Hotel Levante Ristorante In Caorle

02/08/2025: This is a Japanese-Venetian fusion restaurant that puts a lot of thought into its ingredients and cooking methods, and I admire the owner's courage. However, as an Asian, my dining experience was average. First, the menu is unclear, printed on white A4 paper and placed in a plastic bag. Ideally, a restaurant in this price range should have a more sophisticated menu. Many of the menu details and explanations are verbalized by the waiter, over-complicating simple dishes to appear more upscale. This marketing tactic certainly attracts local diners unfamiliar with foreign cuisine, but the hype outweighs the quality of the food. We ordered five dishes, along with Japanese beer and a few drinks, but the portions were small and the prices were a bit high. While the concept is full of innovation, it's essentially a combination of basic ingredients. The eel in the unagi rice, for example, is minced eel, not whole pieces. The restaurant's interior has a bistro-like feel, making it suitable for a quick drink with friends, but it's not recommended for a serious meal, especially for those who have truly experienced Asian/Japanese dining culture.
