Nidaba - MONTEBELLUNA

It's something like 25 years I know Nidaba. Their well sorted beer list is very well known and they keep on adding new purposals. Same for the food list. Very good service and good food. I reccomend it.

We were fooled by the many positive comments and hype surrounding this 'trendy ' place. It turned out to be a huge disappointment. Unwelcoming owners with grumpy faces looked us up and down as if to check if we were 'suitable ' for their premises. The waiters would not crack a smile if you tickled them. Fancy-sounding dishes on the menu were poor in both quantity, quality and taste. The chicken starter, for example, was paper thin, rock hard and all you could taste was the breadcrums it had been fried in (from frozen). The beer was nothing special. A tiny portion of cheesy-yoghurty nibble was brought to the table without asking if we wanted them, and was then added as an extra to the bill. Even ketchup and mayonnaise were charged as extras! Ridiculous prices for very undeserving food and service. It is clear that Italians tend to favour places from recommendations irrespective of quality, applying the 'if it 's expensive it must be good ' rule. You have been warned.

My husband had better luck that I did, unfortunately. I ordered meat for my main meal and I had a real fight to cut it and then chew it .... the meat was so tough one could almost say it was awful. The sauce was a powder sauce and not that nice. I didn 't want a huge helping of pasta for the first course so the waiter offered a half portion but the bill showed a full portion. I suppose I am spoilt as my husband is a cook so know how meat and sauces should taste. Anyway, I wouldn 't recommend it whatsoever, especially as it 's mainly a 'beer and whiskey ' restaurant and had only 1 red wine to offer (no white wine) and this wasn 't the best either.

Veramente competente, una selezione di birre molto interessanti, un clima piacevolmente sereno

Semplicemente eccellente: ottima cucina, servizio sempre attento e puntuale, e la bevanda di altissimo livello. consigliato sia per l'inverno che per l'estate, nel meraviglioso giardino esterno. due spuntini per la fine della serata: Caffè Nidaba e whiskey favoloso......e dalla collezione!
