Fish
Clams Venetian Style
Venetians have their choice of clams, from the little rounded hard-shell clams called vongole veraci to the pencil-thin razor clams called cannelli that are usually split, brushed with butter and grilled briefly. Cannelli do not travel, however, and are a treat to be enjoyed in Venice. Instead, Francesco offers vongole […]

Venetian Seafood Stew
“Seafood stews are not easy to make because you really have to cook each kind of fish separately so that nothing is overcooked,” Francesco advises. The end result is fresh, light, and simple. Some tiny red potatoes, like the ones that beckon invitingly from the baskets in Venice’s Rialto market, […]
Sweet and Sour Codfish
Gadus Morhua Codfish in oil, served with sweet and sour sauce made with Dutch rhubarb, onion of Montoro, Ribera oranges and raspberry vinegar, flavored with Melissa. The light acidity of French rhubarb, the sweetness of Sicilian oranges, and the minty flavor of melissa –almost hinting to the sweetness of vanilla– […]
Venetian Whole Fish in Parchment
Cooking fish in a parchment wrap is essentially a method of steaming. Francesco urges that the whole fish, not just fillets or steaks, be use. “You need the bones and it has to be thick so you can get all the succulence and flavor,” he says. The touch of citrus […]
Venetian Sea Scallops with Bean Cream
In Tuscany the white bean (cannellini) is king, but Venice prefers the variegated pinto or borlotti bean. “We never saw white beans in Venice when I was growing up,” Francesco says. In this dish a puree of the beans becomes the velvety, herb-infused sauce for meaty seared scallops. Sea Scallops […]
Venetian Fried Calamari
It’s nice to serve fried calamari on a sheet of parchment paper. The paper not only adds an inviting note of informality but also helps absorb any excess oil from the crisp fried rings of squid. And for Francesco, it adds a Proustain touch. “When I was a kid and […]
Venetian Brochette of Swordfish
Deftly skewering an assortment of ingredients and then searing them on the grill makes for attractive presentation. Francesco alternates colorful vegetables- some raw, some cooked- with fish, and lightly coats them with bread crumbs before grilling. He uses long bamboo skewers that have been soaked in cold water and threads […]
Venetian Salmon With Horseradish Sauce
Horseradish, called “cren” in the Alto Adige, is often used in the region around Venice. It’s one example of the influence of Austrian cooking in this multicultural region. But in Venice, the ferocious flavor and aroma of freshly grated horseradish is tamed with apple and vinegar- another application of seductive sweet […]
