Bar Bollicine snack bar
Thursday continued
On the way back to the Grand Canal, we stopped for lunch
at Bar Bollicine. Other than meals in airports or train stations,
it was the least expensive and least interesting meal of the trip. The
total for our meal was 23 euros.
I had the antipasto di mare (seafood appetizer) and Linda
had the prosciutto (pizza with tomato, mozzarella, oregano & ham).
This was the first restaurant where I had seen spritz
listed on the menu and I had been wanting to try the Venetian aperitif.
I didn't cared much for the liquor mixed with white wine and sparkling
mineral water.
antipasto di mare (9 €)
On our walk back to the Grand Canal, we liked the way the light was
reflecting on the bottom of this bridge
