Near the old abattoir there used to be the starting point for the Venetian oarsmen. The name of this "trattoria" maintains the fascination of this world which is reflected in the strategic position of the establishment, in front of the sea which separates Venice from the mainland, in a typically maritime setting defined by the dark wood of the tables and walls. The menu changes every day to cater for the needs of the various clientele that habitually visit the trattoria: at lunch time a fixed menu for the local workmen, and during the evenings a typically Venetian cuisine. There are no special "house" dishes since the menu follows the course of the seasons. Unforgettable are the grey shrimps with white polenta; the little octupus Torcello style and the Greek sardines, which according to an ancient "Serenissima" recipe are fresh anchovies "cooked" in vinegar. An authentic speciality are the black tagliolini with mussels, fresh tomatoes and basil. During the winter months, don't miss the sea bass cooked in a bag made of pasta and bread, stuffed with black olives, bay leaves and spices. The mixed fried fish is prepared in a special oil which leaves it deliciously crunchy. Spaghetti alla busara, bigoli in sauce, pumpkin tortelli with fresh scampi and courgette flowers or lasagne with asparagus and shrimps are all unforgettable first dishes! When in season, the plates of pasta are served with a sauce of castraure..........tiny artichokes. |
