I am also guessing Alle Testiere. The ginger and cinnamon--and many of the names for shellfish-- are certainly a clue that this is in Venice! I am not sure that schie come from anywhere but the Venetian lagoon.
Sounds scrumptious!

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR HELP !!! I am italian/american BUT when my greatgrandmother and then my grandfather died nobody spoke italian only amongest themselves in the family ..my greatgrandmother and her children. I only wish I learned the language. I have much respect for people who can speak numerous languages.
Yes,the resturant is in Venice and yes it is "Alle Testiere"
Again much thanks to all who tried to help and I would never ask a question and not say thank you for help. If I could help anyone on these boards at some time I woill gladly do so. I am headed on my 5 year anniversary ( a month late ) I will be flying to Italy on May 14 and arrive in Venice on may 15 and stay in Venice until Sunday May 18 and then take the train from Venice to Rome and then leave back to go home on May 23.

You're welcome.
I found out that caparozzoli are a type of small clams, like vongole veraci.
It's very difficult to find the meaning of some of these very specific food words--many found only in the Venetian lagoon.

Grits aren't cornmeal? That's news to me.
I thought that grits were coarsely ground cornmeal. The first time I had polenta, I said, "this is grits!" And my friend told me yes, just usually ground a little finer. Maybe my friend was wrong about the similarity, but they taste the same to me.
