Creamy vialone nano risotto (risotto al nero di seppia on the lagoon, radicchio and red wine in the plains, or asparagus in spring), thick whole-wheat bigoli in duck ragù or anchovy-onion salsa, and Alpine cornmeal polenta (€9–€14). Because San Biagio di Callalta sits in northern Italy's alpine/pre-alpine belt, cooler months emphasize butter-and-sage finishes, buckwheat or cornmeal polenta, and melted mountain cheeses.

3. Local Cheeses, Cured Meats, Bakery Breads & Wine
Aged Asiago and Monte Veronese mountain cheeses, red tardivo radicchio, white Bassano asparagus, soft soppressa salami, flaky zaletti cornmeal cookies, and local glasses (ombre) of Prosecco, Soave, or Valpolicella Ripasso.
