Trattoria Alla Madonna - a very traditional Venetian trattoria in a side street one block from the Rialto.
Two cold beers to refresh.
A wonderful fresh crab served in its shell dressed with fresh lemon juice, salt & pepper, olive oil and a generous sprig of fresh flat leaf parsley.
A nice chilled Pinot Grigio - from the Yermann Estate - excellent.
Spaghetti - a fine grade - in squid ink with cuttlefish pieces. A danger warning from the waiter is heeded but efforts are not entirely successful as both Cesare and I have squid ink spots on our shirts. Probably this means throwing the shirt in the bin as squid ink is a disaster...
Wild strawberries - those lovely semi sweet semi sour miniature strawberries - served with a scoop of home made vanilla ice cream.
Espresso.
Grappa.

Benissimo!
