"Although cafe venetia is one of the rare places open past 9pm in the Bay Area, there is a significant issue with the service. I have rarely seen such slow and oblivious staff. It is as if they are floating in the stars and not present at the cafe. The drinks are slightly expensive, and I would completely understand charging a premium if the quality of the ingredients used was good. The cream inside the chocolate mousse or pudding uses a cream with a vegetable oil base which makes the whole chocolate base undrinkable. At least use high quality dairy! If you are charging a premium and taking pride into the fact that this is an Italian European cafe, I expect a better quality of products to be used."
