trattoria NOBILDUCA

trattoria NOBILDUCA is one of my favourite Italian restaurants in the town. It has a nice harbour view, superb service and certainly, excellent food. The restaurant is quiet and the space feels relaxed.

With glasses of red wine we enjoyed an amuse as we waited for our entree.
Toast topped with sardine preserved in Venetian style
Good to see sardine on the menu, it's an excellent fish that still seems to not get the recognition it deserves. A lovely dish with clean flavours.
Seafood cooked with rich tomato sauce and herbs
I grabbed most of the clams because they were the best in this dish, fresh and sweet to taste. The calamari and other seafood were also very good but the clams were certainly the star.
U.S. Angus rib-eye 'Tegliata' with grilled vegetables
Crispy puff pastry with mascarpone and strawberry paste
The paste was not too sweet and yet very soft to taste. The coldness of the cream echoed well with the crispy pastry. Impossible to resist!
