Venice | Where Locals Queue for Squid Ink Pasta 🦑

After skipping overcrowded spots, we struck gold on Google Maps—this 4.7-rated hole-in-the-wall, Osteria Pan e Ogio, where we grabbed the last table amid curious stares from Venetian regulars. Jackpot! 💰 ~€32/pax (shockingly affordable for Venice!) 🔥 MUST-ORDER 1️⃣ Squid Ink Pasta Jet-black, al dente perfection—packed with tender squid chunks. Pro tip: Bring lip balm (you’ll leave with goth lips! 💋⚫) 2️⃣ Fritto Misto (Fried Seafood Platter) Crispy 🦐🍤🐙 rings that crunch like ocean chips "We don’t know what half these sea creatures are, but GOD they’re good" 🍽 Also Solid Seafood Risotto: Grainy, briny, very Venetian Grilled Seafood Plate: That garlicky prawn? 🤌 Tiramisu: Served by the beaming chef who bragged, "I made it!" 😊 📍 Location 5 mins from Santa Lucia Station, canalside seats = prime sunset views 🌅 #VenetianSecrets #EatLikeALocal #SquidInkOrSink #FoodieAdventure #NoTouristTraps
