Fondamenta dei Ormesini, 2754, 30121 Venezia VE, Italy
‘Meat Only’ was the greeting from the host as we walked through the door at this popular eno-ostaria. In a town known mostly for its abundance of fresh fish and seafood, we were not offended he was trying to save us all some time in case we were looking for a seafood risotto. Meat was what we came for and boy did they deliver. A small menu offers simply prepared cuts of tender steaks with a mildl smokey flavor. Go with a friend and order one of their amazing platters to share.There were two pasta dishes on the menu and limited selection of appetizers. There is a reason for this, the portions are a good size, Al Timon knows what it does well and is not messing around with an extensive menu. As we waited for our food to arrive we noticed kids, and adults alike popping in and walking out with crostini. These are called xxxxxx and people order them as a quick snack for 2€ each and head off. We witnessed multiple people busy snapping fotos of their xxxx and vino Rossi creating the perfect opening for seagulls to swoop in and steal the tasty snacks. We sat an outdoor table under a fabric awning and didn’t have an issue. Then again we ate with such gusto we really didn’t give them a chance!
