mangiamo

Venice, famous for its centuries-old houses, the Grand Canal, gondolas, is also known for its great seafood. The best time to check Rialto for the bounty of the sea is Tuesday when fishermen bring their catch from the Adriatic and Mediterranean seas. Although much of the great catch goes to hotels and restaurants, the market will never disappoint shoppers.

While in Venice, my high school buddy Kay treated to dinner at Ristorante Gran Viale. Our prima piatti was a sumptuous spaghetti with lobster. I'm generally allergic to crustaceans but I could not resist it. Especially with a magnificent glass of wine.
