    This place used to be good but it went downhill. Food was bland and they served us burnt cookies which took a really long time to get. The server had an " I don't care attitude". We will not be going back!
    Cafe Gratitude - VeniceResponded on November 24, 2024
    Thanks for visiting us, Kristen. We are truly sorry to hear that your recent experience did not meet your expectations. We have high standards both for our food and service, and it's disappointing to hear that we fell short on this occasion. We also regret to hear about the issues you had with the timing of the food and the attitude of our server. We value your feedback and will certainly use it to improve for our future guests. We hope you will reconsider and give us another chance to serve you better. Sincerely, Nathan

    Cafe Gratitude in Venice is open, airy and spacious with a nice outdoor space. Our waitress unfortunately was slow and seemed distracted and so drinks arrived late and food arrival was ok but the happy hour menu has minimal choices with too much bread and carbs. I am a questioning meat-eater who is testing the vegan waters and, honestly, this experience diminished my desire to try a no-animal protein vegetarian diet...oh well!
