Bruno and Luca have been friends for years, sharing a love of good cooking and fine wine. After working in various historic restaurants in the city, Bruno set up the osteria in 1993 and Luca soon joined him.
The antipasti, first and second courses are all exclusively of the freshest fish, preferably local, prepared with a dash of creativity and an eye to tradition. The use of spices and aromatic herbs from the lagoon islands and the littoral recall the ancient recipes of the Serenissima while also adding a touch of modernity. The sweets are all made on the premises with simple but tasty ingredients.
The wine list offers about a hundred labels, mainly from small local winemakers.
The menu changes several times … a day, so is spoken, immediately creating a magical synergy between host and guest.
There are only 9 tables, which is perhaps the real secret of this small osteria just a few steps from St Mark’s and from Rialto.
