La Zucca

This is an essentially vegetarian restaurant with a simple décor, lattice-wood walls and windows overlooking the canal. Meat dishes are also served here but are not their specialty. The expertise here is produce from the garden. A must eat is the radicchio di Treviso con funghi e scaglie di Montasio, a dish with mushrooms and shavings of Montasio cheese and the finocchi piccanti con olive or fennel in a spicy tomato-olive sauce. Reservations are required. .
