This is the start of our late summer 2024 Italy trip which includes two weeks of meals in Venice, Puglia, and Naples.
First night in Venice. Because my work has grown quite intense again this year, I didn’t have a lot of time for research. Ferreting out the best less formal restaurants can be quite time consuming, so I leaned heavily on Michelin recommended and starred places.
Alle Corone is Michelin recommended and located inside a lovely hotel.
The menu.
Amuse. Fritter.
Amuse. Mozzarella and Tomato.
Amuse. Cabbage puree.
Amuse. Fried Mackerel.
Amuse. Crispy goat cheese and more chips.
They have so much good bread in Italy.
Raw Amberjack marinated with sour cream and raspberries.
Pasta Pomodoro – you will see a lot of these.
Risotto cheese and pepper, raw red prawns and green apple sauce. Fabulous risotto with nice mix of textures.
Zoom!
Turbot Grilled, zucchini in bloom, and its mayonnaise.
Monkfish Carlina style with eggplant and friggitello pepper. Very nice. Monkfish itself had those big bones.
Great selection of Petite Fours.
And the gluten free versions.
Alle Corone was quite nice. It was a touch “old school” in atmosphere — white tablecloths and all — but the food was very good.
