Thurs, 16 June 2016, 12:17 pm: Our nibbles at Cantina Do Mori are immediately followed by munchies at Cantina Do Spade, where all the cicchetti is deep-fried.
I couldn’t tell you what’s inside that greasy batter. The thing about deep-frying everything is that everything then looks alike. At 12:20 I select from the loaded plates spread on the table a round deep fried ball of… something. Could be anything in there. You’re in Venice, Matt. Man up and just chew.
12:24 pm: I follow the ball up with a deep fried sandwich. It has anchovy and tomato and mozzarella. (I think these sandwiches are what’s in the photo above.) A tablemate tells me the item I ate previously was olives with meat, deep fried in a round ball. I don’t even LIKE olives, and that thing was good. Had I known it had olives I probably wouldn’t have eaten it. See there? Might as well jump.
12:48 pm: All’ Arco is the third bacaro we visit on this “appetizers as lunch” tour. Want to see AND hear exactly what sorts of yummies are available today at All’ Arco?
