el chioschetto In Venezia

20/06/2026: A very cool and quiet place, away from the crowds, ideal for a relaxing meal. The fried food was excellent, and the battered vegetables were also delicious. The side salad, prepared with quality ingredients, was also very much appreciated. Unfortunately, I didn't like the second course. I had asked for either grilled fish fillet or grilled sole, both of which were on the menu. I had intentionally given both options, knowing that not all the fish listed is always available. I was then told that the sole was only for frying, and was offered a grilled sea bass fillet. In the end, however, the fillet arrived, heavily seasoned with oil and parsley, which looked as if it had been defrosted and pan-fried, rather than grilled. Nothing wrong with that; it was a dish that could have been enjoyable. However, if the menu says "grilled fish fillet," that's what I was hoping for, not a plate full of pink peppercorns.

07/06/2026: We found this little restaurant almost by accident, tucked away in the alleys of Pellestrina. We ordered grilled prawns and a sea bass fillet, accompanied by house white wine and a bottle of water. The prices are more than fair, considering they're all seafood dishes (we paid €43 total). The owners were very kind, especially when they helped us with a small payment issue. The only downside is perhaps the wait, likely due to the start of the warmer months.
