    Pizza primavera
    Brad B.

    To be completely honest with you, I don't really remember eating too much in Prague. Maybe it was because the food wasn't very memorable or maybe it was because most meals were substituted with booze - I'm guessing, no, I'm sure it's the latter of the two. We really ate a lot of our meals on the go when trampling through the cobblestoned streets, so when we finally made an effort to sit down for a meal we literally stumbled upon this place. It wasn't smokey, it didn't feel like a dungeon and after a few days of adventurous eating some comfort in a familiar menu sounded great. Pizzeria La Ventola does come across as a chain but I can neither confirm or deny that. Perhaps a small one? The pizza was delicious and incredibly affordable. In fact, they had a happy hour deal that I remember being very impressed with but can't quite remember what it was. Half off pizza and beer maybe? Anyhoo... served with the pizza was a small condiment tray of powders, spices and an oil. The oil had some peppers in it and I dove straight in since I felt spice deprived for weeks. You see, they just don't do spicy too much in Europe and my Southern Californian blood demands a constant subtle burn simply to flow. This spicy oil went on my salad, my pasta, my pizza, my bread, in my beer, on everything! Okay, not in my beer but on anything edible. It truly made the meal for me but it's not for the weak and will punch you in the mouth, nose and eyes all at the same time - hot stuff! All in all, this may not be in the four-star range if it was nestled at home in San Diego, but when I was in need of a few bite of something mundane and recognizable, Pizzeria La Ventola hit all the right notes. Na zdravi!

    Awful service. The food is not that good either. Oh, and did I mention the service is truly awful!

The waitress was friendly, attentive and kind to the eyes while the couple a few feet away enjoyed their wide selection of wines and aperitifs. (I told them I was proud of their public display of joy!) My italian friends from Florida remarked on the traditional ambiance and downright homey feel of the place. Make a reservation, as the place filled on a Monday. Then, dig in, and dig it yourselves!

So we came again to satisfy his cravings. We ordered the Margherita pizza to share as our appetizer and only finished half but it was soooo good. Simple and delicious with fresh basil leaves garnish. Something unusual happened on this evening . There was a power outage for a while but I need to say... the staff handled it very smoothly , assuring diners that things will be ok soon. They were calm. We were more than confident , staying put and enjoying ourselves. Dishes came out quickly . There were LED lights on the table already and so we didn't skip a beat. Great place all around! We will be back!

The sauce seemed to have been made from a can (1 star off) as the diced tomatoes tasted different than the whole tomatoes that were added to the dish later; the whole tomatoes tasted way better. My husband got the pinsa alla diavola, which was like a spicy pepperoni pizza. It was fine, but reminded me of a pizza at a kids' birthday party (1 star off), maybe only slightly better. I made a reservation a month in advance, but did not know I had to specifically request for tables outside on the river. When we arrived, only a few outdoor tables were taken, but was told the rest were reserved, so we were seated indoors instead. When we finished our dinner, the same few outdoor tables were occupied. I don't know why the restaurant couldn't just stagger the guests for the outdoor tables according to their reservation times.

It was my second visit to Prague so I was taking my time to see more than the "must see things." As I said, I stumbled onto the restaurant because I was taking in the park where artists were painting, people were reading and I pulled out my phone to use the Merlin app to identify birds that were singing. It was totally picturesque. But I wasn't hungry. So I regretfully moved on without eating there. Imagine the elation a few days later when someone in our group booked a dinner reservation for us at the same place I was regretting having missed! With a group of a dozen of us, I think someone ordered everything on the menu. We were all thrilled. We had appetizers , cocktails and entrees -- everything we had was great! The restaurant is family-owned and we were treated to the son being a primary server for our group. Now and then dad was part of the picture too and we enjoyed the added dynamic. Pretty sure the son is on point for Americans as his English was on point. They were great hosts!
