๐ฎ๐น I just found this restaurant in Venice today! ๐ฑ
If itโs your first time in Venice, staying on the island is nice ๐๏ธ โ but if youโre a foodie who loves value for money, I highly recommend staying in Mestre (just outside Venice)! ๐จ Hotel Recommendation: The Plaza Hotel (right across from the train station ๐ โ one stop to the island). 4-star quality with an amazing breakfast! ๐ณโ Now back to the food โ Tonight, we found an authentic Italian seafood restaurant via Google Maps: Hostaria Vite Rossa ๐ฆ (Donโt be fooled by the crowd outside โ theyโre all locals drinking and chatting ๐ท, not waiting in line!) When you walk in, thereโs a bar on both sides, and right ahead โ a stunning counter filled with fresh seafoodโฆ so exciting! ๐๐ฆ ๐ Pro tip: Come around 6:00 PM to avoid waiting. Weโre three guys, so we ordered: โจ 2 raw shrimp + 2 oysters as appetizers Review: Super fresh, high-quality seafood! โจ A fried seafood platter as a starter โ So generous it half-filled us up! And the seafood quality? Top-notch! โจ Mains: 1 Seafood pasta ๐ 1 Beef with potatoes and mushrooms ๐ฅ๐ 1 Lobster pasta ๐ฆ โ All were delicious, loaded with ingredients. The lobster pasta especially โ half a lobster, tender and perfect! ๐ By now, we were totally fullโฆ but stillโฆ โจ Dessert: Shared one tiramisu between three guys (a little awkward? ๐ ) But honestly โ THE BEST TIRAMISU IโVE EVER HAD! ๐ซโ ๐ฐ Total for 3: โฌ111 ๐ฏ Conclusion: A hidden gem of an Italian seafood restaurant โ HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! ๐ #FoodDiscovery #HiddenGemHotel #BestRestaurants #Venice #VeniceTravelGuide #SeafoodPasta #LobsterPasta #Tiramisu ๐๐ฆ๐ฎ
