What to order
The plates that decide it
Gnocchetti with calamari — the dish that made the room's name — tiny potato gnocchi with baby calamari and a whisper of cinnamon
The day's market fish, simply grilled — the catch is bought each morning at the Rialto across the bridge; let the host steer
Anything you'd find elsewhere — skip the safe choices — come for the fish and the gnocchetti
Why we say this
Insider secrets & local vibes
One of the most consistently praised seafood kitchens in the city — the cooking is restrained and lets the day's catch carry the plate.
