Al Gatto Nero da Ruggerio

This little gem on Burano isn't near the other restaurants, but that's okay. It forces you to stroll the lovely island, passing the candy-colored houses until you find it. The restaurant has a rustic charm and outstanding food, specializing in seafood dishes. The fritto misto is fried up in a light batter. The seafood risotto is in the creamy Venetian style and features tender morsels of local shrimp and fish. Our waiter was polite and seemed to enjoy speaking English. And the "owner", the eponymous Gatto Nero, sat next to us during our meal and found our conversation so boring that he determined it was time for a catnap! This wonderful trattoria is one of the few on this picturesque island. There's a wide price range here and a pretty extensive wine list. Their web page is: www.gattonero.com They're closed on Mondays.
