Alberto Capo In Chioggia

A rather unusual culinary experience. On the surface, everything seems fine—decent food with no major flaws—but when the bill arrives, you can’t help but feel like you expected more for the price, leaving you disappointed. Risotto can only be ordered in a double portion, which drives up the price of what is essentially a simple dish of rice and additions to that of a good steak (44 EUR). The fish is fresh and locally caught, but it’s prepared in the simplest way—just heat treatment. Some might enjoy the pure taste of fish, but I can achieve the same flavor by buying fish at the market and throwing it on the grill myself. I don’t need a restaurant for that. Alongside the fish comes radicchio, tossed on the plate without any finesse, and crispy, tasty polenta. The restaurant offers a good wine selection, but the staff lacks knowledge about the grape varieties and origins. Once again, I find myself comparing quality to price. And so, disappointment prevails... As per response to owner: The owner's response is exceptionally arrogant and warrants a comment. It's clear that the kitchen is designed for the convenience of the chefs, not the customers. I tried to be fair in my review, but some people let their success go to their heads. I've traveled across Italy extensively and have never encountered a requirement to order risotto for two people. Moreover, a simple walk around Chioggia is enough to see that this claim is untrue. Even in Bologna, I never paid €22 for risotto. Simple, rustic flavors can certainly be appreciated, but such flavors should come at an honest price, not at gourmet rates. This is a case of style over substance and ego over reason. It’s better to go to Osteria Penzo, just opposite —a family-run, friendly place with a wonderful owner who treats tourists just as well as locals. And the food is more honest too.

Very good, highly recommended. The waitress is very good and nice.

Excellent restaurant in the center, located in the historic Piazza Vigo. A lunch or dinner break with a direct view of the lagoon is unparalleled!

Good gluten-free cuisine, beautiful surroundings and courtesy of the staff were all elements that will make me come back again. Well done.

Very nice, welcoming and well-kept place, in an excellent location in the historic centre. The staff is very professional, prepared and makes you feel at home. Last, but not least, the food. Excellent quality and plentiful dishes. I highly recommend it if you are in Chioggia 😊😊😊

Excellent fresh fish, cooked according to the Chioggia tradition. Excellent wine list

You have reserved a greeting even though the restaurant is empty. The dishes we ordered were not there. I don't think this restaurant will be open that long

Fine and tasty cuisine. Excellent service.

We loved this retaurant. The location is superb, the food excellent and the service friendly and efficient. This was one of the first restaurants we tried in Chioggia - and there were plenty of choose from. After a couple of not-so-good experiences, we came back to Alberto Capo very evening for the remainder of our stay - only disappointed we had to cancel on the last night - too much packng to do! Alberto himself kept an eye on the floor and had the knack of making every guest seem peronally welcome. We have a wonderful week in Choggia - a gem of a town, full of character, lively but not overun. A place to return to - like this lovely restaurant. Arrivederci!

SERVICE: 2 Die Bedienung war total unhöflich… wir mussten ewig (20min) warten bis sie die Bestellung aufgenommen hat und das erst, als wir sie darauf hingewiesen haben das wir gerne bestellen möchten. Da sie aber an andere Tische immer zügig und sich aus auf die Personen (Italienische Bürger) zugegangen ist, muss ich diese Bewertung über den Service schreiben! Das hat leider den Abend vermiest! Das Essen selbst, top ! VORSPEISE, kleine Variation mit Fisch, Fischpastete sehr lecker 5 HAUPTSPEISE, #1 Fangfisch des Tages vom Grill, schön kross, saftig und dennoch sehr gut durch, 5 #2 Miesmuscheln in Tomatensoße, Geschmack sehr gut , 5 #3 Spaghetti mit Butter für Kind bestellt, kam ohne Butter, 3 #4 Penne mit Ragout, 5 NACHSPEISE, Tiramisu. Creme gut, Kaffeesaft unten nicht so, in Summe 3-4 Espresso mit tollem Geschmack aber wässrig, 4 AMBIENTE, super gut direkt an der Brücke, leider viele Mücken
