Are there sky-high bills in Venice?

Venice, Italy's "water city", has been frequently exposed to hotel cheating recently. British media reported on June 2nd1Sunday that a group of Japanese tourists ordered three steaks and a plate of fried fish in a restaurant on June 2nd19th, and were offered 1 100 euros.

It is reported that a group of Japanese students studying in Italy ordered three steaks and a plate of fried fish in a restaurant next to St. Kyle's Square in downtown Venice on June 19. After they finished eating mineral water, they actually received a bill of 1 100 euros.

These students later reported to the police, but the owner of the restaurant said he didn't remember having any problems with them.

The report quoted a spokesman for a local non-governmental organization in Venice as saying: "This is just the latest example of many similar cases."

The spokesman also said that among the Japanese tourists who were "pitted" this time, three women ate three plates of spaghetti in another restaurant in Venice and were charged 350 euros.

Venice is a famous historical and cultural city, and its architecture, painting, sculpture and opera enjoy an important position in the world. Venice has always been one of the favorite destinations for China tourists to travel to Italy. Recently, when the reporter was on a business trip in Venice, he saw China tourists with local accents all over the streets. At breakfast, there are even more oriental faces in the hotel restaurant than "foreigners".

However, it is this beautiful water city with many historical sites that has appeared in the English media more than once on suspicion of "cheating customers".

2017110/0 In October, a teacher from the University of Birmingham in England wrote to the mayor of Venice and Italian media about the "sky-high seafood", which attracted many British media reports: after the teacher and his 70-year-old parents enjoyed 20 servings of oysters, cuttlefish pasta, grilled fish and lobster, they found that the bill was as high as 526 euros.

To add fuel to the fire, some words used by the mayor of Venice in response to this incident seemed rude: "They didn't even tip. If you come to Venice, you have to spend some money. You are welcome to come, but it costs money. "

This immediately caused a lot of anger and ridicule in the English media. The title of the report is "The mayor is proud that the restaurant killed the cheapskate tourists". At the beginning of the report, it was full of irony and criticism: "Welcome to the city that killed you-and it won't even be embarrassed by killing customers."

According to the report, this "high-priced seafood" case is the second suspected "derailment" news in Venice in two days. Previously, a Japanese couple had an argument with a restaurant because a lobster spaghetti was charged 120 euros. With the help of other diners, the restaurant finally agreed to give them a 60% discount.

20 18 Venice carnival will be held in late October of 18 10. local NGOs are worried that there will be more and more similar "cheating" scandals, and they are going to set up a hotline to help tourists. In addition, when choosing a restaurant, visitors can also check the review records of past diners on the restaurant review website: on a well-known review website, the restaurant with a price of 1 100 euros was rated as "terrible" by 89% of diners.
