I love that this restaurant is open all day. Weekday lunch-time clientele is frequented by the local business people. Great prices and delicious food. Indoor or outdoor seating is available. Group seating can be accommodated in the upstairs loft. Service is friendly but not spot-on...a little patience is required but I would definitely revisit. www.unicoristoranti.it read more

The food presentation, ingredients, and flavors are top-notch! The service was quick, friendly, and quite nice. The restaurant was perfectly arranged, and every table was set and in order. We enjoyed the ambiance and the nice variety of dishes, definitely a place we'll recommend and come back when traveling to Italy. read more

Came in for dinner about 9pm and found a few tables still available ! The food was wonderful from the Diavialo pizza to the sea bass - it hit the spot and dinked with the lemon dolce dessert. Service was great and was not rushed to finish. Will return next trip !!! Bravo Unico ! read more

I couldn't wait to return to our boat to write this so here I am on the Yelp app in middle of Unico to simply say how this is my new favorite restaurant in life. I don't know what it is about "fast casual" in U.S. - Italy just kills us with it's version. Light, flavorful food presented beautifully. There is nothing like it. Unico is perfect. It will take some time to get back to Mestre to enjoy Unico, maybe in my next lifetime (who knows?!), but I'll get here. read more

I came here at 9pm for dinner with two of my friends after touring the town- so we were pretty hungry by that time. Honestly, the reality that the sun doesn't set till 8-9 throws me off and my eating schedule... Cause eating so late and going to sleep soon after doesn't work to well for me. But I guess when you're traveling and touring you just have to go with the flow. So amongst the 3 of us, we shared a pizza, a pasta, and large bowl of mixed salad. Seafood pizza- my first pizza in Italy was amazingly good and refreshing because it reminded me of home... And the mussels and clams are literally placed on top of the pizza like a topping...with the shells still on. It adds a decorative and filling appeal to the meal. It's not like those American pizzas where the crust and bread are thick. This one was perfect and light- thin crust and bread, marinara sauce. No cheese on the pizza either! I would've ordered one for myself if I had known how good it was. Squid ink pasta- it doesn't say 'squid ink' on the menu but rather black pasta. I've tried this unique pasta before while in New Orleans and it was delicious despite the odd color for a pasta so I was open to order it again. Their pasta has bacon and fish bits in a not too creamy sauce but has a texture of the creaminess. If that makes sense.. Haha. But we were all surprisingly surprised by the pasta, not a distinct smell or too fishy. I recommend this!! Mixed salad- it was ok. We just felt that eating some greens would be good for our diet considering the amount of rich and carb heavy food we were consuming. There were little shrimps and artichoke and olives in it which I do not prefer to have so I picked around them. We ordered individual glasses of white wine which costs 4 euros each. It was smooth and pleasant to drink. White wines are my favorites so I was happy buzzed and happy full! Cost- $50 for three ppl with water and coverage charge included. Reasonable. read more

The pizza and wine were very good. The rest was a bit disappointing. The mixed fish was a haphazardly thrown together mix of all types of ocean creatures. The tuna was well overdone, but the sea bass was good. The squid was overdone, and the flavoring in general was lacking. The seafood pasta was not great. The pasta was a bit undercooked, not aldente, but undercooked. Two giant shrimp heads with no tails attached. Maybe for presentation? But mixed into the pasta so they were hidden. The prawn in the dish were way overcooked and mushy. The tomato sauce was ok, not overpowering. I wouldn't go back. read more

Went there for dinner, was a bit disappointed with the quality of the food. The entrée of prosciutto and mozzarella was typical of an Italian restaurant in America. The cheese was not the delicious fresh mozzarella di buffala I was hoping for. The pizza was ok ... not great. Sat on the small terasse. Not much to look at. Staff was courteous but not overly friendly. read more

This restaurant is awful. They defraud the customers, especially the travelers. They recommend lobster spaghetti and grilled fish to us. We ordered just one lobster spaghetti dish (later we knew that normally one lobster spaghetti dish has half lobster) and one grilled fish. However, they served us a complete lobster in just one plate which let us thought it was just one dish. And indeed we just ordered one dish. Until we paid it they told us that is two dishes in one plate. For the grilled fish, they just said that was one grilled fish, however it was a big plate of sea food mix which cost our 80 Euro. And we thought what we ordered was the grilled fish mix on the menu, which is 25 Euro. The 80 Euro plate is not showed on the menu. Their explaintion was that they served us a plate for 3 people and per person is 25 Euro. Even that it should be 75 Euro. And for the extra 5 Euro they gave the explanation that is the vegitable in the plate. It was rediculous! The most rediculous thing is when we order the dishes, they speak fluent English. However when we asked why they served us much more than we orders, they pretended they could not understand English and began to speak Italian! And at last they agreed to give us a discount, but cash only. What a non-standarded restaurant! And they cheating the customers with a very unpolited attitude! read more

Been there one night a few weeks ago when my wife was too tired to go and preferred to stay at the hotel and have me bring her some pizza. Sevice was a bit too slow (although courteous) but very good pizza indeed with one of the softest mozzarellas I have ever had ("fior di latte" type) and a delicious tomato sauce. The waitress was very accommodating and even encouraged me a customize the ingredients to meet my wife's preferences and this ended up working pretty well. I had a sliced chicken breast with some brownish sauce served on top of thin-sliced al dente veggies that was quite ok, although not marvelous. They made a mistake on charging for two "services" (basket of bread) at the bill but the waitress evened it out on the spot so I was immediately ready to leave with a very warm pizza on my takeaway box. I plan to return there with my wife to check it out. read more

At first I was impressed but as the evening continued I realized the management was having some real issues (Speaking rude to staff in front of customers)! Than as it was time to pay the bill I was told I had failed to pay. I clearly had placed 2 twenty euro notes on the counter. They insisted I did not and would call the police if I refused to pay. Now, obviously upset I pay this time with my card. When I got back to my hotel room to cancel my card I discovered not only did they charge the €40 but an additional €16 as well. Save yourself the trouble... go elsewhere! ZERO STARS!!! read more

Ann and Rick: Our last night in Italy. Found Unico on Yelp. Great looking place with great reviews. We found the food good but service felt almost rude and arrogant. We've had such wonderful people, willing to help, up until now. read more
