Botteghe di Promessi Sposi

Botteghe di Promessi Sposi Review

The former Promessi Sposi eatery was rejuvenated when three fioi (guys) with considerable restaurant experience joined forces. Claudio mans the kitchen, while Nicola and Cristiano will serve you either an ombra (small glass of wine) and cicheto at the banco (counter), or a delightful meal in the dining room or the intimate courtyard. A season-centered menu includes local standards like calves' liver or grilled canestrelli (tiny Venetian scallops), along with creative variations on classic Venetian fare, like homemade ravioli stuffed with radicchio di Treviso (red chicory leaves) or orichette (little ears—small cup-shaped pasta) with a scrumptious sauce of minced duck. The service is efficient, friendly, and helpful. This is a very popular place among Venetians, so if you don't want to have to battle crowds, be sure to make a reservation.
