Read moreSuch a great experience! It was amazing time with fantastic Silvia and Alessandro, awesome dinner with an additional background about dishes were served. Premium quality of products and excellent service add up to an unique and unforgettable journey to a real Italian Osteria. The old mansion of Venetian doge in Venerato with lovely landscape over the valley is part of this experience as well. Must visit place in Crete, especially when you want to find out something more about this island. Every dish was very tasty thus it’s difficult to pick up the best one but my private winner is busiate al pesto trapanese!
