Venice: Aman Arva

The first evening we had dinner at the restaurant Arva. While the hotel was fully booked the restaurant was empty, only 3 tables were occupied.
While the restaurant is elegantly furnished the chairs were not comfortable. It was a bad seating position and to be honest I was glad when dinner was over. Perhaps comfort should be more important than design.

We started with bread.


There was no further Amuse Bouche.
Steamed mantis shrimps with pickled red chilli and lemon.

Pea soup with pea shoots and salted ricotta

Pasta with tomato (off the menu)

Bigoli with clams, red chilli and parsley

Turbot filet, green asparagus and wild garlic

Wild seabass, artichoke and "Bassano" pink onion

Sidedish: Fried courgette flower and Provola cheese

Petit fours

I canīt really remember what our dessert was.....

Our dinner was solid but nothing special. From outside I would surely not go to Avra.
