Ai Veterani - VENEZIA

Excellent food,really nice and friendly stuff.They welcomed us and served us we were their family..Big recommandation..Perfect place to have dinner.5

The very cold welcome when we entered should have been enough to have us running for the hills. Not easily daunted we checked out the very limited menu and ordered two courses. The starters that were actually slammed down on the table in front of us were to be fair very tasty, my husbads main , although very minimal, was also very tasty. I however never received my main course and was left to sit and watch him eat, trying to grab the waiters attention proved to be incredibly difficult.... that man has some seriously good techniques!!!! No drinks were offered all evening we had to constantly chase to ask for top ups, after nearly half an hour of waiting it became very clear we would not be offered dessert and tried to attract the waiters attention to get the bill, this again took constant badgering for nearly another half an hour and was then slammed in front of us along with a card machine..... no thank u or good evening as we left leaves me with no other advice than to AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!

My husband and I are staying in Mestre for 2 nights before joining our cruise in Saturday. We walked round Mestre until we found a square but everywhere was bars and cafés that just served alcohol and snacks. After half an hour of wandering we came across this restaurant and went in, bring uncertain as to what we would find. We were pleasantly surprised as the food and service were both excellent. We had s lovely bottle of wine and we given free soup starters which were delicious. My husband had the spaghetti with tomato and basil starter and I shared this with him as it was a huge portion and very tasty. He then had lamb with rosemary and I had the beef entrecôte; both of which came with potatoes, so we ordered some mixed sauté veg which was courgettes and aubergine. We finished up our meal with coffees which were perfect. A great night out for less than €80 for the 2 of us. Will be going back again tomorrow night as was superb. Thank you.

Simple, no frills, quality home-style cooking. Attentive service pleasant atmosphere. The gnocchetti were so good I ordered them twice! And of course, the wine was delicious!

Gianluca was our waiter. We have starters and a main course. I had the special Gnocchi and my fiancé had the mixed seafood pasta. The peroni was cold! The food was hot! The service was lovely! On our very first lunch in Italy we are delighted to have stumbled across this little Gem! Thanks for the great experience
