Trattoria da Gelindo In Spinea

27/03/2025: If you are in Mestre there are 3 reasons: you wanted to go to Venice but you got lost; you learned about the existence of the M9, the multimedia museum of the 20th century; You work there or live there and you can't escape. In all this, the "da Gino" tavern is a happy island: an "old-style" tavern with furnishings that recall the historic ones of Bologna or Trieste. It is very popular for both lunch and dinner. The owner Maurizio is a large man with white hair, severe but kind, almost always slyly at the counter. The staff in the room are attentive, smiling and quick. The chef comes from Venetian restaurants and can prepare a fish pie or risotto, as well as spectacular beef stew. The menu does not change often according to the seasons. In this period you can find asparagus with eggs or risotto. For second courses they have excellent Iberian meat and ham and medium-aged cheeses. Oh I forgot! The walls are covered with excellent bottles of wine, there are two fridges full of excellent bubbles and you can spend a little or a lot depending on how much you understand... In short, super recommended to try.
