Restaurant · Venice

@infatuation

"There are a lot of super cute restaurants in Venice, but most of them are packed with tourists and people who will happily wait two hours for their food. Chez Tex is different. This tiny spot on Main St. is full of locals who are there to drink wine with a friend and share delicious food like burrata and crostinis, seared scallops, and chicken paillard. By the time you leave, your server will probably have memorized your name, which all but solidifies you’re standing as a regular from here on out." - Brant Cox
