The positives of the food probably outweighed the negatives of the experience - just about. Got given some dry bread as we sat down, asked 3 waiters for some oil, the last one even had the audacity to tell me "it's not the sort of...thing we keep in the kitchen" - really? No olive oil in the kitchen of an Italian restaurant! Fortunately waiter 2 miraculously turned up with some (with a pouring lid attached so obviously available somewhere). Unfortunately bread was finished by then! OK, whatever, but symptomatic of the general poor attitude on show. Ordered some meatballs and a couple of pasta dishes and to be fair they were really really good. House white also extremely drinkable and fairly priced. Asked for desert menu after dinner - not available, waiter 1 then reeled off 3 choices to which I said I needed a moment to think, he got the hump, walked off and never came back. Sat there for another 15 mins trying to get the bill, gave up in the end and just went up to pay. Waiter 3 barely even acknowledged me as he was too busy having a laugh with his mate. Like I say, kitchen has it's act together, absolutely could not fault the food, but front of house is essentially run by classic Italian arrogant so-and-so's . Oh, also there were quite a few 4 seater tables occupied by 2 lots of 2 split with a big perspex divider slapped on the table, fortunately not us, but probably not what you're after if you want a nice romantic dinner with your missus in the heart of Venice!More
