Although, it is simple, it feels very calm and relaxing to be in there. My mom and I enjoyed the house wine they had, my sisters really liked the pizza and french fries , my parents and I had the course meals, spaghetti, chicken and fries, etc, and it was really good. This place deserves more credit. We preferred sitting inside because there were mosquitos outside & smokers. It can be a bit roomy but it was not too bad.

Okay, I'll admit it. Even Venice has places that are less than stellar. Right, I get that if this…read morewas in your home town it would probably get just 2 stars. Chen Zi Fu is okay as far as it goes, but the outdoor seating isn't set up for decent people watching. There's nothing to be done about that as the street where Chen is located is simply too narrow to provide good site lines. The service was a bit surly, the wine below average, and the intimacy factor completely lacking. I'd have kept on hoofing along, but it was time to sit a bit. Get some gelato and sit on a curb in the square just down the street for people watching. You can do better than this place in Cannaregio.

There is only outside seating at this restaurant so if it looks full, then it is probably full. There is also only one waiter so service was a bit slow, but you can use that time to take in Venice and its surroundings. The pizza oven is located behind the front window so you can watch them make the pizza. I ordered the Vienne pizza (tomato, mozzarella, and frankfurt) and it fills up the entire plate. Not as heavy as American pizza, I definitely prefer the original Italian pizza for its taste and softer, thinner crust. There is a 12% service charge and 1 liter water costs 3.50 euros. The pizza was 9 euros, which seems quite standard around Venice since it is a tourist trap and everything is just overly expensive.

The menu is varied and we all got different dishes (sorry I forgot the photos! I was pretty tired and hungry). Everyone agreed the food was good and the men were happy with the size of their beer! The outdoor seating on the Grand Canal, across from the Venice St. Lucia station is lovely and very convenient whether you are arriving or departing. This is a great place to get a bite to eat when spending a day in Venice.

On a very hot…read moreVenetian day, we were lured inside by a very charismatic host and the promise of great food and working air conditioning. All of those points ended up being true! They don't just have AC, it actually works, and is set to a temp where you can feel some difference. Inside is very nicely appointed, cozy but not so much that you are falling ontop of other people. The kitchen has delicious smells from it, and the staff is attentive with excellent recommendations. We got started with a round of various spritz, I went with a campari and my sis got the Aperol. These were very generous pours and ice cold. Super refreshing after our hot travel day. We decided on burrata as an appetizer, and this was easily the best burrata we have made, which makes some sense... it was our first burrata outside the U.S. For lunch, it was pizzas and pastas all around, no surprise there. All things ordered were superb, particularly the pesto pasta and the pizza with fresh mozz, sundried tomatoes, and prosciutto. I am certain whatever you order will be made very well. Prices here were very competitive with other places in the area, and the restaurant itself is located in a lovely square where there was a neighborhood festival being set up. If there were not so many restuarants to explore, we would have definitely dined here again.

Pasta was beautifully made with a great structure and frame. Coming along with this dish came a perfect ratio of meats to sauce to pasta. 9.45/10 pasta. Pizza had a good structure with a circular frame and few air bubbles. Great crust. The cheese was good and well spread with good sauce. Overall I would give this an 8.2/10. Highly recommended good restaurant.

I have never met such bad service in my life, as they even tried to trick us into paying for an appetizer that was more expensive than the entrees we even ordered. I heard him scam another group, giving the impression that it was free. He asked us if we wanted water, to which we responded, no, as we had ordered other drinks already. He then told us they have to sell water, and it was a requirement with the meal. They even tried telling another group that an appetizer was required! The food was ok but the portions were small for the price and the drinks were not worth the money or time. I would recommend another restaurant as you, like us, are probably here for a nice vacation, and there are so many other restaurant that are delicious!
