Hostaria da Franz In Venezia

21/03/2025: Excellent fish dinner, well prepared, excellent and delicious, to be repeated.

14/03/2025: 70s atmosphere, unfortunately the outside is anything but inviting. Small car park, then you arrive on foot under a rather poorly maintained pergola, where you arrive at the entrance to the restaurant. Internally the place is divided into 3 parts, entrance with bar and desk, then 2 rooms with tables for customers. The furniture is old although the place is well kept and clean. The bathrooms reflect the cleanliness of the place and there is no doubt about cleanliness here. The menu is well done, mainly fish and Venetian cuisine. The person who takes the orders is a person who knows the profession and knows how to make you hungry by describing the dishes. The cuisine is good, sometimes in contrast with the flavors of the fresh fish and I consider this a big mistake. The seasoning cannot cover the flavor of the fish, otherwise there is no point in him choosing to come and eat fresh fish. The portions are slightly lower, I'm talking about quantity, compared to the optimal, a strategy I don't agree with. Smaller portions are made to lower the bill. Anyone who comes to eat fresh fish and leaves the table satisfied knows that they cannot spend the bill for a vegetarian meal. But if the food is good and the portions are small it's as if it were coitus interruptus. Would I recommend it? Of course yes, but with the premises just described.
