Al Brindisi

You’re tired and you’re looking for food and the waiter is welcoming you into nice tables with good views. It’s tempting. But STAY AWAY.
0 star if I could.
Lasagna tasted like store-​brand microwaveable lasagna in America. Waiter was unclear about the pricing of spaghetti with lobster. We did not get water and was charged with 2 euro per person seating charge. Spaghetti was bland.
It was my first time having spritz but tasted like watered down beer.
1 star and 2 euros for the nice view, I guess.
We didn’t even get bread!

This place was way over priced for what you were given. We ordered pasta and the portion was tiny! The waiters were pushy and it took ages for our food to come out. I would not recommend to eat here!

Very underwhelming, this was our first meal in Venice and left disappointed and hungry! Menu seemed ok, much the same as most other places, prices not too over the top and good location. We were given 2 welcome glasses of prosecco which we made sure would not be included on the bill!
Ordered a prosciutto plate to start, a beer and 2 pastas, waited over half an hour just for the prosciutto all while seeing other tables who had sat down 15 minutes later than us have pasta dishes and prosciutto brought out to them and not us! We asked the waiters where ours was and were continually promised it was coming… Pasta took another 20+ minutes after the prosciutto and portions were very small and underwhelming, taste was decent but we went and split a whole pizza elsewhere after leaving here still hungry!
We knew not to eat the bread to not get charged for it but nowhere did it say anything about the € 2 per person table charge or 12% service charge! I argued with the waiter and he tried to convince me it was tax, I could not be bothered anymore so paid it without any further tip and went to fill up my stomach!

Food was tasty and the people were friendly. The place looks out to a courtyard and church. Its a good location. I had no problem with price. I do think for the location in venice if they classes up the joint and plated food in a more eloquent way this place can move up a notch.

Was close to the hotel and did feel touristy. Pizza was just blah and pasta selection was the same. It was nicely located near the Rialto Bridge and our hotel, but not worth revisiting for the price.

Located in a great square where you can dine Al Fresco and people watch. They offer complimentary wifi.
After seeing reviews from another travel guide we stuck to the fixed entrees and passed even on the wine. I saw many people getting seafood pasta with lobster which was all sold by the grams!
I had the seafood pasta and even the shrimp had the body cut off so all you got was the head. The flavor was tasty but for the money paid I suggest going elsewhere. BTW the bread here was horrible — hard and not even edible.
This was the most disappointing meal while visiting all of Italy.

Really sucks. Overpriced low quality Italian food in the middle of a nice plaza. This is a total tourist trap! Soup and spaghetti were both way way too oily and buttery. No flavor. Weird staff, seems like they work on commission or something. Very pushy and annoying. Just avoid.

Slightly unremarkable from the outside and I had a horrible feeling it would be a tourist trap, given the close proximity to land, however, this was a pretty decent pizza!
Each was around EUR10 and the service was spot on, so, no complaints!
