Restaurant Osteria la Zucca

• S. Croce, 1762
• Venice

The setting of “at the sign of the pumpkin” is charming: in the heart of the down-to-earth Santa Croce area, across a canal, by a crooked bridge.

Alla Zucca swims against the Venetian tide: first because there is hardly any fish on the menu, and second because the prices are astonishingly low for such assured cooking.

The atmosphere is pleasantly post-Woodstock (or the Italian equivalent) and the front of house staff are all female, to a man.

Capacity of max. 35 pax.
