This is a small place on the little-known island of Chioggia in the Veneto region. It is known as…read morethe "Little Venice" and there are many small places like this one serving fresh seafood. The only thing I can comment on is the appetizer because that's all I had. I tried the sea scallops along with a local Veneto white wine and it was good. Service was adequate and ambiance was ok. The real ambiance is Chioggia with its Venice-like feel and small bridges spanning canals. I came more for the views than for the food and it was mid-day so I wasn't ready for a full meal. This was the only place I ate so you have to take this review in a vacuum. I could give more perspective if I tried a few other places in the area.

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.

THEN three main courses made with real care and skill -- lamb chops, duck, and veal cheeks. It is a family affair this place, humble and homey except if your mom was a European chef.

The owners are a very nice lot, talkative, funny, willing to explain their dishes and traditions to everyone who's not familiar with this hidden corner of Italy (like me). The atmosphere is very relaxed, cosy, a bit like grandmother's living room. Everything is home made here, including the bread and the fantastic lingue di suocera (a type of grissini). At alla Frasca you will be able to sample the traditional Friuli fare, but they proudly define themselves as a porcini mushroom-specialised restaurant. The porcini menu was AMAZING: grilled porcini on a skewer, porcini with polenta and cheese sauce, tagliatelle with porcini sauce. The wine selection is good too, try the local Cabernet-Franc. Cividale is a very pretty town to visit, full of history and monuments. If you chose to wander off here, make sure you visit Alla Frasca.
