This place was a 2 min walk from the Hilton and opens at 7pm for dinner. It seems family owned and lots of locals eat there. Food was great and tasty. Price was very reasonable and service was okay. Limited English speaking but pictures and pointing does the job. We enjoyed the food. read more

(Dined 11/09/17 TH @ 8:00pm): Spring over to this homey Italian restaurant for some home-cooked food! After an exhausting day of traveling from Los Angeles, getting situated at our hotel the Hilton Garden Inn, and exploring the surrounding area, my friend and I were ready for a real authentic Italian meal and found Primavera walking distance from the hotel. Located on the ground level of the Hotel Primavera, it appeared exactly what we wanted for our first evening in Venice, Italy. Would this be a great representation of true Italian fare!? PURCHASE Complimentary Bread & House Red Wine (9.00 Euro): Freshly-baked bread...you were my kryptonite! With its flaky outside and soft inside, I just wanted to be melted butter spread myself all over each slice. Served as a liter, my first impression was an anchovy aroma followed by bold dark berries and oak on my palate, this full body finished with an dark berry astringent aftertaste. Not bad at all https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=Vbm2G-R5rRfl4YIRLlUXGA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! Spaghetti Alle Vongole (10.00 Euro): Cooked to perfection, the pasta was wonderfully soaked in the clam broth but lacked in portion size. In addition, there were appeared to be a disproportionate amount of clam shells versus baby clams. All things considered, it was a lovely dish but wished it was bigger https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=gq1lMk7a6kKWaI8zN4_eZw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Quattro Formaggi (8.00 Euro): This 10' medium-crust pizza was layered with four different kinds of cheeses (I picked up gorgonzola, mozzarella, and parmesan but couldn't get the fourth). The crust was crispy, light, and easily went down while the marinera sauce seemed to have a tinge of their house red wine in it...unless I was inebriated at this point! I honestly could've eaten another pie and would've had no regrets about it https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=KikCgalI4DfqqppKq84s_w&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! SERVICE With the clang of the bells on the front door that opened to the bar, an older woman with menus in-hand appeared from the restaurant warmly greeted us and led us to a table for two inside the dining room. We needed several minutes to peruse the menu which gave her ample time to help others. Once ready, she kindly answered some questions, took our order, and quickly brought out a bread basket and wine. Minutes later, the rest of our meal was brought to our table. Throughout the meal, we were checked on while our water glasses were filled. After a casually long and relaxing meal, we asked for the check, immediately paid, and were on our way with a gracious "ciao bella!" All was good! PARKING Although they had their own parking (not sure if they charged), we simply walked about five minutes from our hotel. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A large three-section layout divided into a quaint bar and a dining room split into two, it was as if you entered into someone's home which they converted into a quasi-banquet hall. Square tables in various sizes and heavy wooden chairs filled the dining room while various framed pictures hung tastefully on the walls https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=D-Ip0R2_pWq7Z-QuYgBeVg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. An exposed section revealed a pizza and bread ovens, respectively, which lent themselves to a lovely baked aroma. A decent amount of natural lighting came in through the various glass doors and windows while a wealth of electric recessed ceiling lights covered the entire restaurant. There were TVs while music played in the background https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=dBb3cg6MTRbv7xWQ3X61_g&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL Primavera added a spring to our steps after we left and was a near-perfect experience for anyone's first night in Venice! The mom-and-pop local feel was exactly what I enjoyed coupled with cheap prices, warm inviting service, and amazing food with an extensive menu https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=9xVzQNiWjXb-8pZnSzzwTg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. The only thing I asked was that they somehow made sure there were more clams in their pasta. I found total value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $27.00 Euro BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice...AMEX https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=GVglLm3yHkKfW-mZLPi_QA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! 5.0 STARS read more

Primavera - Margherita pizza and a beer! - Italian Near Me - Venezia, VE

Food is garbage. Dried out calamari is out of a box frozen I have eaten in quite a few Portuguese restaurant. This place, should we last on your list. read more

Food is good to fair. We ate here because Yelpers recommended it. It's cheaper to eat here than at Hilton. They don't cater to Americans. At all. So unless you're starving and don't care, choose wisely. I swear by he baguette sandwiches we bought in Venice! We bought a one and ate the remaining bites in the am for breaky. Bottom line: eat here over the hotel. Don't expect good or fast service. Food is good. After eating around Italy, don't get your hopes up but enjoy the wood fired pizza. read more

Went from the Hilton Garden Inn next-door to try to get dinner. I was alone. I was immediately disrespected and told they had no seating for me outside. The entire inside was empty. I said can I sit in there and They said OK. I sat down and many families came and sat around me. I waited for 30 minutes and nobody entered the room to even provide me with water or a menu. Other families were also getting up and walking out. Total lack of service or respect. An Italian family came in just as I was about to leave and they were immediately served. It appeared that anybody who spoke English was being ignored. read more

Staying here at Hilton Gardens and a guest there recommended. Great pizza and great price! Only one driveway away from the Hilton. Tried their margarita and ham and mushroom pizzas. Their lasagna was good. We took out pizzas for two nights and ate there our last night. As we could not find anything else open. Tried their spaghetti with seafood and it was delicious. Don't have to break the bank. read more
