Scarabeo In Venezia

27/05/2025: REVISED AFTER RESPONSE BY Business owner TO REMOVE THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT. This spot came recommended by the wonderful local guide we spent the afternoon with so ten of us made our way there after a full day of walking—damp air, tired feet, and ready appetites in tow. We stopped to check the menu outside and were promptly greeted by the server, who asked if we’d already looked at it. The tone carried a subtext—are you sure you can afford this?—which, given the menu prices (nothing much over €50 unless you get into the upper shelves of a not-so-local wine list), seemed a bit misplaced. Still, we were seated. Service was decent, the seafood pretty good, though something about the vibe felt off. The dining room inside was oddly quiet while the canopies outside had a fair share of guests. No real complaints, but it didn’t quite hit the mark either. We enjoyed our evening together, tipped well, and left amused that we’d passed the affordability test. At least we were able to find a red we hadn’t enjoyed before.

22/05/2025: Excellent restaurant, cuisine with Mediterranean flavours, courtesy and hospitality, a place where you can stop for a bit of tranquility
