Let’s start with this…beautiful outdoor setting in Campo San Stefano.  the servers approach immediately to serve you water and bread. (three types)  Then, the Captain comes over to take your drink order and explain the all Italian menu to you.  He spends as much time as you need for him to explain each and every item.  He seemed genuinely happy to do so. He probably spent 7 or 8 minutes at our table just to translate the menu items.  The food, exceptional.  Just look at the pics, my descriptions could not do them justice.  The beer, a simple birra alla spina (beer on tap) was the usual Peroni Nastro Azzuro, was a refreshing lager but as most know nothing special.  Just great to drink on a warm summer night when they keep filling your glass when it is empty.  (had 7 got charged for 4)

At the end of the meal you are given a lovely little carafe of Limoncello as you can see in the second picture.  Now what is a guy to do.  My wife hardly drinks and my niece is 13…so, when in Rome…..(or Venice).  Yes, I drank most of it and then they brought me a glass of black Sambuca…Oh my.

We had two bottles of water but got charged for 22.  It was an honest mistake, or they thought I wouldn’t notice after all of the drinking, and all of the wait staff laughed about the $110.00 charge for water.

What a great last meal in Venice.
