Food Style? Italian

Venice isn't known for a particular dish per se, but like Como, their seafood is well renown. This particular restaurant I've come across has sardines and polenta "Venice style" so I give it a go. It's in the middle of Zattere, which is very popular with tourists wanting to catch the sunsets in Venice.

Appetizer


Venetian-Style Sardines with Polenta
The sardines are fresh and sweet, with that hint of saltiness and no fishiness. The polenta is not very well seasoned, but eating it with the sardines and the pickled vegetables solves that problem. Not too bad.

Pizza


Mangiafuoco - spicy salami, chilli pepper, paprika, Tobasco sauce
I'm at a pizzeria so I should really have some pizza too. I'm also in the mood for something spicy, which is not a particularly common element in Italian cooking. I learn quickly that eating pizza by yourself can be quite a mission, and of course, the more people there are, the greater the variety. Oh well. I finished the pizza, in any case. Also not too bad.
