Expert review of Alle Testiere
Gourmet fare and an excellent wine list at this tiny place which is a foodies’ favourite.
You won’t find crowds outside Alle Testiere: the many fans who return again and again to this diminutive upmarket restaurant know that if you don’t book well ahead, you just won’t get in.
Food and drink:
Out front, sommelier Luca charms diners through his small but excellent wine list, while in the kitchen, chef Bruno blends the very freshest of mainly local ingredients with a careful selection of herbs and spices to produce a menu with Venetian undertones and personal creative twists. So a hint of cinammon creeps into his gnocchi with baby squid, while clams are given a new direction with the addition of ginger. In the evening, booking for the second sitting (9.30pm) allows you to savour your meal in more leisurely fashion.
Ambience:
True foodies squeeze into this tiny space to enjoy an unfailingly good gastronomic experience.
Service:
Courteous, well informed and professional.
Location:
Between St Mark’s and the Rialto, near lively Campo Santa Maria Formosa.
Price advice:
Three courses will cost about 55 euros a head.
