Venus

Sehr gute Lage, tolle Aussicht.
Sehr freundlicher Service.
Die Teller sind hübsch angerichtet, jedoch ist das Essen geschmacklos. Die Karte lässt sich schön lesen. die Gerichte hören sich sehr kreativ an.
Es schmeckt aber leider nach gar nichts… Mussten alles nachwürzen.
Die Preise sind absolut überzogen, für das, was man serviert bekommt.

There are some wonderful restaurants in this beautiful part of Italy — this is definitely not one of them! Pasta was overcooked and dry. My Rossini (a strawberry and Prosecco cocktail) was served warm and had obviously been sitting on the bar for a while! A tourist trap — definitely avoid!

We got married in the church on the cliff overlooking Orta san Giulio — church of Madonna del Sasso and then returned to the village for the reception which we had in the upstairs of Ristorante Venus.
From start to finish the whole experience was amazing. It was a leap of faith on our behalf booking this place but it seemed like what we wanted. The agent who was coordinating everything from Ireland initially recommended the restaurant as a nice place to eat. Best decision we made was to have the reception here.
The staff were amazing, the food was delicious and the venue sells itself.
We ate in the restaurant a couple of days before the wedding to suss it out and we knew immediately our guests would be in for a treat.

We just ordered drinks and dessert here but the view is amazing! When you order drinks, they give you a complimentary plate of prosciutto and cheese!
I had their dessert glass (forgot the name) which had strawberries, blueberries with strawberry ice cream and whipped cream. It was pretty sweet, but felt great on a hot summer day.
