Bar Caffetteria Gentile In Martellago

29/06/2024: The 7th restaurant in my 11 restaurant ‘eating Venice’ extravaganza Osteria Bancogiro delivered. Located in close proximity to the Rialto Market and bridge, it’s situated in a really historic building, where in the past rich Venetians would use a messaging system to collect credits and pay debts, not liking to handle money personally. It’s a beautiful and atmospheric location to eat Venetian food. Like all my previous restaurants, my table had been booked months in advance, and reconfirmed a few days before. The comprehensive menu had plenty of choice, but with a twist. Thumbing through the pages I opted for the Scallops and Rhubarb cevicé and home made Bigola (thick spaghetti like pasta) with Lobster Sauce, Cavier and Zucchini and for dessert, an interesting looking Bavarian Mascarpone Cake with Cocoa, Maple Syrup and Truffle. Each dish was beautifully presented and tasted fantastic, everything was obviously fresh and the chefs skill obvious. Wine was a local Chardonnay which matched beautiful. I have to say, the dessert was particularly interesting with the savoury truffle notes balancing the sweetness of the Mascarpone and Maple Syrup 10/10 another standout place to eat. Service was relaxed and friendly, food knockout and reasonably priced for the quality.
