Al Gambero - JESOLO

This is a fairly large restaurant in Cortellazo. We visited for lunch, arriving close to opening time. We both ordered the seafood risotto, which was deliciously creamy and one of the best I 've had anywhere. My only criticism was that the waiter was a bit 'pushy ', asking for our drinks order within 15 seconds of sitting down, and encouraging us to buy multiple courses. This would be fair enough at dinner, but it was a very quiet lunch service and about 6 people in a 100+ cover restaurant one course is reasonable and locals were doing the same. Still, a really nice meal and I would eat there again.

We had lunch using a Groupon coupon. We wish we had not. The antipasto they gave me was listed with 4-5 different varieties of fish in the offer, but what I received was only octopus! The first dish had little seafood and the taste was not great. The second dish was actually a small antipasto which consisted of just three shrimps (really only three! and, even worse, the shrimps were frozen: I had the hardest time peeling the shells off! As a dessert they gave me a slice of industrial cheese cake with stale berries on top that was very old: I did not eat it. I must say, the best part of the meal was the coffee. Quite a sad situation…and a rip off. Never again!

Stunning food, first class. It's one place I will definitely be returning to. Each dish was a pure delight of seafood, with first class service and charm . Nothing was too much hassle!

Characteristic family-run restaurant, attentive to the needs of customers, offers fish dishes with the classic flavors of the marine tradition. I recommend it. a little crowded with respect to the contingent period.

Eaten very well, very kind staff, cozy environment.
