Bisatei - Campo San Bernardo 6 - Murano - Venezia - Tel. +39 041-739528.
Murano - Osteria La Perla Ai Bisatei. Murano
is the island north of Venice famous, for it’s hand blown glass and it is at
the Osteria La Perla Ai Bisatei where the workmen and the glass blowers, from
the nearby glass furnaces eat. A door in
the middle vaguely divides the restaurant, for the locals in the front and for
visitors, in an airy charmless room, in the back. Though there is little choice
on the menu, the meals are abundant and quite affordable for Venice. The decor
is simple, and on the tables rough butcher’s paper serve as mats. The service is fast and efficient and the
food is casalingo, home cooked and fresh.
The White Beans and
Onions are absolutely delicious.
Osteria La Perla Ai
Bisatei. Spahetti with Clams are among the fish dishes on the menu, as are the
hot and cold fish appetizers, Fritto Misto, Sarde in Saor, Baccala Mantecato
and Seafood Risotto.
Osteria La Perla Ai
Bisatei. The S Biscotti are the only
“dessert” on the menu. Though they originated on the nearby island of Burano,
the S cookies are considered typical Venetian.
They are best enjoyed tipped into a Vin Santo or a local white wine.
At lunch, Oro was a very
good boy!
