"The menu at Trattoria Al Vecio Portal is modern and Venetian, but you might find steak tartare with Filipino flavors like ginger and soy, or ravioli that feel spiritually connected to gyoza. Any seafood dish on the rotating menu—whether that’s the garganelli with clams, tagliolini with shrimp and artichokes, or tuna tartare with soy, capers, and chives—is going to be excellent. Come for dinner, get a bottle off the natural wine list, sit in the huge garden in the back, and always save room for sorbet and the only cannoli worth having in Venice." - Gillian McGuire
