Only 10 minutes away from the magnificent city of Venice, in an equally unique and magical location, Avanspettacolo presents the first Italian Dinner Show, a mesmerising experience introduced for the first time in Italy by Avanspettacolo. The excellence of international cuisine combined with the amazing Grand Show Magic inside the sumptuous Theatre Hall, embellished with antique statues, fine drapery and Venetian chandeliers, will make Your stay in Venice unforgettable. From 8 pm to 9 pm take part in the Welcome Cocktail in the Foyer, accompanied by the classical notes played by our master pianist. From 9 pm on taste the Gala Dinner and admire the Grand Show Magic performances inside the Theatre Hall! You can choose among three refined menus for the Gala Dinner: Landfare, Seafood or Vegetarian. All of them include a series of starters, first course, second course, dessert, coffee, water and ½ bottle of wine. But let's get to the gem of Avanspettacolo: the international variety Grand Show Magic lasting two and a half hours and being performed during dinner. A professional artistic cast including our showman, the female voice Miss Melody, the master pianist, the acrobat and contorsionist performer and our dancing crew, please our guests with their amazing acts in a Cabaret “old fashioned” style, tastefully choreographed and suitable to all ages. Musicals, cabaret and international performers for a special evening to be remembered! Avanspettacolo, light up the night that magical will shine!
I was very disappointed when we figured out this was not actually in Venice. We had to take taxi from the bus station to the show €40 each way! Show was ok. Food could have been a lot better. For what we paid I was definitely expecting more
The show was very interesting except the overall cost which dampened it. The cost for the show with food is fine. Food was ok ok. Can be better. But a disclaimer needs to be added while booking that the cost of transport from Venice may be more than the show. Specially, since the show ends at midnight.
It was a great show with talented performers. The music and singing was great. The severs were very attentive.
Great show, amazing acrobatics and singers in many languages. Food good, risotto a bit hard. Recommended!
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.
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.
Amazing family friendly food it’s great and perfect preference recommended must go and see! Thank you
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!
The performers were outstanding. Thoroughly enjoyed the night. It was a shame that there weren't more people there. It was great value, and our whole family had a great night. Thank you!
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.
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.
Absolutely fabulous evening,food and drink was excellent and the entertainment was fantastic. Well worth 100 each. Woukd definitely fo back agin
My wife and I had much pleasure enjoying the dinner show. Everything was wonderful, the shuttle service, the reception, romantic settings, the food, the show, singers, dancers, charming, flexible, full of energy. Everything was done very beautifully and professionally leaving us inspired and at awe of some of the dancing and acrobatic feats performed, the unique voices of the singers and the refined, delicious meals. I would advise to come hungry unless you can eat more than an average person. We left quite full and it would be a shame to waste those delicious dishes. IMO very fairly priced and the experience is rather unique so it was absolutely worth it. Gratitude and best wishes to all the performers and the stuff! Alex and Nika
It was a wonderful experience that captivated my senses. It was an entertaining variety show, with great dancers/entertainers and the singers had a great voice. We were staying in the Rialto bridge area, so I contacted tripadvisor after not hearing back. I contacted the venue, about transportation to the venue, since the venue is on the mainland. They were kind to arrange transportation to and from the venue, for a fee. It was convenient to have peace of mind and enjoy the dinner show, and not worry on how to get back to the hotel afterwards. The food was delicious! Wvwry interaction with staff members was a pleasant one. Excellent customer service!!
Please bear in mind if you're staying in Venice even though it's only 10 minutes to the show on the mainland it will cost you €90 round trip in a taxi, it is in a very industrial area with no facilities around if you get there early. The welcome cocktail is a small glass or procecco or fruit juice, there was no grand magic show at all, no coffee or tea, the staff were so busy bringing out the excellent food that they didn't have time to take drink orders, so everyone was sitting around with empty glasses all night and it was only 25% full, when I did go to the bar and order it didn't arrive, there was also little or no air conditioning and as it was 30 degrees outside it was uncomfortable for everyone. On the plus side the singers and dancers were fantastic, it's a shame but a couple of touches like a shuttle service could have made this a magical experience.
We had the most horrific experience and the venue refused to refund money. Please heed this warning: It will take 1.5 hours and at least $50 each way using the slowest public transportation. The day we had booked this experience the water taxis had gone on strike. Upon contacting the venue to let them know we couldn't arrive in time, the EXTREMELY RUDE woman suggested that I should have been checking the local news and left earlier. ON MY VACATION. Then suggested that there are private water taxis (which we already checked -- all were occupied because of the strike not to mention $90 each way) Then suggested we should start walking (6 of us dressed up and 2 small children) to a meeting point 45 min away. With no suggestion of how we might return at midnight. Refused to refund while knowing it was completely beyond our control. Not only wasted hours of our short time in Venice, we were treated very poorly and wasted $600. Harsh. STAY AWAY!
It’s a great show. It’s Worthing coming to see it. The dinner really good too. We really enjoyed the show.
It was typical touristic show, but what was unexpected: Broadway-clone, not Italian at all (except dancers and the place). I came in just in time, but the small hall was already overcrowded and no indications shere to leave the coat and where to check-in, not mentioning about the rest room.. Check-in was a disaster, as the only way to check who-is-who were the old-fashioned process of searching for the names through the few paper pages (no 21-t century code scanning, ecc.). After that the glasses for the welcome drink were finished, so skipped this phase. Note that check-in process you cannot bypass: you need your table number! Once in the main hall, it was very hot, so everybody dressed in old-fashioned style (18 century) were very disadvantaged! Places/tables are very close to each other and looked very similar to the Munich October beer fest: maximum extraction from each sq.meter. Show started 21:50 (20 min.delay): the afro-american singer as well as the dancing group were really good, but cannot overcome the whole lack of Italian creativity and taste or good regie! Food was according to the expectations, but was not asked about vegetarian option (ate what was delivered). Additional water arrived 40 min. later after few notes - waiters are really trying to do their best, but they are overbusy! No choice of vine: just red or white! After one hour more of Broadway i left; pls. note that at midnight - allow 10-15 min. for cab to arrive! Personnal was very helpful, otherwise .. You can go, if can afford the budget for American culture clone in the heart of Itsly!
The venue is in a rather ominous area located within an industrial estate, was welcomed with a few drinks, it was just my girlfriend and I which was a strange sensation to have a show performed just for you, the show was very entertaining, credit is due there, however the food was some what lacking unfortunately, not sure if this was an off day or not but the quality of the food did let the experience down.
Had a one night stop over on venice before we went on a 7 night mediterranean cruise and decided to buy tickets to the dinner show. I cant even describe how great this night was. The venue was quiet but with amazing food, excellent staff and brilliant entertainment it is impossible not to have a great time. We havent started the cruise and are already thinking we've had our best night away! I cannot recommend this venue highly enough :)
<p>Caberet style was very entertaining, some great performers. Expensive to get taxi there, but they have a shuttle to drop you back to the station, very much appreciated as it finishes after midnight and I dread to think of the taxi cost at that time! Very helpful and attentive team looking after you.</p>
A spectacular cabaret show with amazing ballerinas, tourists, singers and piano players. Great food and excellent service. Recommended on the strongest
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.
Very nice experience, very special framework. Varied show with song, dance, acrobatics. Dinner with several courses, not spectacular but good quality.
lo spettacolo è stato molto bello e vario.. bravi i ballerini e i cantanti molto disponibili e simpatici. Camerieri gentili e staff grande!
Beautiful show, all the wonderful cast, we had a great time, delicious dinner. We absolutely recommend this experience, a must try, we will definitely be back as soon as possible!!! Thank you!!!!
Es war so ein geniales Erlebnis! Tolle Sängern, TänzerInnen, leckeres Essen, freundlichen Personal! Vielen herzlichen Dank für den unvergesslichen Abend!
The environment creates a magical experience. The show is beautiful. Singers have a wonderful voice a unique skill. The corps de ballet good and ballets with attention to detail. Good food
Absolument magnifique; Il est vrai que le cabaret est un peu excentré mais cela vaut véritablement la peine de faire l effort d'y aller ne serait ce que pour les encourager (situation COVID). Le repas a été fin et vraiment copieux, le tout accompagné d un fabuleux pianiste, de chanteurs tels que nous aimerions entendre plus fréquemment, costumes danseuses tout y était, une soirée vraiment magique, merci à vous
Magnifique soirée de noël, nous avons été émerveillés tant par le spectacle que le repas. Les artistes sont de qualité. Le pianiste et les chanteurs vous transportent. Nous avons copieusement dîné. Excellent rapport qualité prix.
Sea menu really excellent, I highly recommend! For the show, the actors make you spend a golden moment! The saxophonist is just amazing and the singer does not talk about it, a beautiful voice!
Following my brother's wedding, we had a great family evening in this cabaret. Meals and quality show. Very welcoming and friendly staff. Incredible pianists accompany the meal and shows. Must do, during a visit to Venice.
