Il Giardinetto

Several things led me to leave a negative review: -- The restaurant is located in an area where I would be cautious about going after dark. It’s not the kind of place you casually come across while exploring — you really have to go there on purpose. -- I ordered a salad and it was served in a quite large bowl. I had to specifically ask for a plate just to be able to portion it properly. -- What bothered me the most was how they served the wine. The menu clearly states that a glass of wine is 250 ml. I ordered one — but what arrived was clearly no more than about 150 ml. I assumed it was a mistake and ordered another. Same thing. When I asked the waitress if she truly believed that was 250 ml, she answered yes without hesitation. That really annoyed me most. For the purpose of objectivity, on the photo I had a glass of mineral water from a 650 ml bottle next to "250ml of wine".

Disappointing. Maybe ok for pizza. We had tuna carpaccio for starters, barely fresh. The grilled beef with mushrooms was flat, hard to chew and the spinach frozen. The grilled chicken with vegetables was okay. Poor service. Main dishes arrived 10 minutes apart.

Very tasty Italian food for a great price, the garden was lovely to enjoy the dinner in

The location was nice and they had really nice music. Apparently they also have a garden, but we did not saw it. The food was not bad. It wasn't wow, but not bad either. The pasta was a bit too spicy and for some reason, my husband had some stomach issues after. Overall, not bad. Really not bad. They were a bit more interested in gossiping our nationality, as soon as we finished requesting a table. Dear Italian business owners and citizens, we do not speak Italian because we would sound like a bunch of illiterate rednecks, but we understand Italian to some extend. You tend to judge ALL of us by the actions of some low class Romanians, which is wrong. We do not like them neither. Not all of us are loud, disrespectful and rednecks hillbillies. Please keep that in mind when you meet other Romanians.

Coperto is 2€ per person. After a day of driving, we got out for dinner as recommended by our hotel. They have ample free parking which is not connected to the building so if it's raining, you will arrive wet inside. The pasta carbonara was very tasty and served nicely. The water and capuccino were brought fast. The pizza Campana was very thin, swimming in tomato sauce, and it was meh .. better pick another one. Marta from the staff was very welcoming, attentive, and always smiling at us .. top service from her and another lady colleague. On the other hand, the romanian lady with curly hair made us feel very uncomfortable, which ruined the positive impression from the good food and great Aperol. The prices are very good and with the right choice and less grumpy staff, it can go up to 5*

Amazing restaurant and highly recommend! Food was great, didn’t wait too long. We sat in the garden and had a pleasureful atmosphere with good music. Price was alright as well. We were served by great waiter Vera. Spoke English and helped with menu choice. Offered to take away the food we couldn’t finish. We booked same restaurant for the next day as it was best food in Venice. For the price and size the pizza was the best.

One of the best value restaurants I've ever been to. Possibly the best pizza I've ever had and then at an affordable price as well! Great selection, big portions, friendly staff and cozy environment.

recommended by our host and it did not disappoint! we tried the half calzone half pizza and it was 10/10. You have to try this place and its mainly locals so you know its good! Its away from the central which also means not disgustingly overpriced or a tourist trap.

Best food and service I've had in Italy! Waiters were so kind and helpful, had an English menu, very quick.

Great food! You can taste the freshness and quality of the ingredients. All the employees are very friendly and willing to accommodate you even if you don't have a reservation. Would recommend!

I do not have anything but glowingly positive things to say. Everything was so delicious, I am thankful to have been recommended this place. I had a half pint of prosecco for 7 euro (which was a lot). And then the pizza was amazing and the dessert was really good too.

Our first meal in Italy! Supposedly if you share food in Italy it's considered rude, so we all got our own pizzas. This was a mistake considering how massive it was! I got a ham and artichoke pizza. The ham tasted like American ham (you know, that processed meat, which I'm surprisingly okay with). The cheese was absolutely delicious! Their mozzarella is way better, not surprised there. Also, I loved how it was thin crust! My friend had olives on hers, and apparently all the olives in Italy are pitted! Strange, but I guess you know it's fresh that way. We only ate half and reheated the other half for breakfast the next morning and it was still good! The pizzas here were only around 8 euros, which is super cheap for the size they give!

So happy I found this restaurant down the street from our air bnb. It's located in a small neighborhood, the tables and furnished are very nice. We were greeted as soon as we walked in with bread for our table. The server was very kind and patient (we've had so not so nice experiences as tourists when we were in Rome). Now the food.....spaghetti alle vangole/spaghetti with clams was amazing. Noodles cooked perfectly al dente, with SO much flavor. I would come back for seconds. We had the tira misu and it's was very good. Authentic and homemade definitely recommend.

Not as good as reviewed good. Be aware of cover charge of 2 euros per person and check the bill before you sign They mixed up with other tables. Foods were mediocre compare to others We had much better spagetties at the shopping mall

We stayed in Holiday Inn which is 10-15 min walk and all three days we dined in this magnificent place! We fell in love from the first bite and each night we tried different pizza with muscato bottle - the heaven on earth does eshist! We will deffinetly remember this lovely restaurant and hope to come back some day for more!

The atmosphere was amazing but the pizza was lacking on a taste department compared to whatever you get in Italy. We loved the area outside and incense burning around made it even better.

Delicious!!! If we could have, we would've gone back for more. We had pizza- swordfish carpaccio, prosciutto and honey, and the roasted vegetable. Oh. My. Goodness. Delicious. The prosciutto and honey was definitely our favorite. Their eat-in menu looked delicious as well!

My wife and another couple ate here (at Yelp's recommendation) and we were very impressed. The oven and pizza prep area is visible at the entrance and were top-notch. We had two pizzas (Pugliese and Strega), the pork Milanese, and the Veal Scallopini. All were excellent and well presented. We asked for a classic Chianti but they didn't have any and recommended a local Valpolicella (Monte del Fra) instead. It was quite good. The desserts were all very good, too - Crema Catalana, Chocolate cake, and Profiteroles). The place is run by a local family and several dedicated employees, who gave us good service even when things got busy. If we were staying another day we would eat here again.

Try making up your mind on which pizza to chose from! If you imagine the perfect Italian pizza, this is the place to get it!

We have one been in Italy for 5 days now but this has been our favorite restaurant, by far. The food is excellent and very good value. The mainly local clientele supports this observation as well. Great pizza selection and equally tasty. The pasta and large salads also delicious. Desserts were homemade and not pre-bought like those we found in some other restaurants. Ask to be seated in the beautiful garden area.

Super yummy! So many choices! Chic and comfortable. Try the smoked ricotta pizzas! Grateful for the small beer sizes, half a pizza was enough for me, had the rest as a delicious breakfast pizza....
