๐ SPAGHETTI ALLA TENEZIANA ai nero dl seppia Spaghetti with Cuttlefish Ink ๐๐๐๐๐ As soon as this dish hit the table, the rich, savory aroma filled the air. Each strand of pasta was perfectly coated in the thick, glossy black ink, making it look incredibly appetizing. The texture was smooth and delightful. However, the dish was quite salty, which seems to be a common preference here in Italy. ๐ง But that didn't detract from its overall deliciousness! ๐ ๐ FRITTO MISTO DI PESCE Fried Mixed Seafood ๐๐๐๐๐ What more can I say? The golden, crispy exterior and the generous portion of fried seafood were simply mouthwatering. ๐ฅน The seafood inside was incredibly fresh and chewy, making every bite a delight. ๐ Lasagna ๐๐๐๐ While lasagna can sometimes feel a bit same-y, this was hands down the best Iโve ever had. Italy truly knows how to do it right. ๐ฅ Pre-Meal Bread There were two types of bread: a regular, homestyle loaf and Grissini breadsticks, which were thin, crispy, and perfect for snacking. The salt sprinkled on top made them even more addictive. ๐ท Post-Dinner Treats After the meal, the restaurant generously offered two glasses of wine and two pieces of candy. Plus, the waitstaff spoke excellent English, so there was no need to worry about language barriers. #ItalianCuisine #DiningDiary #GlobalFoodieSquad #ItalianFood #Italy #ItalianRestaurant #Venice #VenetianCuisine #VeniceDining #VenetianRestaurants
