Osteria Alla Staffa

Local cuisineLocals' pick

A small, spartan neighbourhood osteria behind the Ospedaletto in Castello, anchored to local tradition: VeneziaToday lists it among the places Venetians themselves choose for seppie al nero and fegato alla veneziana with soft polenta. Wooden tables and paper mats; cicchetti such as nervetti, spienza and baccala are eaten at the counter or out in the calle.
