Canaletto

Canaletto is located in the Grand Canal Shoppes at the Venetian Hotel and Casino. They have private dining areas, along with patio dining in St. Mark Square. 

We enjoy Canaletto for their food and service. We usually go on our anniversary, and reserve the private dining room on the second floor overlooking St. Mark Square. This year we decided to reserve a table in the dining room. As always we had excellent service and the food was amazing! 

Their menu was cut down from their normal menu:

Always have to have wine when we go. They have an amazing selection of wines!

This visit we orders several dishes and shared it!

 OMG, the food was amazing!

Below is:

Prosciutto San Daniele: Sliced at the moment, served with housemade breadsticks, Cornichon and Grana Padano!

This dish was amazing! The prosciutto was soft, and flavorful!

Below is:

Calamaretti Fritti: Baby squid lightly floured & deep-fried; served with grilled polenta & spicy marinara sauce.

The calamari, was tender and light. The polenta was amazing paired with the calamari and the marinara sauce.

Below is:

Capricciosa Pizza: Imported ham, mushrooms, artichokes, mozzarella, kalamata olives, oregano & tomato sauce.

We had never ordered pizza here before, but we decided to try. It was great! We took home half of the pizza, because we had more food coming. I don't know what we were thinking, but the food is so good, we always want to try everything!

Below is:

Gamberoni alla Busara: Giant prawns sautéed with paprika, garlic, capers, marinara, brandy & cream; served with spaghetti tossed with garlic, extra-virgin olive oil & Calabrian peperoncino

There were four prawns,  so we each could have 2. They were amazing. The sauce had brandy in it, of course it was great! The noodles were done perfectly! This was amazing!

Next we moved on to dessert! Yes we are crazy!

Below is the dessert menu. They have amazing desserts, how could we choose?

Before we could decide, they brought over chocolate gelato for our anniversary!

So we decided to just order 2 Macciatos to go with our gelato.

This restaurant is fantastic, when we walk by our mouth waters, because we know how amazing the food is. 

Even with the restaurant slow, they didn't overwhelm us and we could enjoy the food, and atmosphere! 

If you are looking for a place for a celebration or just for good food you need to try Canaletto, you won't  be disappointed.
