Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Had a meal here as staying at hotel plaza. Service was quick and attentive.
Food was delicious. We had a meal on Murano island the next day and the food here was actually much better.
2 people, 2 glasses of wine, bottle of water, sea bass main, beef main & 2 tiramisu - around €65
I believe it has a coffee area and there’s lots of deserts to chose from on display.

I lived close to this restaurant for five months, which is why I went there at least twice a month for dinner. The service is very friendly, the price for the location absolutely okay. I liked the ambience and what I enjoyed most it that it is a type of restaurant where you can eat by yourself as well without being looked at weirdly. I took family and friends there as well when they visited, and all of them loved it as well.
The food is incredible. I personally stuck to pasta for most of the time and it was some of the best I've ever eaten, especially the Carbonara was a dream. The wine card is also big and you get to taste the wine when ordering to decide if it's too your liking. I definitely recommend this restaurant, and I know that I'll be back if I end up visiting Mestre again!

Returned back to hotel next door late this Monday night from visiting Venice and didn't fancy walking around trying to find somewhere to eat so called in here and asked to look at the menu before committing ourselves to sitting down. Quick browse through limited menu but it also had photos of the dishes and they all looked great and well priced so asked for a table for two. had to order sharpish as kitchen was nearly closing as it was late. I went for the Calimari which was absolutely amazing and a fantastic portion as well and could have almost even been picture perfect from the menu. (my photos dont do it any justice but trust me). My wifes Carbonara was without doubt the best portion size we have ever been served in an Italian restaurant and coul have fed three of us needless to say she didnt finish hers but was gob smacked at the quality. Just proves looks can be deceiving from the outside and it proved us wrong tonight by going in. Fantastic food and very helpful staff. Grazie

We went in for a quiet romantic meal as the place looked clean and modern, we asked for two beers to start off with. The beers came with black stuff floating in them which looked like they had just cleaned the pipes and not pulled all the dirty beer through. The waiter was lovely and when we pointed out the dirty beers he replaced them. Then the waitress came over and took our orders, she was rushing and wasn’t actually listening to us. When I asked for a Beef Fillet she had to look at the menu and I had to point out the dish which was called “beef fillet”. She was quite rude and abrupt. In total we ordered a starter to share and two main dishes which isn’t a complicated order. The starter came and my boyfriends main dish came aswell. The mozzarella on the starter was bland but the ham was nice. My boyfriend ordered a spaghetti bolognaise which was bland and stodgy the only thing you could taste was the celery so he had to use a lot of Parmesan cheese to eat it. After 20 minutes my main dish arrived which was the beef fillet, for some reason there was some ready salted crisps with some oven wedges that were not seasoned. The steak was amazing (I wasn’t asked how I like my steak cooked, luckily I like mine medium rare so when it came bloody I didn’t mind).
All in all a bit of a shamble and we ended up paying 61 euros for it which is stupid, we were given bread that turned out to be 4 euros and were charged for service when a lot of things went wrong.
Even though the waiter was lovely, if you are eating round there I would recommend going to the McDonalds in the train station.

Went there hoping to find a good dinner and ordered a beef filet. I prefer a classic medium cooked steaks so I told to a waiter about that.
When I got my order I realized that it’s cooked maximum medium rare which I simply don’t like. Waiter asked me if I would like to change it so I agreed obviously. Few minutes later I received same piece of meet completely dry. They just fried it to well done level.
When I asked if it’s possible to order something more Italian since the chef is struggling with meat she said the kitchen is closed now (another customer just made an order a minute ago). So I just left hungry.
I paid for a glass of wine and bottle of water which I just made a sip from. Also 2 eur for this “fantastic” service. At least they didn’t ask money for beef filet.

We were looking forward to visiting as we enjoyed a previous experience a few years ago. My advice is to find somewhere else. The waiting staff were rude and inattentive; they were unwilling to answer a question about portion sizes, stating that one plate is for one person (without knowing the customer, how would they know? Additionally, the portion sizes were much larger than the recommended healthy allowances). The waiting staff did not check in with us; at the end of the meal when we were able to get their attention for the bill and to collect our plates they did not bother to ask why two of our plates were more than half full. We were very much looking forward to dessert but noped out of there as soon as we could. Will not recommend to anyone.

A decent place to have a quick bite and a caffeine fix in otherwise quite horrible Mestre. Its location next to the bus/train stations is its main selling point. However, that comes with steep prices and somewhat passive-agressive staff that's not too fond of customers staying longer than it takes to finish their food/beverages.

On my first day in town, the restraunt was walkable from the hotel and one of the few places werein there was no wait time. But thats about it. The food portion was not filling i thought, pricing was on a higher side - not really worth it. For 2 dishes and a coffee ended up paying bout 40 euros, my friends who avoided the place being vegetarians had pizza , pasta and ice cream at a nearby small eatery for 15 euros

Good, tasty Italian food served with friendliness and speed. Located right across the street from the Mestre railway station it is easy to find. The spaghetti alla busera can be recommended as well as the steak which was tender and cooked just right. The cheese cake is good but not quite as good as a New York cheese cake. The espresso is excellent.

Food was not good. A lot of fat on the beef. There was a communication problem with the waitress who did not listen to our requests she kept interrupting us saying she understood when she didn’t! There were 6 of us. Three ordered starters (first course) and we all ordered a main course (second course). We told her to bring the three 1st courses and then when eaten to bring six 2nd courses but she insisted on bringing the three 1st courses together with three 2nd courses for the non-starter eaters. We sent these away telling her we wanted all six 2nd courses together. She couldn’t understand why the non first course eaters wanted to wait so we could all eat our second courses together.

Near the train station, a coffee shop that serves some really good coffee.
However, one thing to be aware of is that there's a 50 cent charge per item between 10 am and 11 pm. This means that if you're buying multiple items, like a coffee and a pastry, you'll be charged an additional 50 cents for each item. While this isn't a huge amount of money, it's worth keeping in mind if you're on a tight budget.
Overall, I'd say that this coffee shop is definitely worth a visit if you're in the area and in need of a caffeine fix. Just be mindful of the extra charges during certain hours.

Thank you for your feedback.
We are really happy you loved our coffee!
There is a +0.50 cent charge per item actually; even if we already have highlight it on the menu, we are going to think a better way to communicate it.
We really hope to welcome you again here at Soul Kitchen Cafè.

Went just before midday but sat in the “restaurant” I use that term loosely as there is no clear delineation between breakfast and lunch seating areas.
Staff ignored us so I underestimated and brought a tray back to our table from the breakfast counter.
The waiter ignored me again so I got up and got some glasses.
Another waiter then seemed to notice me and told me not to touch things.
I spoke to them and asked why they were being so rude. The head guy said the area we were sitting in was a restaurant and that it didn’t open until 12 noon. It was 5 minutes to 12.
I said, so why not explain that when we say down.
Finally they relented and as it was midday they took our order.
A reheated lasagne, (microwaved, cold in the middle, a carbonara and a spaghetti with a tomato based source.
Took a few bites, then just left.
I get that they are across the road from Mestre train station and that should tell you everything about the quality of both service and food but, live and learn I guess 1 star!

"I am still fantasizing about service and great atmosphere and friendly environment!!! We also make a good friend.
The food is really outstanding! Every meal we had was full of flavor and cooked to perfection. Some of the most delicious food I've eaten lately! They utilize only the freshest ingredients and ensure that each dish is properly prepared. The food was very memorable. "Must try!"
"From appetizers to sweets, this restaurant well surpassed our expectations! Our family really liked the appetizers, the selection of sweets, pastas.

coffee was good, but the schiacciata with tuna was terrible. i wouldn’t have paid 6,- for it if i knew what i’d get. it’s was plain and there was barely any tuna on it and the onions tasted like salty carton. i wouldn’t recommend. place looks nice though.
