Bacaro Baia Dei Porci In Chioggia

We enthusiastically returned to this restaurant, which, except for last year, we happily visit when we're in Chioggia. Our expectations were dashed. The appetizers were good, but the linguine with three orgasms had an emulsion that was unpleasant and lacked balance. The mixed seafood grill was drowned in oil, and the tuna chunk was truly paltry compared to the rest. We ordered a sorbet; since it was my birthday dinner, we asked for a candle, which we would have put on ourselves, given the difficulty with the sorbet. They never brought us a lighter, claiming they had just started vaping. We could have just asked colleagues or the kitchen instead of ruining what had been nearly impeccable service until then. On the way out, we learned that they had won the four-restaurant contest, as there's a winners' symbol near the entrance. This likely led to a price increase that isn't justified given the lack of amenities necessary to afford such prices. I'm sorry I didn't find the simplicity that made this place unique. I was disappointed when the owner, sitting at dinner, scolded the staff (with the restaurant full) for not properly serving the only table they should be serving, hers and her friends. It left a feeling of unease, given that for the €200 we spent for two, even the average customer should be considered important.

We arrived in Chioggia in the evening and it was drizzling lightly. While walking, we stopped to make a reservation at the Bacaro, Baia dei Porci. Excellent food and a professional welcome, with Cristina, who lent me one of her shawl jackets, and the very young Simone, who supported us and put up with our requests all evening, always with a smile! If you're passing through Chioggia and want to eat excellent, super-fresh fish...highly recommended! Ombretta and Ivan

Everything was wonderful! Excellent food! Thank you ❤️

A bar and restaurant. Fresh fish, excellent wine. A simple yet refined place. The owner is welcoming.

Fresh fish, perfectly cooked... the dishes are incredibly good! Tip: don't miss the three-orgasm linguine and the tortelloni with scallops! An experience worth repeating!

We ate well in a super top place. Cristina was superb. I highly recommend it.

I really would like to keep this a secret, this was by far the best restaurant we went to in Chioggia. Excellent, well-cooked local food and friendly staff ❤️ Thanks for a fantastic evening!
