Whytney has now started the countdown to home with 5 days remaining! And one last goodbye to Venice for now. I know that she has enjoyed the overnight stays in Venice. I hope that she is able to get something good to eat when she is ported in Venice.
I spoke to her on the phone a couple of days ago and she was listing several foods that she wanted me to fix. It seems as though really good food is difficult to find on the ship. So, if she goes to Venice to grab a bite, here are some suggestions that come highly recommended:
(adapted from www.goitaly.about.com )
La Cantina, Campo San Felice near the Ca D'oro vaperetto stop. There's no written menu but all the food is freshly selected from the market that day. Francesco works his magic on a single burner and Andrea chooses only the most delicious regional wines for your tasting pleasure.
Al Leon D'Oro, Rio Terra della Maddalena, serves more traditional dinners. The nonna who cooks your supper makes you feel like you are a part of her extended family.
Acqua Pazza, Campo S. Angelo, has an outside patio and JoAnn loves their gelato for dessert. Actually, it is blasphemous, however she is not a typical gelato eater. Only this gelato she loves—served in a faberge fruit egg with a demitasse spoon to scoop out the frozen delicacy.
Bea Vita, Fondamente delle Cappuccine 3082, is a very small, newer restaurant. JoAnn recommends the duck antipasto, fish carpaccio, and the flaming tiramisu for dessert.
Osteria al Ponte del Diavolo on Torcello Island, a green island where you can see incredible mosaics in the 7th century Cathedral of Santa Maria Dell'Assunta. Bring a sketchpad and be prepared to listen to silence.
Il Nero Gatto is on Venice's colorful Burano Island. Bring your water colors with the most vibrant palette of colors.
5 more days and 5 too many!
