Amazing Restaurant…read more We were staying in quiet Guarda Veneta for three nights, looking for a bit quiet and nature (and we found it). This was one of two places for dinner in town. Recommended by our holiday home host. We came here the first night....and came back for the next two, we liked it so much. It was totally empty the first night when we arrived (some guest arrived later on, it was busier the other two nights...but still far from packed). The whole town was quite empty though. We were greeted friendly by two waitresses and the cook. Our dog was also allowed inside, which was really nice. They have a nice menu here. Some good starters and mains. Mostly Italian dishes, but with some modern / new twists. There is a good number of tables in the restaurant and a good selection of wines and drinks. Every night a small welcome drink was complementary, also a free starter / Aperitif and the third night (besides starter and a drink) even a small dessert. Ain't that nice. They didn't have to do that, since we were clearly tourists and probably not coming back regularly. But they did, and that was really going further than the extra-mile. It's a great staff here in general. We had a bit problems with the language-barrier (Menu only in Italian), but the wonderful young cook here helped us out many times, took his time and explained his tasty creations. Here's a list of the items we've had on our three nights out: Tuna Carpaccio (great quality tuna - smokey flavours) Shrimp Gnocchetti (home-made gnocchi, fresh shrimp) Grilled meat platter (a big and good selection of meat) Two Scallops in their shell, topped with butter and cheese (great quality seafood) Fettuccini with tomatoes, basil and fish (another great item, great pasta) Seafood Spaghetti (big, fresh and good broth) Tuna "Cheesecake" (fresh cheese topped with smoked tuna, a very innovative item) Bowl of steamed seafood (mussels, shirmps, another meal of freshness) Pasta with shrimp and mint (what sounds funny is actually a very tasty combination) Peach Cobbler/Cake (one of the best cakes we've had lately in a restaurant) Besides that they always served some free aperitif snacks. It's a really fantastic restaurant. In the five weeks we've travelled Italy this year, this place is among the top three places. And we've seen lots. Who knew that in this quiet, but charming little town you will find such a great restaurant with a really talented cook. Check it out if you are around this area. It's worth a trip. Fresh food, friendly staff and a cook who creates fantastic dishes. Prices are very very fair. Never paid more than 48 Euros. Including a bottle of wine! Highly recommended!

This place is really the real deal. Authentic, Ferrara cuisine that is made with love is something…read moreworth seeking out. We had eaten here 15 years ago and stumbled upon it again. This time, there is a Michelin sign up, but that wasn't the motivation to go. It was because we remembered the pumpkin ravioli with sage and amaretto cookie, the fresh pasta with black truffle, and the wonderful, authentic vibe of this place. It's a busy place, and the elegance is just enough when paired with the working class traditional cuisine. It's a special place. And, it is tucked away in the cute medieval quarter of Ferrara. Transport yourself back and eat the way it was meant to be. Wonderful.

The interior is nicely cooled and appropriately decorated and the service is fast. One recommendation: save room for the Tagliatelle Cake (sounds weird having a cake made with pasta) but it's delicious - particularly if you like the flavor of almond liquors (e.g.: Disaronno). Think of it as a coffee crumble cake but with almond liquor instead and a crunchy nutty topping instead of coffee cake crumbles.

We had a charcuterie appetizer very rich with different salumi like salame, mortadella, prosciutto crudo, pancetta and the fried gnocco. Then we had 2 different pastas, the homemade fresh tagliatelle al ragù and the cappellacci filled with pumpkin in a parmigiano cream, crispy pancetta and some balsamic on top... delicious!! Then... yes... then we had a 3rd course with different grilled meat and grilled vegetable suck zucchini, eggplant, red peppers... after that, a selection for desert and of course espresso at the end.

Which is a shame, because the food was that good. Standouts included the passatelli in brodo and the tripe. I swear the broth tasted exactly like my Nonna's broth (the passatelli themselves a bit different but good nonetheless). The tripe were like Italy's version of the Louisiana etoufee. The staff were super friendly and helpful, sending over their English speaking waitress to ask if we needed any help.

There was definitely a line for tables when we left. We wanted a light dinner so we only got lasagna and a glass of wine, but the service was wonderful and it was the best lasagna of my life.

This place was one of the first stops we made for lunch while walking through the paths of Venice…read more The scenery was excellent and the restaurant looked clean and high end for a good lunch. Unfortunately our wait staff had major issues getting the orders through. In the end what we thought were small personal pizzas ended up being full size ones. Simply too much food for three people. The quality of the dish was questionable at best and gave each of us terrible upset stomachs for the rest of our day in Venice. Overall just an extremely disappointing experience.

It is simple. It is more like a little neighborhood wine bar (which it is). It doesn't even have a web presence. And it is off the beaten path. But it is worth a Yelper's highest praise. The food is fantastic. Especially the pumpkin ravioli, venison and all seafood dishes are unforgettable. The collection of local and not so local wine is wonderful. We packed a car load with Alessandro's wine recommendations, but all evaporated quickly. I am now a fan of Bosco Eliceo frizzantes. Too bad I need to go to Italy to get this wonderful wine. Non of the Boston wine importers seem to carry it.
