Controcorrente In Venezia

Beautiful place, very friendly staff, the best pizza in Venice, and the restaurant is also top-notch. I recommend this place to couples because it's romantic, after a stroll along the lagoon, which is just steps away, while watching the sun set. For older people and families, after a nice stroll on the beach, which is five minutes away. The most beautiful place on the Lido. It's worth coming to eat here.

Pizza was decent, and the prices were fair. But the staff was rude and a bit slow. Update: I'm upping my review to 4 stars, because I was there once again, and the staff was actually nice to us.

Today I arrived in Venice with my mother and girlfriend, and on the first day of our trip we decided to visit this wonderful place. Many myths about Italian cuisine circulate in the Russian-speaking world. Some say it's overrated, others maintain that Italians have become lazy and that no one cares about the quality of their preparation anymore, but at least everyone agrees that Italian dishes are extraordinary. Yes, there are many places in our country that cook "Italian-style" to please our tastes, and coming to Italy I wasn't expecting a disappointment, but I was almost certain I wouldn't like it: after all, it's made for Italians, not for us. And maybe all Italian restaurants are like this, or maybe we just got lucky and ended up in the right place. Because the flavor of the dishes and the quality of the ingredients were excellent. My expectations of Italian cuisine, shaped by the opinions prevalent in our Russian-speaking countries, were completely wrong. That incredible balance of spices and the quality of the preparation completely convinced me that Italian cuisine is extraordinary. I was particularly amazed by the Quattro formaggi pizza: this combination of cheeses is simply perfect. We may not know all the nuances of Italian food culture, but who cares? The important thing is that three people were happy and had a wonderful time. Thank you for this enchanting place and its pleasant atmosphere. I'm sure we'll be back more than once during these six days in Venice. Thank you!

Found it by chance. Very good food, I ate everything. Very friendly and pleasant service.

The place is nice and the staff is helpful. We stopped in for dinner on a sold-out night; it's a popular spot with locals, but they mostly order pizza. A coincidence? Having ordered seafood and fried fish, we had a long wait. Luckily, it was karaoke night, and that definitely made the wait a little easier! The ingredients were high-quality, but some dishes were a bit too salty (bigoli in salsa), while others weren't at all (mixed fried fish), perhaps an oversight related to the busy night. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to calmly immerse themselves in the lagoon atmosphere after a tiring day at the beach.

Prices are normal as the restaurant is located in Lido near Venice where everything is not so cheap. The food was tasty, specially the fish. Restaurant team was very helpful, there started to rain at the day when we was in restaurant but the staff rised up a cover over us so the rain didn't hitted us. I recommend to visit this place with family or couple. I see still good potential in this restaurant.

The food and service were perfect. The ambiance and music were very pleasant. Thank you so much – I'll definitely be back. 8
