Albergo Italia

A cosy room at a fair price, in a nice location. Shops and restaurants are within walking distance, and the people here are lovely.

We stayed one night after visiting the Valli di pesca, then went to one of the Po River Delta parks the next morning. The hotel was conveniently placed for both. I wish we'd brought bikes, since it's near a scenic cycling route and even has electric bike chargers. Our room was simple, cosy, and very nice. The restaurant was a lovely surprise: kind staff, gluten-sensitive diners were accommodated, and the local food was delicious. The cozze were among the best we've had, even living in Venice. We'd never tried fried eel before, and we both loved it. Thanks, we'd highly recommend eating here if you're in the area.

The hotel is great for the money, with clean rooms and a good bed. I'd stay again, but eat somewhere else, or perhaps try the pizza. The restaurant seems popular with locals, so a reservation is probably needed. I went in with high expectations from the reviews, but was disappointed. I was handed an outdated English menu and only realized after ordering that others had a special menu, available only in Italian. My food was bland and uninspired, and I had to ask for a lemon wedge with the fried eel. The prices also felt high for what I got. The pizzas looked good, and people kept coming to pick them up to eat at home. It felt like the attention was on local customers. The coffee was great, with some interesting options, and there's a small shop selling local products, especially rice, at friendly prices. The staff, apart from the woman who helped me check in, spoke no English and could have smiled more. She tried hard, succeeded, and was the only person who smiled at me. Breakfast was uninspired too.

Restaurant only: I really enjoyed the branzino, it was tasty, and everyone else liked what they ordered too.
