided when we booked. Had we known that air conditioning would not be available, and the only option would be to open the window and get bitten by mosquitos, we would not have booked this hotel.

I also saw, but looks like other companies doing the same thing. The show is short, the ticket is affordable. The worst part of the show is how squeaky the chairs are. But it's absolutely incredible to sit and listen to this timeless music in a timeless place. I lost myself in the music while looking at these statues. I felt like I went back in time and it was wonderful. My only complaint, other than the squeaky chairs is that the entire group is made up of men. Can we dismantle the patriarchy already? There were some really cute musicians. They were so passionate and it was beautiful to watch the symmetry of their bows dancing in unison. There was a cute little mini, Italian, Chris Hemsworth, on the cello. I was like hey!!! I loved this!! a general tip for traveling, and Eli is bringing a hand fan.
