The pumpkin flan was a true experience of sweet and savoriness. I couldn't stop eating the ratatouille; it was such a delicious treat. I was able to have a conversation with the chef after our meal, and she encouraged my excitement to experiment and try my hand at some of these dishes at home. I wish I lived in Venice, so I could have La Zucca regularly. They only had one reservation spot for the days we were in Venice, so I definitely recommend making reservations ahead of time.

The seating made it completely worth it, though--we were seated right by the canal water and had a gorgeous view throughout our meal! The servers were very pleasant, though navigating the menu takes a little extra effort. The menu is in Italian and changes regularly. While they do provide a translation menu, I ended up using my phone to translate most of it myself. For dietary restrictions, they do mark allergy items, though there aren't very many gluten-free options available. To drink, I ordered an Aperol Spritz. For food, I had the carrot soup and a plate of two sides: ratatouille and zucchini. The soup and the zucchini were both delicious! One of my friends ordered the linguine, but unfortunately found it to be overly salty. Overall, it's a lovely spot for a scenic lunch by the water, especially if you enjoy a lively atmosphere and don't mind navigating a changing Italian menu.

I can still remember biting through the thick but airy focaccia to the crisp bottom - I have no idea how they get this texture so perfect but it might be one of the best focaccia's I've had in my entire life. We shared 3 slices between the 3 of us so we could try them all. The mushroom and proscuitto one was my favorite, but I also really liked the spicy salami one and the tomato pesto. All the ingredients tasted so fresh and paired so well together. I was so happy after this meal and would definitely recommend this spot for anyone in Venice!

We asked the waitress to give us a few of her favorite appetizers and she brought out an assortment of fried pumpkin flower, a pork filled croquette, bacalla mantecato, a shrimp on toast. I WOULD recommend the bacallá and shrimp, but the others were just average. Regarding the pasta, presentation was beautiful but the taste.. there was enough SALT to stop your heart. Way too heavy handed on the salt which ultimately ruined the flavor of the dishes. More so the seafood spaghetti. Ultimately, we left disappointed because it was hard to enjoy a meal that shriveled up your tongue every bite that you took. Would I go back? Maybe, but not likely. Of note: Good atmosphere and kind servers!

We split the lasagna, ravioli, and seitan roast, which turned out to be about the right amount of food for two moderately hungry people.

While the food wasn't bad, it didn't make good on the promise of a different kind of cuisine in Venice. The food was tasty enough, but the eggplant and pasta were both just solid versions of dishes readily available throughout the city. The eggplant was touted as a signature dish, but was merely an echo of others throughout the area. Aside from the hint of tahini it would be indistinguishable. Similarly, the tagliatelle pasta with salmon did little to make itself memorable. I believe that these dishes reflect the Kosher dining experience, but our high hopes were nonetheless dashed by their mediocrity. Gam Gam is not a breath of fresh air, although maybe we would have been happier had we thought of it as just another restaurant. After all, tomato sauce makes almost anything delicious.
