Your paying for the location on the Canal at the Venetian Resort and the breathtaking views of St. Mark's Square, the Grand Canal, and gondolas passing below. The food is in no way award winning authentic Italian cuisine. It's basic at most & is extremely expensive. Do not order any sea food here. Maybe that's why it was so bad. I should have just ordered a pizza or something "Italian". See pics. Every dish will cost you an average of $45 bucks & that's without drinks so you do the math.
