Staying at the Hilton Molina Stucky on Guidecca Island there is little other choice for eating out on the island, so perhaps the lack of competition has resulted in poor standards. Situated just along the front from the satellite Ciprani Harry's Bar restaurant, Ae Botti looks OK and has a great situation, but there it ends! The food was average... More

Staying on Giudecca island, we happened to walk past Ostaria Ae Botti and decided to give it a try as it looked okay from outside. It turned out to be the worst choice we could make. The portions (gnocchi al ragu, caprese...) were tasteless (100% canned food), tiny and expensive, considering the mediocre quality. In addition, the waiters were very... More

We found ourselves looking for something less touristy and away from Venice and the crowds. The day pass on the Vaporetto gave us the freedom to explore and we landed at Palanca to find this amazing spot right on the canal with views beyond anything we'd seen. The Crab Gnocchi was absolutely amazing, handsome and funny waiter, and lots of... More

We enjoyed the food and the waiters are all well trained and super friendly. They help you out to pick a good selection for dinner. Hadto have a reservation to get in but waiting isalso pleseant with a glas of spritz or wine. It is close to the Hilton hotel and the Palanca vaporetto station. House wine is decent too,... More

This is the sort of typical tourist rip-off place which people associate with Venice. Food is ok but service is very poor. The automatic 12.5% added to the bill engenders lax service with waiters only really interested in up-selling 'specials' to gullible tourists. Stay well clear, there are far better alternatives on Giudecca. More

I had bad feelings in this restaurant. I think the staff are laughing at the tourists behind their back . We waited over 20 mins before anyone came near us while they served & chatted to all their pals who sit out the front. Once we decided what to eat the waiter kept trying to push the clams which we...

We were in Italy for almost three weeks and this was our worst experience. The waiter suggested a meal to us and we innocently took his recommendation which ended up costing 50 euros. We were shocked at a 99 euro total for our meal. Just be warned to ask prices before you agree....... More

I don't have many nice things to say other than this was the worst service we experience. The waiter tried to pull a fast one on us by bringing out a dish we did not order. He then did it a second time by just putting some prosciutto and then when I asked him he said they ran out of... More

After finally selecting our dishes that the waiter reluctantly too while trying to push the daily specials on us, 6 out of 7 of us had the wrong dishes, 4 were specials that we did not even want. The waiter then called us liars and yelled at us. We ate and left as soon as we could. We felt ripped... More
