$$$$, Italian, San Marco
Fodor's Review:
Opened in the 19th century as a small osteria, the "Bunch of Grapes" became the meeting place of artists and movie stars back in the 1960s. Today, it serves a faithful clientele of wealthy Italians. The decor is a miscellanea of plants, sculpture, candlelight, and paintings set against brick and white-stucco walls. The owner, Lucio Zanon, speaks fluent English and will introduce you to a wide-ranging menu of fresh pasta, seasonal risotto, and meat and seafood. A treat in late spring is the thick white asparagus from Bassano, which, with a couple of fried eggs, is eaten as a main course. Desserts are all homemade.

Good food and service.....but
Posted by Richard from Coral Gables, FL on 6/6/06
No strangers to fine dining, while Al Graspo de Ua delivers on the fine dining experience, we experienced equally good service and food for much less Euros. Not necessarily pretentious, but a bit over the top for the prices. The again, it is Venice....Have you ever cried after a meal?

One of the worlds best.Not stuffy and pretentious.Lucio makes you feel like you are feasting in your local restaurant except the food is indescribably delicious.Tira Misu to die for!!
