I returned for Christmas in 2019 and they had closed the day before for the holidays. Now, post pandemic, I returned to find Moro gone, replaced by a Chinese restaurant. Like that was needed? There's now three inside of less than a city block. Attached is the photo of what I did get in 2017, bigoli with duck sauce and grilled octopus with mixed veggies.

Sorry we didn't get a soup which we saw as we were leaving. Husband had pumpkin ravioli and I had spaghetti with tomatoes and olives. Both were superb. We shared a steak tartar that was prepared at our table. I MUST learn to make this. If you don't know, this is RAW BEEF!!! Spectacular but not quiet as good as the Czech version from last week. For dessert, he had tiramisu and I had lemon sorbet with vodka and candied ginger. So good we made a reservation for the follow night!

Luckily, Da Pino came to the rescue by being open a whopping 30 minutes earlier at 6:30 when we were starving. They have several locations, and this one is hard to miss with its ample outdoor and indoor seating. There is AC inside, so sitting inside always wins. There is also an English menu, and the servers speak English too. They have a large menu consisting of their signature pizzalonga, which is basically where you can mix and match different pizzas that are a quarter of a meter. You can also get pasta, salads, meat, and regular circular pizzas if you don't want their pizzalonga. Food: -Seafood pizza: This pizza is large enough to split between two people. There was an okay amount of octopus, clams, and shrimp on the pizza. I like that their crust tastes light, but it's still chewy-yummy! -Gnocchi (7 euro): This is a basic gnocchi with tomato sauce and basil, but it was very good. The gnocchi was tender and the tomato sauce was on the tart side. -Da Pino salad (9.50 euro): This salad comes with baby corn, olives, shrimp, hard boiled egg, radishes, cherry tomatoes, and buffalo mozzarella. I like salads that have a lot going on, so this was a good option! Like the pizza, it was large enough to share. Dressing is olive oil and vinegar that you dress yourself. Service: -Our waitress was friendly and spoke English. Our food arrived promptly, and in order to pay, you bring your number up to the front even though it is a sit-down restaurant where they take your order at your table. Bottom Line: I'd eat here again and recommend it to people who are looking for an affordable restaurant with lots of options. This is a good option if you have a large group looking for a large, but affordable menu.

The atmosphere and decor is very elegant. The servers are dressed very nice and are super attentive. We had three to help us although we were the last 4 in the restaurant. We were hungry but not hangry so we only ordered a small salad to share and a pasta dish. Wines and water for drinks. What we got however was much more! We got a cool truffle egg mousse in the actual eggshell that was somehow laser cut perfectly for you to just eat out of the eggshell. It was light, tasty, had some green herbs on it with a little spoon to get in there. The salad was split right in front of us. Salads here, or any vegetables for that matter, seem very scant here. Not sure why or how they get their fiber but I suppose they do bc the Venetians are thin! We both ordered the dinner specials. Catenacci which is ironically the name of our fertility doctor. They were rings of pasta filled with either meat or seafood or veggies. I ordered the seafood one and it had gold specs on it! They offer a variety of breads: black cuttlefish bread, whole wheat, tomato basil, etc. yum!! Didn't get dessert as they started at 15 euro each and you couldn't tell what they were: beer and truffle, globe something. Again though they surprised us with a free little plate of bite sized desserts for tasting. Overall a tasty elegant meal. Not a 5 only because it was pricey and not fall off my chair to come right back for the food amazing.

We ordered frito misto as a starter, seafood risotto for the next, and two pizzas for our last part of dinner. The bread served us was stale and simply not good.

The seafood risotto was good with a good amount of seafood and the risotto was cooked well.

Marco, the results more-or-less a disaster from the décor and loud music to the inedibly stale table bread as well as many of the actual plates. Owned by a gregarious gentleman whose fluency in English was an unexpected treat considering a location well-outside the traditional tourist zone, entrance to Ristorante Pizzeria Aladino brings patrons face-to-face with a true hodgepodge of Italian and Middle Eastern influences, the offering of Kabobs fused with Pizza just one of a handful of confusing elements, though the pies with French Fries and Frankfurters may have been an even more perplexing choice. Arriving at 21h15, the restaurant mostly empty and staff seen regularly taking cigarette breaks that saw water go unfilled and long delays between courses one and two, bread was immediately set aside after just one lifeless endpiece, the Fritto Misto not just undercooked but downright oily with a texture that makes one think the Calamari rings arrived straight from a freezer bag. Modestly impressed by a plate of creamy Seafood Risotto offered per-portion to parties of two or more, it was with two nearly-New York-style Pizzas that the experience at Aladino met its conclusion, the Rosemary, Sausage and Saffron version finding the spices too liberally applied to be enjoyable while soft chunks of Brie were pleasant atop Walnut Pesto with chunks of Ham and Mozzarella, the crust falling far short of the high standard set one night prior and actually sort of disappointing compared to North American chains like Domino's or Pizza Hut.
