La Bitta Review

The decor is more discreet, the dining hours longer, and the service friendlier and more efficient here than in many small restaurants in Venice—and the creative non-fish menu is a temptation at every course. You can start with a light salad of Treviso radicchio and crispy bacon, followed by smoked-beef carpaccio or gnocchetti ubriachi al Montasio (small, marinated gnocchi with Montasio cheese). Then choose a secondo such as lamb chops with thyme, anatra in pevarada (duck in a pepper sauce), or Irish Angus fillet steak. Secondi are served with vegetables, which helps bring down the price. The restaurant is open only for dinner, but serves much earlier and later than most, continuously from 6:30 to 11.
