Must experience when in Venice! - I was very apprehensive at first from reading some reviews. But we were very very pleasantly surprised! Everything was amazing . It was quieter than we expected but since it was the first day after the carnival it was understandable. They were more than made up for it with free flieing Presseco on arrival. Amazing artist with a wide range of acts. The food was ok as it was different to the menu we thought we were getting but that did not hinder our evening . We had a beyond expectation experience and amazing value. Thank you.

Must-see show! - We had a wonderful night at the Cabaret! The staff was fantastic and welcoming from the moment we arrived, just 10 minutes after the doors opened. From start to finish, everything was top-notch. The food was very good, and the talent on stage was unbeatable, truly an incredible show. If you’re in Venice, I highly recommend taking a quick trip to see this fabulous entertainment. Don’t miss it!

Super! - Negative premise. On the evening I was there, we were in 8 diners in all.... unexplained. The place is nice... a bit "tacky", but nice. The dishes were many and very good. Despite the few people, the show was superb. Singer, pianist, dancers... really good. Very professional waiting staff. I hope this place can have the success it deserves.

Not to be missed - An incredible experience well worth your time. Fantastic food and the ambiance is so detailed it's a feast for your eyes. The performers came out into the crowd and did their act just feet away. You should make time for this show whenever you are in Venice.

Ok - Team could not do enough for you we arrived early as we was staying in central Venice but the venue is located in the middle of nowhere- the manager then drove us to a local shopping mall and picked us up when it was time , there was only 6 people who had dinner and the room was empty but the performers still give there all. Food was not great and you could only drink your free wine even if you wanted to pay for a drink . Several times my partner asked to order a drink but was told no until they realised we was getting really agitated. It started very late, later than advertised we had to leave before it finished because we had to get back. It’s £40 for a cab one way back to the port to get back to Venice so add this as an extra expense. It was an ok night but not worth the money it costs.

Avoid: Poor Food and Unauthentic Experience - The venue is located in the middle of nowhere. My sister and I traveled alone from Venice, which felt a bit unsafe, and on top of that we had to spend around €70 on taxis. I am honestly shocked by the positive reviews, especially regarding the food. This was the worst dinner I’ve ever had. The food was completely inedible — poor flavor, terrible presentation — and we sent almost everything back. A huge disappointment and a bad representation of Italian cuisine. The performers were talented and had good energy, but when attending a cabaret show in Venice, you expect something authentically Italian. Instead, we got English covers and even a Michael Jackson tribute, which felt completely out of place. The seating arrangement also makes it uncomfortable to enjoy the show, especially if you’re seated with your back to the runway. Overall, this experience is not worth the money — not for the food, not for the show, and not for the comfort. I do not recommend this event at all.
