Trattoria Da Primo

Absolutely worth the price!
Delicious food with a variety of choices!
Will come back to Burano for their spaghetti!
Funny translation in Chinese tho (doesn’t make any sense) but it’s not a problem at all !!

On a trip to Burano from Venice, we decided to have lunch at Trattoria da Primo. At the end of the meal we left feeling disgusted. The food was decent, but everyone was extremely rude and took advantage of us because we were tourists. We ordered two dishes of the Tagliolini all’Astice in «Bellavista» which was listed as € 20,00 on the menu. However when the bill came, we were charged € 30,00 for each. We we’re then told that they were out of the normal lobster so they gave us the special king lobster– we were unaware of this and they did not tell us at any point that what they served us was extra. They should of checked with us before serving this to us and charging us, we just wanted the regular dish. It wasn’t the twenty euros that was a big deal, it was the fact that they tried to take advantage of us because we were vulnerable and unfamiliar with the area. When we tried to speak with them about it they literally told us «you are foreigners here, we will call the police on you». To charge you whatever they want and threaten to call the police if you don’t pay it is thievery and entrapment, a really dirty trick because they know as a tourist there’s nothing you can do. The waitresses proceeded to point at us and speak about us with the locals eating there, to whom they gave much larger portions. The bottom line is that this place is corrupt and takes advantage of tourists because they know they can get away with it– pretty sad if you ask me. AVOID THIS RESTAURANT, IT’S NOT WORTH IT!

Friendly efficient service in this family run trattoria. Best risotto I’ve ever eaten. We sat at an outdoor table so the kids could play in the piazza while we sampled local prosecco. Buonissimo! Grazie Paolo.
