🇮🇹 I just found this restaurant in Venice today! 😱
If it’s your first time in Venice, staying on the island is nice 🏝️ — but if you’re a foodie who loves value for money, I highly recommend staying in Mestre (just outside Venice)! 🏨 Hotel Recommendation: The Plaza Hotel (right across from the train station 🚉 – one stop to the island). 4-star quality with an amazing breakfast! 🍳☕ Now back to the food — Tonight, we found an authentic Italian seafood restaurant via Google Maps: Hostaria Vite Rossa 🦞 (Don’t be fooled by the crowd outside – they’re all locals drinking and chatting 🍷, not waiting in line!) When you walk in, there’s a bar on both sides, and right ahead – a stunning counter filled with fresh seafood… so exciting! 🐙🦐 📌 Pro tip: Come around 6:00 PM to avoid waiting. We’re three guys, so we ordered: ✨ 2 raw shrimp + 2 oysters as appetizers Review: Super fresh, high-quality seafood! ✨ A fried seafood platter as a starter – So generous it half-filled us up! And the seafood quality? Top-notch! ✨ Mains: 1 Seafood pasta 🍝 1 Beef with potatoes and mushrooms 🥔🍄 1 Lobster pasta 🦞 – All were delicious, loaded with ingredients. The lobster pasta especially – half a lobster, tender and perfect! 😋 By now, we were totally full… but still… ✨ Dessert: Shared one tiramisu between three guys (a little awkward? 😅) But honestly – THE BEST TIRAMISU I’VE EVER HAD! 🍫☕ 💰 Total for 3: €111 💯 Conclusion: A hidden gem of an Italian seafood restaurant – HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! 🙌 #FoodDiscovery #HiddenGemHotel #BestRestaurants #Venice #VeniceTravelGuide #SeafoodPasta #LobsterPasta #Tiramisu 🍝🦞🍮
