First night in Venice and there are plenty of restaurants to choose from. We were a party of 7 so we all tried something different. The food was fine, nothing jumped out but nothing bad. Lasagne was a bit plain, but ravioli was good. read more

not a good idea to eat here by my opinion.The sea food is good right here, but the manu have lots of trap in there. They seems like they are nice but they won't tell you how does the food charge when you order. 順便一提這應該是中國人開的店子，一個看起來是老闆娘的人從頭到尾都在旁邊裝死中，千萬不要被服務員的友好騙了，累了一天了本來想著隨便吃一吃的好心情也被破壞了，真的是不論海內外只有中國人才坑中國人 read more

Riovenice - crazy price - Japanese Near Me - Venezia, VE

They really try to scam you here, not explaining how much the dishes really are. Our less than average meals came out to 195 for 4 entrees, one side, water, and 2 glasses of wine. The menu listed 8,50 euros and in tiny writing per gram. They claimed to have no cover charge, yet tried to charge 10 for service charge, plus 15% (34,95 euros.) They put one word in Italian and one in English, hoping we would not question it. We refused to pay these, considering they claimed no service charges, so our bill came down to 159 euros. As we left, we gave them 1 euro tip, and they told us we were entitled Americans, even though we were tourist trapped and cheated for a sub par meal. Beware if you're visiting!!! read more

This place is a rip off . I ate there yesterday with a girlfriend and ordered an appetizer, a Pizza and a spaghetti dish . At the end of the meal , my bill was €161 . They claimed that my appetizer , fruiti de Mare was worth $102. I traveled the world and dine in high end restaurants and never had an regular appetizer like that for €102. They showed it on the menu as €8,50 .. it's a total rip off that I wanted to call the Police . I'm leaving Venice tomorrow , but I might take time to bring this matter to the authorities . If they did this to me , I bet they'll do again to someone else if they haven't already .. I warn everyone to be very watchful when dining in this restaurant .. read more

WARNING: This restaurant is blatantly dishonest, fraudulent, and predatory to tourists (please scroll to the bottom if you already got stuck with a grossly inflated bill and are trying to rectify it). The menu lists prices in the range of €8-12 per entree, which felt about right given that we'd been paying roughly €10-15 per entree at other restaurants in Rome and Venice, for surprisingly filling portions. This place had cheap decor and what tasted like watered down wine (first glass was free, so couldn't really complain). We figured we'd be slumming it tonight, no problem. Ordered a roasted fish, lasagna, and a generic meat plate, and also got a bottle of sparkling wine. We were pleasantly surprised when they brought out a decent sized fish, a smallish lasagna, and a big old plate of meat. Meat was dry. Fish was good (and we told them so--this was before we knew they were trying to shaft us). Lasagna was mushy and salty. We thought we'd be paying €60, tops. Imagine our surprise when we got a bill for €230. They explained that the prices were per 100 grams, and that the meat plate is served in 1kg portions. So for anyone not keeping up, the advertised, listed price is **one tenth** the price they will actually charge you. Everything from the design of the menu to the way they described the dishes was designed to conceal this cleverly laid trap. The "per 100g" prices resembled per entree prices from other restaurants, and some of the food like the lasagna had prices per entree. The food brought out resembled the pictures on the menu, only bigger. On top of that they added a €15 cover charge AND a €30 service charge, none of which were disclosed at the beginning. There is no universe in which €230 would be a remotely reasonable price for the lackluster dinner we were served. No family of our size would have ordered the absurd amount of food they brought out to us at the prices they charge. They're desperate for customers, and this is how they make up for their lack of customer volume--hidden charges, and misleading prices intended to trick you into purchasing more mediocre food than you bargained for, and paying more than it's actually worth. To add insult to injury, the con artist of a manager that took our order attempted to gaslight us, insisting that he told us it was 1kg and that the price was by weight. He tried to say that everywhere in Italy charges like this. Nope, nope, and nope. After a very heated discussion we got them to knock it down to €150. I now wish we would have just held firm and paid €100 cash. I cannot recommend putting down €100 and just leaving because I don't know how the laws work in this country, and if that would constitute dining and dashing. However, I now think the best course of action would have been to hold firm at €100 (or €60 for that matter), and invite them to call the police to help us resolve the matter. I highly doubt they would want the police sniffing around their fraudulent menu and charging practices. There is no way their bill would hold up in any fair court--no meeting of the minds, no clear explanation, and worse than that, an overtly predatory scheme. I accept that businesses frequently engage in puffery, salestalk, and even up selling. But this was much more than that--this was a trick, plain and simple. My only source of comfort is that eventually the entire restaurant overheard our discussion, and hopefully the other patrons were able to avoid being victimized themselves. I am looking into how to report them for false advertising and other unfair business practices. Please don't let this restaurant sour your trip like they did to ours. read more

If there is a zero star, I would check that! Don't let the prices n pictures outside fool you...it's per ounces and it's expensive if u order the right amount to eat. We order a $40 dish for my kids that was supposed to be good mix of steak n sausage but the steak was so little and the sausage tasted like they put a whole container of salt in each sausage. The kids could not eat it nor could we. When we complain and asked for something to substitute with, even pasta, they refused and our kids had to leave the restaurant still hungry. I've never seen such bad service from a restaurant in my life. And this was for kids not for us. Not compassionate nor nice! Don't eat here!!! read more

This restaurant is GROSS! I don't even know how they are still running because the food is disgusting and inedible. It is a tourist trap and I KNOW If a restaurant like this was in New York it would be SHUT DOWN! All of the seafood is frozen it even says it on the menu and everything else is sludge to be honest. Everyone I went with has been vomiting ever since. I ordered grilled chicken and it tasted like crap too which I was surprised about bc how can you mess up a grilled chicken? So gross read more

We went to this place because we thought it had sushi and there are pictures of sushi on yelp. It is also under the category of Japanese food, it is not Japanese at all. I was hungry so we decided just to eat there anyway. With that being said the food was still pretty good. The only reason I gave it three stars is because I thought it was a little over priced for the kind of place it was. I also found it a little odd that they charged a 15% gratuity on top of the coperto and tax. They gave us a 10% off when we came in but I think that was more to offset all the other things they were charging. I don't know if this is new and commonly charged in Venice but it has never been that way before or at any other restaurants we have been too. It was a decent meal but they should be a little more honest about what they are charging people. read more

Went here for lunch. Pasta Nero was so good. Pasta arrabiata's heat was spot on. Lunch menu was good price as well. €10 for pasta/pizza and soda or you can order from the menu. read more

Tourist trap. Rip off. Do not eat here. The sign on the menu in the window said no cover but our bill came and we were charged a cover AND 15% gratuity. We advised our waiter and he said the no cover was only for the the 3 special items listed on the menu. This was not clear on the menu and was misleading . There were also gnats flying around which was annoying and gross. And the service was horrible The food left much to be desired. I would not recommend. They are lucky to even get a 1 star review. read more

Everything we had was great, from the oysters to the ravioli, and many other items we ordered it was so good we did lunch and dinner there. Sergio was awesome and I would recommend the blood orange spritz. read more

DON'T DO IT! Tourist trap. The bill was $180 for $40 worth of food. We were the only ones eating in there for a reason.
