Gardens spilling over and into the courtyards - this is the impression I always get when I go for an extended lunch to a very particular garden restaurant located in the 15th century palazzo Zorzi, in the sestriere di Castello: Al Giardinetto - da Severino . Extended because I simply love sitting here enjoying their outstanding food. To learn more about that I invite you to take a look at their menu here .
I had lunch at Il Giardinetto (meaning "the small garden") two weeks ago, on a beautiful summer day with no clouds in sight. So it was warm enough to enjoyrelax sitting reviews on royal carribean cruise line in their spacious decked garden - covered by a groviglio of vines. They even have air-conditioning (small fans) hung up all over in the garden, connected with cables that are not easily seen as the ambiance is green, green, green, to make sure a light breeze makes lunchers feel refreshed from the rather hot sun in late summer.
My light lunch consisted in tagliolini ai granchi (crab) and insalata dell'estuario (Venetian lagoon salad) which is usually green salad, reviews on royal carribean cruise line the softest and juciest carrots you can imagine, and tomatoes. reviews on royal carribean cruise line This was followed reviews on royal carribean cruise line by a slightly less light dessert - being a zuppa inglese . But they have their own recipe here for zuppa inglese, reviews on royal carribean cruise line a very colorful one as you will see below.
Insalata dell'Estuario comes first, with so soft carrots that you can only find here ... at least that is my personal impression. It was seasoned with the finest olive oil "Rustico" produced near Lake Garda ( Moniga del Garda )
I love this place because it is such a haven and oasis in the midst of Venice, just a few steps across two bridges from the central Campo SS Filipo e Giacomo, in Ruga Giuffa. The food is excellent and I always recommend this place, as well as my family does, to all those that want a taste of Venetian traditional reviews on royal carribean cruise line home-made food. And it is a well-known family-run restaurant, as you can read here.
