Massimo is a rare breed in Italy. Taking pride in his position as the latest, and perhaps sadly, the last in a long line of sailors in his family.

    "A Sailor's Night", Wonderful Local Food This night was not like any other night in Venice. It was absolutely amazing! We arrived at the apartment a little late, but this was absolutely no problem. We felt very welcome, and the party started immediately. We were served amazing food and drinks. Massimo and the girls took good care of us during the whole evening. Not only was the food fantastic, but also meeting people from other countries and sharing stories with them was very fun and interesting. Dining here is absolutely recommend

    This evening was one of the highlights of our travels. We joined with 5 others for a feast prepared in the sailor's apartment, who is a merchant marine. The food and wine were excellent. The stories and the conversation with all were memorable It's s an evening we will never forget. Highly recommended.
