Al Graspo de Ua

$$$$, Italian, San Marco

User Rating: **** 4.4

Fodor's Review:

Opened in the 19th century as a small osteria, the "Bunch of Grapes" became the meeting place of artists and movie stars back in the 1960s. Today, it serves a faithful clientele of wealthy Italians. The decor is a miscellanea of plants, sculpture, candlelight, and paintings set against brick and white-stucco walls. The owner, Lucio Zanon, speaks fluent English and will introduce you to a wide-ranging menu of fresh pasta, seasonal risotto, and meat and seafood. A treat in late spring is the thick white asparagus from Bassano, which, with a couple of fried eggs, is eaten as a main course. Desserts are all homemade.

Good food and service.....but

Posted by Richard from Coral Gables, FL on 6/6/06

No strangers to fine dining, while Al Graspo de Ua delivers on the fine dining experience, we experienced equally good service and food for much less Euros. Not necessarily pretentious, but a bit over the top for the prices. The again, it is Venice....
