I’m insulted by the price of everything in the menu
If you sit in a restaurant in San Marco it’s completely your own fault.
Oh shit it’s crazy man
This is just a robbery.
You are paying the spot, not the consumables.
TBF, one of the first rules of tourism is “Don’t eat in any restaurant that is less than 500 m away from a touristy spot”
Ah yes, the tourist tax. Many locals around?
Dude, you’re in the main square of Venice, the touristic main nerve of the city and you are shocked by the prices?
It’s as if i was going to order something in central Manhattan
There’s plenty of cheap good quality bars, bacari, cicchetterie and osterie around the city to go to (fave of mine “cicchetteria venexiana da Luca e Fred” near the Santa Lucia train station)
try on restaurant on the tour eiffel next time…
Had a similar reaction in Milan some time ago, 9eur for 2 scoops of icecream (if sitting) less than half to-go…
You are paying for the gorgeous views. They can sell water from washing socks and still cost an arm and a leg.
Imagine being surrounded by … pota poties and screaming children and dirty diapers.
400m further there are small local restaurants where the shop owners and people who work there go to eat, you van have a pizza for less than a water on San Marco …
And thinking they get flooded often and have water for free…
There is supermarket 300m from your exact location cafe Florian I guess 🙂 get some water fom there
You can drink anywhere else for 1/2 euros, no one forced you to sit there. So, blame yourselves. Moreover, you came to Venice to drink water? FFS.
Và ciavarte un spris col campari diodedio.
Why would anyone who doesn’t want to spend a lot of money sit in a Piazza San Marco bar?
You pay for the atmosphere of the environment. At the moment you are not sitting in the middle of a food store.
Should Bacardi Breezers be with the soft drinks? I thought it was alcoholic?
wow, you’re rich /u/ImLooking4aUserName 😀
That’s what happens when the catholic mob takes over.
The restaurants there aren’t only overpriced, they are also shit.
It’s obvious that in touristy spots prices might be higher than elsewhere:) On the other hand – walking around historic Italian cities is worth overpaying for soda 😀 My favorite city is Padova though – I’ve been in Scrovegni Chapel like 5 times and it is always incredible experience, Basilica of St. Anthony is mind blowing(online pics give You maybe 10% of real experience) also the vibe of the city full of students but also very calm is really great.
What is wrong with your thumb???
You know soon it will be free when Venice is underwater. If you’ve got a couple decades to spare, that is.
New Yorkers be like ‘this is what I pay on a street corner in Brooklyn’ 🫥
That’s due to the location.
You can walk a little way further, get a glass a wine and still water for cheaper.
That’s obviously disgustingly expensive but you deserve it for dining at one of the biggest tourist traps in the world. I spent a week in Venice and ate at restaurants frequented mostly by local people and students, and in many cases having a three meal course was cheaper than it’d be on a greek island or Athens.
Same happens to tourists who go to Mykonos and Santorini and get scammed lmao
