Wisteria was the biggest mistake of my visit to Venice and probably the worst place I 've ever eaten considering it was costly and bad. My husband and I made the mistake of selecting the 8 course menu without knowing the kitchen well beforehand since Michelin hasn 't really steered us wrong before. Unfortunately, plates at their best were mediocre and at their worst were textural nightmares. We probably should have known what was to come when entry to the restaurant was so hands off. We actually idled in their transition space with a few other strangers because we were unsure if we were in the right entrance. From my other exp elsewhere, I would expect staff to take action and steer us where needed, esp when more than one person made eye contact with us. But nope, we had to just find our way to their hosting table ourselves. As an aside, another observation while we were eating that surprised me was that staff were not folding napkins after ppl left their tables. I understand this isn 't a rule, but I can 't say I 've ever dined formally and seen it missed before. Once seated orders in, my husband was given an obscenely dusty wine glass. I thought it was a trick of the light until the sommelier poured his wine my husband/I both got to enjoy the halo of flecks and hair that floated on top after settling in. I wanted to tell someone, but my husband already drank some just wanted to let bygones be. I need to note that he had to regularly swirl his wine to mix the countless bits in that kept rising up to stare at us. ️️ The cuttlefish dish with the multiple preparations was something we struggled with. The main plate took serious muscle to cut through, it was like leather. The other preps were varieties of gooey, mushy, and unappetizing. The dessert with the raw shrimp was likewise unappealingly gooey, requiring gulps of water to get down. The red lentil macaroni the pasta in the cuttlefish dish were both surprisingly gummy in texture. The hard and soft lasagna wasn 't that way... But I 'm pretty sure the hard pasta in that plate was a cracker based on taste texture. The smoked baby goat (they just introduced smoke after the cook, from the taste of it) was served with tater tots tarter sauce. Why? For who? Nothing with this plate made any sense to me. All in all, the kitchen 's judgment of textures that they can serve to the public clashed with what I find acceptable. In terms of service, the staff came around very frequently. If you ask, if it was so bad, why didn 't you say something? ... We didn 't have any plates that were outright gross until halfway through. How do you bring that up to staff? In all honesty, I felt like I was losing my mind that staff thought it was okay to serve what they were serving and that everyone was sitting eating the food like nothing was wrong with it. I 'll take responsibility for not saying anything, but stuff went south so badly, we were both struggling to cope just with how much money we spent on bad memories. I 'm not sure if my husband and I were the odd ones out because a lot of ppl around us seemed to be enjoying themselves. Maybe we were just taking crazy pills. Who knows? I personally cannot recommend this restaurant in any way. Food: 1 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 4
