Directions: Near Giovanni e Paolo church This is an update of my previous review from 2008. Then it was one of our favorite restaurants. It is still good but it wasn't a standout. I am not sure if we just hit a bad day but at this point I am a little unsure. If it has declined and the food we had was typical then I would not go out of the way to eat here. Nothing wrong just average food, an average experience. Reviewed by: Monica Pileggi from USA, review #3509 When: 2010
I’ve dined here on previous trips to Venice. It’s a reliable place for lunch (or dinner). I arrived in the late afternoon and there were only a few customers in the two rooms. I was glad they were still open. I had an excellent dish of pasta with clams in a garlic/oil sauce (15 euros). The clams were fresh and the pasta cooked just right. I love small restaurants, as the walls and ceiling are usually filled with old photos, pitchers, and other trinkets. Behind me were shelves with large vats of wine. While having lunch, I talked with the woman at the table next to me (tables are set close together). It turned out she was one of three women I was planning to meet for dinner that night. We met online on the Slow Talk get together boards. Small world! This review is the opinion of a Slow Travel member and not of slowtrav.com. |
