Cheap and tasty in the big 3

Select Italy @4SQ: At lunchtime they offer rice croquettes, hot and cold dishes and primi piatti such as pasta or gnocchi (tasty potato dumplings) to eat in or carry out -- get there early, though; it's always packed!

Select Italy @4SQ: Try the duck roasted with five spices served in a maple syrup sauce! The dessert menu offers suggestions for the best glass of wine to accompany each sweet. Best quality/price!

Select Italy @4SQ: Tripe is the daily special on Thursdays and on Fridays it's baccala' (cod fish). Their juicy bistecca alla fiorentina is justly famous but must be ordered one day in advance. International wine list.

Select Italy @4SQ: Try the ravioli verdi alla casalinga (spinach ravioli in tomato sauce), risotto ai funghi (rice with porcini mushrooms) and the delicious entrecote di manzo arlecchino, delicious!

Select Italy @4SQ: Family-owned osteria that offers typical Venetian dishes and appetizers made from only fresh ingredients. Try the lasagne with scallops, pasta with red chicory from Treviso and the homemade tiramisu!

Select Italy @4SQ: Chicheti (Venetian tapas) are king here and over 15 different types are offered. Pasta dishes are simple but tasty, and the baked scampi with fried vegetables is a popular second course. Yummy!
