Trattoria da GiGio In Venezia

30/12/2024: This restaurant left a bit to be desired. Unfortunately, compared to the other restaurants we’ve dined at, this ranked among the lowest. The portions were smaller than other places. The food was prepared the slowest here. About 1.5-2 hours from ordering. The other tables were all given their own bottle of olive oil for the bread, however for our large party, we had to keep asking them to refill our dishes? Not too sure what that was about as the dishes were barely filled and maybe had enough for 3 small dips. Perhaps some racism at play. There was really nothing special to note about this restaurant. It was quite quaint and cozy, as it was decorated well. However some of the dishes were bland or poorly executed. Among them, this scallop on a dollop of mashed potatoes? The flavors didn’t quite match, but the scallop was cooked very good. The restaurant was expensive for what we were given. And with that, we did not bother waiting another hour for dessert. I would not recommend this place. If you only have one place to eat at, here, I’d recommend the Ristorante San Silvestro

17/12/2024: Place sacrificed for a few tables, if there are more than two people it becomes difficult. Had lunch with cicchetti, but given the cost I advise against it, better to focus on dishes, for cicchetti the bars are better.
