Banal cicchetti appetizer with prehistoric mouthlets

Banal cicchetti appetizer with prehistoric thickets

What makes a difference in the year? last year was this facility so good that we visited them twice during a four-day stay in venezia. today's meal was one of the tourist traps. once the server (owners? found that we were disappointed by what they were offered, the mood swinging to a cure, but usually friendly, one. the meals were understandard, and when my wife visited the toilet room, she discovered a sound from the kitchen that she quickly recognized the piep of a microwave oven. the prices were high for the offered quality. 83 euro for a baked chicken carving, venetian leber, half a liter red house wine, a medium beer and two bottled water. the drinks were the highlight of the meal. the only real selling point was the location: next to a side channel.

Love this sweet little restaurant right above one of the bridges of Venice and outside seating next to the water. We had a free prosecco to start and share a Marqherita pizza for a starter and then had 2 large fish dishes and a bottle of Valpolicella. It was so nice.

The setting canal side, the ambiance, the service, the food all earn 5 stars. Plus more stars for the salad Caprese!! We have eaten salad Caprese at 4 different restaurants here in Venice and this was the best!! The delicate slicing of both the tomatoes and mozzarella may account for the outstanding flavor whatever this is the best we have eaten.
