Grom

GELATERIA
Lick the landscape at Grom, featuring Slow Food ingredients from across Italy:
lemon from the Amalfi Coast, pistachio from Sicily, hazelnuts from Piedmont.
Fair-trade chocolate and coffee-sourcing helped win the Turin-based Grom chain a
'Master of Slow Food' designation, but with seasonal flavours ranging from chest-
nut cream to apricot sorbet, you might award it another honorary title: lunch. (

Antica Trattoria La Furatola
€€€
VENETIAN, SEAFOOD
Before becoming museum central, Dorsoduro was a fishermen's neighbourhood
where the
furatola
(provisioner) offered simple, honest fare. La Furatola has gone
upmarket but still dishes seafood to Venetian fishermen's standards, fresh from
the Pescaria. Seafood appetisers are main events with
canoce
(mantis prawn), fol-
lowed by handmade pastas - go Sunday for ravioli
alla busara
(with prawn
sauce). Cash only. (

12.30-2.30pm & 7.30-10.30pm Tue-Wed & Fri-Sun, 7.30-10.30pm Thu;
