Description

The nautical decor in this restaurant, situated near Piazza Aurora, is no coincidence. The Bucintoro was the boat that the Doge of Venice used on Ascension Day, in the port of the Lido to cele- brate Venice’s marriage to the sea. Il Bucintoro’s menu is mainly fish-based. We suggest you try the warm seafood salad, the ta- gliardi with scampi and asparagus, the spaghetti with local lob- ster, the cuttlefish in camicia with asparagus, the tuna steak and the baked sea bass fillet with vegetables. The wine list offers around eighty labels. There is a vast choice of local wines and proseccos, white wines from Friuli and South Tyrol, reds from the Veneto, Tuscany and Piedmont, fine sparkling wines from Fran- ciacorta and Champagne.
