5.5/10Abysmally rude staff, although the food was excellent (apart from the tiramisu which they need to learn how it’s done in the rest of Italy). If you book through The Fork, get ready for some very aggressive upselling and pressure to order quickly. Overpriced and the staff seem too busy to actually bother with the basics of customer service, otherwise known as “courtesy”. You have been warned.

4/10We arrived for our 7 PM reservation and were seated quickly, which was the only highlight of the evening. After ordering a bottle of wine and our appetizers, we found the burrata and monk fish to be quite good, but the pesto orecchiette was disappointingly average. Just as we were about to order dessert, we were rudely informed that we had to leave by 8 PM for a private event that was never mentioned when we arrived. This lack of communication was frustrating and, had we known, we wouldn’t have bothered staying. At 7:55 PM, instead of allowing us to enjoy our meal, the staff rushed us to settle the bill, despite us not even finishing our wine. When I insisted we would leave only once we were done, it was clear this annoyed them. We ultimately left around 8:10 PM, feeling completely unwelcome. Overall, the food was decent, but the service and atmosphere were subpar. We prefer to enjoy our meals at a leisurely pace, not be pushed out.

2/10Arrived at 8pm, queue outside. People with 7pm reservations still waiting. Waiter just shrugged so we left.

7.5/10Overall, the experience and food were good. However, one staff member made some country-based remarks that could be perceived as inappropriate or rude, which slightly affected the visit.

We felt a bit mistreated by the waiters. They made faces at what we ordered as if we weren’t ordering enough food. The head waiter tried to force me into a 65euro bottle of wine I had no intention of buying and he got pissed off when I didn’t. The food was just ok. Nothing special. For the price I would have expected much better.. and definitely much better treatment.

The restaurant had a lovely buzzing vibe to it. Clearly popular with locals as well as visitors. Service was attentive and personable. The food was excellent quality and generously portioned.

10/10Venice is very touristy so many restaurants are so so. Lovo was very good - not cheap, but worth it

6/10Expensive for volume and quality of food. Ravioli was not folded well so cooked unevenly and each ravioli was folded differently. Had better meals for cheaper.

10/10Delicious food- waiter recommended one of the daily specials- sea bass for two with potatoes and tomatoes - we ate every last scrap - followed by a delicious tiramisu! Waiters were attentive and friendly and the restaurant itself had a really good, buzzy ambiance. This was our third visit in recent years and definitely one we’ll come back to again!
