Venetian tapas

Venetian tapas also called cicchetti include baccala mantecato (salt cod whipped to a creamy paste in olive oil), castraure (fresh young artichokes), and a pistachio-cheese cream crostini. For the more daring foodie, try fopeti (baby octopus), sarde in saor (sardines marinated in vinegar, pine nuts, onions and raisins), masanelle (tiny green crabs, eaten shells and all).

Address on it's way

The venetian aperitivo

It's called Spritz. It's absolutely amazing and delightful.
At the bar you are immediately confronted with the question wether you are sweet or bitter in taste - because the Spritz comes in two versions!

Basically it's an aperitivo based on a sort of sweet/bitter alcohol mixed with either Prosecco or Spumante... but since processo are produced in the area you don't get to choose. Who cares, anything with bubbles are welcome.

So the sweet version spitz are mixed with Aperol (the sweeter brother of Campari) hints of bitter orange, rhubarb, chinchona, genziana and a secret combination of herbs. And the bitter version is the same, but with Campari.

It's now a national phenomenon.

Osteria alle Testiere

Amazing hidden gem of an italian fish restaurant.
I have never had anything like it! It's heavenly beyond imagination.
Please book a tabel and go there. It's super small and with small but select menu.
