Our experience of Ristorante La Risacca was disappointing. It should have been such a lovely meal. The location was perfect, the restaurant itself was decorated nicely, the food was well prepared.
Our issue was due to the fact that the restaurant pushed us towards having their fresh fish. We have done this in Venice before and really enjoyed the style of meal. The fish came and was absolutely lovely; once we received the bill it left a bitter taste in our mouth. The fish was charged by weight and was 80 euros! There was bearly enough fish on the bones for two of us!
We felt the restaurant did everything in the power to con us, simply for the fact that we were tourists. There was no mention of the value prior to ordering. Then when we queried the bill and there seemed to be a smugness in the voice of the maitre d when he said simply that was the price.
Double this with overpriced wines (35 euros for a rather acidic Sardinian wine) and we left thinking what a pity, we really wanted this to be a lovely evening.
