Vaporetto stop: Ca Rezzonica
This is a little simple Venetian restaurant in the Dorsoduro area and is one of our favourites as it serves excellent local Venetian specialties.
They are part of the slow food movement celebrating seasonal food. The meals we have had here have never failed to surprise and have always been of the highest quality. Usually, we order a plate of antipasti of either vegetables or the fish and seafood. You can see a selection of what is available in the little glass cabinet on the bar counter when you come in. Wines are local choices which they will recommend.
This is followed by an enormous shared plate of seafood pasta, usually dependent on what was available at the market that morning. This has never failed to surprise and please. There is a small selection for desert, the last time we had an amazing chocolate pana cotta, deliciously rich and so satisfying.
We never miss this place when we go to Venice. A testament to the quality of the food, the last time we were here for lunch, a very stylish Italian couple were eating here on recommendation of an Italian gourment guide. We met this couple again and a few of our other favourite Venetian restaurants too.
There aren’t many tables so it would be best to book early.
