text: I'm on the pursuit of happiness, and I know\nEverything that shine ain't always gonna be gold\nHey, I'll be fine once I get it, I'll be good at...CANALETTO! - Kid Cudi (pursuit of happiness)\n\nLocated in what feels like the heart of the Venetian near the canals, the location could not be any better. We were seated on the outside part of the restaurant so we could watch the performances going on every 15 minutes or so it seemed like. In the middle of the meal there was a performance lady in one of the fake balcony's above the restaurant that started singing opera, which was kind of weird and oddly cool at the same time. \n\nWe started off with the 'tempura' vegetables and it was really good actually. Yes this place is italian so technically they are fried vegetables but it reminded me of vegetable tempura! Anyways, some good variety including eggplant, asparagus, and the best one of them all: the artichokes. I would've been happy with a full plate of these fried artichokes as they were super tasty and light. For the main course, I had the seafood pasta with tomato sauce. Wow the pasta was definitely al dente, it was really well done although the seafood components weren't special. I couldn't even tell if they were fresh seafood or not; I think the pasta stood out more than the seafood and that's not a good thing. Service could've been better as well, food took much longer than expected and drinks took a while.\n\nFood: 3 stars --- Service: 3 stars --- Atmosphere: 4 stars --- Price(value): n/a
