However, it is not the best I have had as many rave in other comments. i think there is some grade inflation in the overall score for Da Carla. Polite, professional service. The menus have multiple language translations, so ordering was easy. I enjoyed my meal here and could come again but I will also explore other loactions around Mestre.

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.

Nicola and Saor were our hosts and kept our tables well served through and through. Saor ran us through the options and we ended up ordering the following: Green beans with almond, grilled fennel with walnuts, lentils and stuffed mushrooms. You really cannot go wrong with any of these as how they were severed though my personal favorite were the lentils and the fennel. Absolutely recommend the place and their hosts and as well the ambiance that you get in a subtle kind of quite part of the town. Just do it!!

** in Italiano sotto*…read more A classic! One of the most traditional Trieste Eateries, and a must visit when in town. Scarpon has been there forever, offering a homey feeling, no big scenes, no pretentiousness, just very good food at very good price and a friendly service. Scarpon has plenty of traditional Trieste dishes, but specializes in fish and seafood, so indulge, because this quality at these prices is very hard to find. I can't even suggest what you eat, haven't had anything that wasn't very good. If you visit from the USA you will probably pass out when you see the price of the branzino here: we are talking about a great fish offered at US hamburger prices! Scarpon is a legend in Trieste and for good reasons! *** Scarpon e' uno dei locali tradizionali di Trieste. Senza tanti fronzoli e sceneggiate gourmet, Scarpon offre ottimi piatti ad ottimi prezzi. Potrete provare diversi piatti classici Triestini ma la specializzazione qui e' il pesce: sempre buono, sempre ben curato, prezzi davvero piu' che ragionevoli. L'atmosfera e' famigliare, rilassata, ma il servizio e' sempre attento; cordialita' senza strafare, praticamente perfetto. Cosa provare? Potrei dire tutto, ma diciamo che dovrete provare i vari antipasti di mare, il pesce intero sia branzino, o orata o rombo e fanno delle ottime paste con i frutti di mare. Assolutamente da visitare se siete a Trieste e soprattutto se avete voglia di pesce buono senza lasciarci mezza paga.
