La Peca

Overlooking attractive rolling hills, La Peca has long been a bastion of top-quality cuisine full of strong and decisive flavours, which aims to satisfy the palate without resorting to unnecessary frills. The extensive selection includes tasting menus and an à la carte, making it impossible to list all the dishes we found memorable. However, special mention should go to the Laguna Veneta seafood antipasto, as well as the extraordinary risotto with guinea fowl, leeks and Garganega grape must, and the classic wholewheat bigoli pasta with anchovies, featuring the creative addition of red onion ice-cream, marinated anchovies and anchovy crostini. The main dishes include the excellent mallard duck, as well as fish such as barbecued eel with radicchio, apple and horseradish. The restaurant has always been strong on desserts, serving memorable options such as a reinterpreted cassata, Mont Blanc and an extraordinary choice of ice-creams and sorbets. The impressive wine cellar features around 2 000 different labels.
