Hi Jen and other CH refugees.
I had heard the same thing about Anice Stellato–that it had changed owners and gone downhill.
Vini da Gigio remains my favorite–so fresh, local and seasonal. We were last there in Spring '22 and it was excellent again. Here is a link to my blog from our last lunch there: https://keepyourfeetinthestreet.com/2022/04/one-great-lunch/
Alle Testiere: I have never had any less than a fabulous meal there but I’ve only been for lunch a handful of times.
I am very picky but I was disappointed in Alla Frasca. The menu, post-covid, was very limited the the food was underseasoned. It is a lovely spot to dine though.
Food at Ai Promessi Sposi has been consistently very good. I really love their frittura with great variety of fish. Pasta dishes are nice too but sometimes very rich.
I would also suggest Vino Vero for wine and creative cicchetti. They have a bunch of tables right on the canal, if you can snag one.
Where is your apartment, Jen?
