 I have been meaning to thank you for a wonderful evening. On September 19,
1997 my wife and I and four other friends ate at your restaurant. 
You may remember that you treated us to a round of prosecco as we were the
first to make reservations via the internet.
We had a marvelous time that night. The ambiance of your restaurant, the
food, the service, the flowers -- all worked together to make an
unforgettable night for all six of us. We can't wait to get back to Venice
to eat at Antico Martini.
Please accept out heartfelt thanks for a lovely evening.
And just so you will know, your web site is one of the finest I have seen,
particularly for a restaurant. The music that I hear as I enter your site
is beautiful. And the contents of your site are very informative and bring
back fond memories. Keep up the good work.
Steve Burkett (February 16, 1998)
 

Congratulations for the beautiful homepage and the initiative for
rebuilding La Fenice Theater .

Certainly I´ll never forget one night me and my wife dined at Antico
Martini after an opera in La Fenice. This night will be forever in our minds. We will be back.

Please let me know how can I make some money transfer for La Fenice
rebuilding fund and give me some information about the stage of the
rebuilding works .

Thank you.

Antonio Carlos (September 14, 1997)

 

Our evening with you March 12 was successful in every respect. As I
predicted, all our participants found it the absolute peak of our
five-day stay in Venice. I cannot thank you enough for putting on
such a fine feast, and doing it so finely! I love the style of the
Antico Martini--elegant, but laid back.

Now I am wondering whether you would be able to reserve places for
eight people for dinner on December 31 of 1999. This will be a group
of people coming to Venice for a wedding, and I want them also to
enjoy the best of Venice.

David Greene (March 23, 1998)

 

Great looking and very helpful site, found via geoeurope.guide, you should have more Venice links so that search engines find you easily.

I am hoping to eat at your restaurant next week!!

Gerald Epstein (April 25, 1998)

 

Thank you for a wonderful evening Saturday, May 2nd., we hope to return in October

Gerald Epstein (May 6, 1998)

 

 

E' uno splendido sito internet, le ricette sembrano ottime; penso che presto sarò vostro ospite a Venezia.

Auguri !!!

Signor Baldi:

Our wonderful European vacation has come to an end, and I just wanted to send you a short note to say thank you, once again, for the fantastic dinner we enjoyed at your restaurant on June 12. The children were especially thrilled that you took the time to sign their menus.

If there is any opportunity to include Venezia in our future plans, you can be sure that I will be delighted to include Antico Martini on the itinerary!

Best wishes,

Rex Bickers (June 26, 1998)

 

I just saw your web site and become so excited. We were at Antico Martini
June 11. Your music on the web is wonderful. Thank you so much for the
wonderful memories on two occasions.

Mrs.. Peter Keady (July 23, 1998)

 

John and I would like to again extend our warmest thanks for your
hospitality. It was a wonderful dining experience. Your establishment
is indeed as lovely as you indicated on your website. I will visit that site
often and re-live our pleasant moments at your restaruant. It was truly
one of the highlights of our tour of Italy. We hope to visit you again very soon.

Hi there,
Just found your fabulous web site. It's quite complex and well done, especially for a restaurant. I'm intrigued and would like to visit your restaurant while in Venice in March.

Caro Sig. Baldi,

Navigando vi ho incontrati in internet, così mi sarà possibile continuare a frequentare il Martini, parte della mia vita, anche virtualmente.

Saluti e a presto

Dear Emilio,

It was a pleasure to meet you and your son on March 13th. We all
had a fabulous time celebrating my sister Blythe's 40th birthday at
Antico Martini. Your restaurant is lovely, and our meal was ultra-delicious
and graciously served by your handsome and skillful waiters.
We loved the truffle puffs.

Thanks again for being part of the wonderful memories of our trip to
Venezia.

Sincerely,

Clare Gard (March 23, 1999)

 

Dear Emilio

Sorry it has taken so long to write you this short note but the honeymoon was extended and we have only been home for a few weeks.

Well.......'Wedding of the Year'..............what can I say but a huge thank you to yourself and all your staff for making our day so fantastic. I do not think we will ever experience such a day again. Everyone of the guests had nothing but praise for your restaurant, the food and the staff. Everything was fantastic we could not have dreamed about how utterly superb everything was at Antico Martini. Please thank all your staff for their help throughout the evening I hope they will remember us for a while. Please enter this message onto the Web Site so others may see that there is really only one Venue for a Wedding - Antico Martini VeniceItaly!!!!!!!!!!

Four of us were at Antico Martini on June 23,1999. We ate a late dinner and enjoyed superior service. The sea bass with fennel is terrific. My wife and I dine regularly in San Francisco and this restaurant would get a three to four star rating in the SF. Elliot K. Sevier, Rancho Murieta. Calif. USA

I was thrilled to get your Christmas greetings and after visiting your website, which is terrific, I just had to send you a message and say 'Hello'. It is like having a little piece of Venice in my own home.

Hope I may visit this year.

Dear Mr. Baldi,

It was good to be at Antico Martini again.  The children thought your food
was the best in Italy.  I thought you may like to hear the comments.  The
service was excellent as always.

Until next time, be well.

We spent our last night in Venice at your wonderful restaurant and have very
fond memories of the food and perfect service.  It is our favorite stop when
we are there!  We are coming back to your beautiful city in early December
2000 and will make sure to enjoy your glorious restaurant again!

Gentile Sig. Baldi,

abbiamo visitato il suo locale, come da prenotazione,  domenica 4 giugno.
Unico commento: FAVOLOSO !!!!!!!
Locali bellissimi, piatti eccellenti, servizio impeccabile.
A ciò si aggiungono le ulteriori attenzioni a noi riservate da parte di suo
padre, persona veramente squisita. In sostanza nessuna promessa è rimasta
disattesa.
Non ci resta che attendere il prossimo viaggio nell'incantevole Venezia per
venirvi nuovamente a trovare.
A presto,

          Eugenio e Donatella.(June 25, 2000)


My husband and I had dinner at your restaurant on July 13 for our
wedding anniversary.  I just wanted to thank you for providing a

know.

Thanks Again,

I just wanted to say THANK YOU so much for the wonderful dinnner my husband

looking forward to visit your restaurant again!!

Regards,

Maria Miranda (October 26, 2000)



Il 23 di ottobre 2000 per noi era un' occasione molto particolare. Siamo venuti da Olanda per festeggiare il compleanno del nostro amico Tito Calafiore di Brescia

e cercando un ristorante adatto per quest'occasione stavamo pensando subito al vostro bellissimo e favoloso ristorante, dove due volte prima abbiamo goduto le specialita
della casa. Ovviamente è stato un successo, perche a tutti noi piacciono un menu di pesce e la raffinatezza dei piatti di Antico Martini e inoltre un ambiente cosi elegantissimo e particolarmente notevole per l'atmosfera di ospitalita.
Vi ringraziamo per aver dato ai nostri amici Italiani, Tito e Nuccia ed ai nostri amici Olandesi, Eric e Tonny, una serata indimenticabile. Per fortuna potremo godere in piu, perchè il vostro sito Internet ci da la possibilita di creare una serata Antico Martini da noi in Olanda grazie alle ricette che ci date in regalo.
Grazie per realizzare un sogno!

Dear Mr Baldi,
 
We would like to thank you for the wonderful birthday cake that was presented to
our son at your restaurant.
 
He phoned us today to tell us about the cake, it was a complete surprise and he
was delighted. His partner said it was a real thrill and she loved when the lights went
down as the cake was presented.
 
Thank you again for your attention.
 
Very best wishes.

I wanted to thank you for your help and for your dedication in hosting our group.
It was a pleasure working with you.

With my kind regards,

Greetings,

Although our reservations were not on file, we were taken directly to a
table, and we had a wonderful meal.  The wine suggestion made by our
waiter (Masi 1990 Amarone) was a wonderful blend with our entrées, and
the staff was very accommodating and informative.  We especially enjoyed
that you have a non-smoking section - a rare thing in many parts of the
world, but becoming more popular! 

Thanks again for a wonderful evening, and helping make our stay in
Venice a wonderful one.

Steve Walker (May 28, 2002)

Gentilissimo Sig. Baldi, quella del 18 agosto 2002 rimarrà per noi una

Dear Emilio and everyone at Antico Martini,
 
We would just like to say a very very big thankyou for our wonderful wedding reception.

Dear Mr. Baldi,

My son and I want to thank you and your staff for a wonderful dining
experience at your beautiful restaurant. The truffles were superb, the wine,
all of our selections were extraordinary and most memorable, right down to
the mascarpone cheese in the little pastry puffs!!  Now I understand why
anyone who has visited Venice and Anitco Martini always raves in their
recommendation. 
And thank you, Mr. Baldi, for greeting us by name and congratulating my son
Jeff on his graduation from college. 
Venice and Antico Martini will always hold a special place in our hearts. 
Thank you for making it so.  Grazie....
Sincerely,

Hello,
I was just writing to let you know that our lunch on Saturday the 24th of April was absolutely fabulous. I enjoyed the liver and onions, but I was wondering if you could make available the recipe for the meringue with chocolate and strawberry sauce. That dessert was the best I have had and would like to make it at home.
Again, thank you very much for a wonderful meal. I will certainly recommend your restaurant to all I know who visit Venice.
Grazie,
Andrew Martindale (April 26, 2004)


Emilio,
