We picked the most atmospheric place we could find to eat in Dorsoduro — Osteria Alla Bifora had a candlelit, wood-beamed and bricked interior, and everyone else were drinking wine and spritz, and eating platters of meat and cheese.
My spritz
Anchovies with olives
Serrano with peppers
Squid in ink, with polenta
Roast beef with rocket, strawberies and parmesan
Dessert!
We were seated at a rustic, wooden table, and they handed out our paper placemats and menu.
Our eyes grew large as we read the menu but alas … some of our choices were sold out already.
This was probably one of the most memorable meals in Venice — I’d never eaten anything like these dishes before, and they were absolutely delicious!
Apologies, as my photos do not do the dishes justice :(
