Dear Chowhounders, I am Lew P.'s son, in Venice all fall, and am just coming back from my second visit to Ostaria La Zucca. Allow me to especially recommend the spiced fennel with olives and the precious cipollini. But you've...

think my points about the menu subterfuge- the waiter telling us it was “roasted” corn when it was almost raw and flavorles- hold. I am glad you've had better experiences with The Harrison.However, I will not be going...

that brings up a good point – what are folks favorite non-pho, non-banh mi, non-pasteur, non already covered (i.e. non-nhu hoa) vietnamese places? I've had a couple good meals at thai binh (which i think also has signage...
