If you actually eat within Cafe Quadro in their restaurant upstairs it's a price fixed dinner at about 380 euros per person. .
Gentile Perche, suppongo che parla del Quadri, non Quadro. The Quadri Alajmo clearly shows its tariffs and is a Venetian institution at a perfect location with gracious service. The downstairs restaurant abc Quadri (alla base della cucina) serves reasonable dishes or a lovely degustation at EUR 85, ideally taken after an opera evening at the Fenice. On the first floor (about to be refurbished) they serve a Michelin starred degustation menu from 185 to 225 EUR, NOT 380 EUR. And no need to tip, only some US Americans do .
