Ristorante Da Branin In Santa maria maggiore

Excellent experience to be repeated.

Along with slightly salty polenta and sausage, the risotto creamed with walnuts was really good. Warm environment and Christmas atmosphere! Inside there is also a small "shop" with objects of all kinds to give as gifts during these holidays! Excellent choice

Nice and intimate place, new, clean, in the center of the village. The staff was a bit cold but efficient even if the cutlery was never changed, paper placemat and napkin, food, apart from the truly spectacular veal with tuna sauce, almost all tasteless. The menu was the fixed one from the markets and seemed promising. The rabbit tuna was tasteless, watery. The risotto with toma, despite the two teaspoons of parmesan added at our request, was al dente but absolutely bland in appearance and taste. We saw almost complete plates being returned from another table. We ate it because we were hungry, as one eats plain rice at home but it was not a restaurant dish. The second course was not very salty, the polenta seemed pre-cooked and was cold, the broccoli gratin was ugly to look at but at least it was tasty. The desserts... the panna cotta, of the right consistency but not sweet. The pandoro morsel (fried?) that no longer tasted like pandoro, completely distorted, to be dunked in a single bowl of zabaglione a little too foamy. It's really sad to write such a negative review but we all agreed at the table on the lack of dishes. Bad day? Maybe. Anyway... the portions are right, the bread at the table is poor but it's there to avoid waste and if necessary you can ask for it, the price would also have been correct. Good coffee. It's a real shame about the cuisine that didn't satisfy us.
