The Food:
Crab meat with its coral sauce (Granceola con salsa al corallo)
Salt cod Venetian style (Baccalà mantecato alla veneziana)
Hand made Bigoli in Venetian sauce (Bigoli al torchio in salsa veneziana)
Tagliolini au gratin with large shrimp and red radicchio (Tagliolini gratinati agli scampi con radicchio rosso di chioggia)
Burano soft shell crabs with white polenta and wild field greens salad (Moleche di Burano fritte con polenta bianca e insalata misticanza)
The Wines:
In the eyes, mind and taste buds of many, Da Fiore is the best restaurant in Venice. A few of the city’s most famous recipes are tweaked with creative touches and lightened up, but the culinary wizardry of owner/chef Mara Martin is such that her traditional renditions of Venetian classics are hard to beat.
