Pasticceria Regina In Venezia

26/10/2025: 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.

09/10/2025: 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!
