Trattoria alla Rampa

Trattoria alla Rampa, located in the Castello district of Venice, is a modest, unchanged establishment that serves up authentic Venetian cuisine. The ambiance is lively and frenetic, with locals and workers enjoying their mid-day glasses of white wine at the bar while diners feast on traditional dishes in the back. The interior design is simple and unpretentious, but the food is what steals the show. The menu features local specialties such as spaghetti al nero di seppia (squid ink spaghetti) and baccalà mantecato (creamed cod) with polenta, as well as seafood pasta and veal scaloppino. Prices are reasonable for the area, and the staff is friendly and attentive. They also offer carafes of excellent red and white wines to accompany your meal. Trattoria alla Rampa is a great spot to experience true Venetian cuisine and atmosphere, away from the tourist crowds.
