In-Depth Information
Far from clubby pubs lining Venice's alleyways, A Beccafico basks in the sunshine
of Campo Santo Stefano and open Venetian admiration. Chef Adeli serves Sicily-
size bowls of mussels under a bubbling, flaky crust. He defies Venice's cardinal
rule never to mix lagoon seafood with cheese, serving squid-ink pasta with lemon
zest and ricotta. Linger over feather-light Pieoropan Soave Classico, and leave with
a surprisingly full belly - and wallet. (

VENETIAN, CICHETI BAR
Join the bar crowd working its way through the vast selection of wine and
cicheti,
or come early for a table outdoors (in summer). Inside the snug backroom that
looks like a ship's hold, tuck into seaworthy bowls of pasta with
bottarga
(dried
fish roe), steak drizzled with aged balsamic vinegar, and housemade ravioli. Cash
only. (
