**Review: Disappointing Introduction to Venetian Cooking**
Today was my first foray into Venetian cuisine, and I regret to say the overall experience, for a total of 295 euros for five people, was quite disappointing.
Upon arrival, the staff warmly greeted us and seated us outside, providing a pleasant atmosphere. We started with a glass of wine, and our waitress, who may have been the owner, was initially helpful. However, there was a palpable sense of our American identity, which may have influenced her suggestions. She strongly recommended the fried vegetables and two Caprese salads, which indeed were delicious.
The confusion began when we ordered our main courses. Upon ordering four green salads alongside our entrees, she emphasized the lasagna, claiming it to be a cherished family recipe. Trusting her recommendation, we decided to give it a try.
When the food arrived, the four salads were enormous, one was enough to share among the entire group, but they lacked any real flavor. The lasagna, touted as the highlight, arrived cold and excessively rich. Disappointed, we sent the lasagna back, only to receive replacements within thirty seconds. This rapid turnaround was an unmistakable sign that the lasagna had been microwaved, confirming our suspicions and adding to our dissatisfaction.
The overall experience left much to be desired. Despite the friendly service and pleasant ambiance, the quality of the food did not justify the steep price. Unfortunately, my introduction to Venetian cooking was marred by this unsatisfactory dining experience. I hope they take this feedback to heart and improve for future patrons.
