Wonderful dinner.

Directions: Head due south from the Accademia bridge, turn left at the Giudecca canal and the restaurant is down the street before the first bridge. La Piscina is located at Pensione La Calcina on the south end of Dorsoduro.

There is both indoor and outdoor dining on the terrace– make reservations in advance to sit outside and enjoy the views. I met up with three other Slow Talk friends for dinner.

I had the crostini misti to start and the pappardelle pasta (wide ribbon-like noodles) with duck ragu. I love the texture of the pasta and there was enough ragu to coat the pasta and not be overly rich. Others in the party had a seafood risotto, which I tasted. The risotto was creamy and flavorful. We shared a bottle of wine. 32 euros for my portion. This was my second time dining at La Piscina and again, a great meal.
