This is a small place on the little-known island of Chioggia in the Veneto region. It is known as…read morethe "Little Venice" and there are many small places like this one serving fresh seafood. The only thing I can comment on is the appetizer because that's all I had. I tried the sea scallops along with a local Veneto white wine and it was good. Service was adequate and ambiance was ok. The real ambiance is Chioggia with its Venice-like feel and small bridges spanning canals. I came more for the views than for the food and it was mid-day so I wasn't ready for a full meal. This was the only place I ate so you have to take this review in a vacuum. I could give more perspective if I tried a few other places in the area.

No doubt the honour of piadini champions goes to Rimini: a fact I was not aware of upon my arrival…read more However 20 minutes off the train was sufficient time to dip my toes in the Adriatic Sea and shuffle along to the gorgeous La Casina del Bosco which led to this very discovery. I made the right choice of venue. What an absolutely gorgeous outdoor cafe with charming, efficient and totally on the ball staff and the fastest service I've had since arriving in Italy. I even had a few language lessons with the waitstaff who humoured me as I practiced my very beginner Italian on them. The first thing that caught my eye and consequently ordered was piadina alla porchetta. A spectacular choice. The piadina itself was light, slightly toasty, with a nice hint of olive oil but the main attraction was the pig. Delicious, sumptuous, well seasoned porchetta made this dish a massive hit for me. And for just €5 I was suitably impressed. I happily spent a solitary hour here soaking up the atmosphere, sipping on coffee and reflecting on my delicious meal. Thumbs up from me. Next time I'll be trying their gelato desserts too. They looked delicious!

Brisighella is my friend Ricca's hometown. It is about 87km from Florence. It is marked by the…read morepresence of 3 defensive monuments, the Manfredian Rock, Monticino Sanctuary and the Clock Tower. Brisighella is now one of the most beautiful towns in Italy enjoying a high quality of life and attracting many tourists during the Medieval fair held at the beginning of the Summer. My friend Ricca took me to her favourite restaurant called Stryx. The restaurant is located at Piazza Marconi, just below the ancient Via del Borgo, also called "Via degli Asini" (Donkey's Alley). The alley is an elevated covered street with arched open windows of different sizes used by carters for carrying chalk using donkeys. Stryx is a family run restaurant by brother and sister chefs Pierluigi (Gi) and Mirena. They grew up in kitchens where their father and uncle both had Michelin starred restaurants (La Grotta and Gigiole). The restaurant can seat 20 but could fit 30 for special events. The building is an ancient building and the back structure of the building is a chalk hill. As such the law does not permit them to have a kitchen in the building for health and safety purposes. They have their kitchen in another building just across the street. They do not get tired of walking to and fro, from the kitchen to the restaurant. I salute people who have passion in what they do! Stryx serves traditional Italian food from the region but with a twist. This brother and sister team strongly believe in the philosophy of fresh ingredients and sourcing local produce. Therefore does not have a cold store room in their kitchen. They love to challenge themselves to create new dishes based on the ingredients available at the local market. Their menu changes on a weekly basis. Not once did my friend had the same dish twice during her previous visits. We were served freshly made Focaccia bread with Brisighello olive oil. The olive oil has a slight pleasantly bitter taste a characteristics given by the clay soils of the area. The Focaccia bread was so good that Mirena generously gave us 2 plates! I ordered the €18 set lunch: 2 coloured pudding made of Ricotta cheese and spinach. It was so soft, smooth and full of flavours. The texture was similar to pudding.Yes, it was that good. Opened ravioli with white Bolognese sauce and black truffle. I have never had opened ravioli before. It blended well with the sauce and aroma of the black truffle. Yummy... Pork rolls and omelette. There were herbs in the pork rolls. Even the mash potatoes looked so artsy. The omelette was thick and the combination of flavours was good. I was full but definitely had space for dessert. Dessert was semi cold cream and liquor with crunchy biscuits (croccantino). The food was excellent. The service was great. Gi and Mirena were friendly, polite and attentive. This was undeniably the best meal I had in Italy. There were many wind chimes hanging in the restaurant. They were gifts from customers who had travelled all over the world. I managed to spot a Dreamcatcher, not a wind chime. Local artists also display their artworks on the walls of the restaurant. I believe that they should charge customers more for that level of high quality food and service. It is just a matter of time before they are awarded Michelin stars. They truly deserve it!

Osteria del Bugiardo was located in a good area so we made our way over to this wine bar. Service (2.5/5): Confusing system. There was a wait for a table but no hostess outside. We eventually talked to someone and she said that while there's no list, she will remember our faces and let us know when a table is ready. Not the most efficient system but we waited about 10 minutes to be seated at the bar. Our waiter took care of us pretty well after we got in. Ambiance (3.5/5): Your typical wine bar. Nice ambiance. The only downside for me is that seating at the bar consisted of bar stools. Without back support. Which I have always hated and which hurts my back. It's also pretty tight in there when they're at capacity. Drinks (4/5): Since this is a wine bar, you know what to order. We had glasses of rose. Not the heaviest pour but the price was solid. If you're not looking for wine, they also have things like Aperol Spritz. Food (4/5): You won't find hearty fare here but you will be able to munch on a lot of small plates. I'm talking things like mini sandwiches, croquettes, meatballs, salads, etc. Which is exactly what we did. We shared a couple of tapas between the two of us. It was filling and did the job. I wasn't stuffed but it was good and on the healthier side. Overall: Osteria del Bugiardo is one of the most popular restaurants on Yelp in Verona and it's located in the heart of the city.
