AL Trono di Attila

A pleasant surprise amidst our stroll in Torcello, Italy!
First, their seafood was simple yet done just right. We ordered a bowl of mussels in lemon broth, and it was by far one of the best mussel dishes I’ve ever had (and mind you, I love mussels and have had my share). The mussels were fresh and did not have any unpleasant after-​smell/​taste (which some mussels do). Furthermore, the broth was done perfectly, so much that I found myself dipping my bread into it just to have some more of it toward the end of the meal.
Second, their pastas are solid. We had both seafood pasta and the standard bolognese type. They were both tasty and adequately Italian/​authentic without throwing off our palate. Note, though, that the Italian concept of «seafood pasta» is slightly different from what Americans/​British are used to; instead of cooking the seafood fresh, the Italians seem to braise/​process them a bit before cooking. The end result is that the seafood in seafood pastas taste a bit different which might throw some people off.
Service was great too. The servers were prompt and friendly — which I found most Italian places to be in Venice.
When we went, there was a massive group lunch going on, most of whom seemed to be locals. For me, that’s a sure sign that this place does its things right.

Très bien situé sur le bord du canal, entre l’embarcadère et la cathédrale Santa Maria Assunta, le Trôné d’Attila offre une halte correcte pour le déjeuner. La terrasse est agréable, le service souriant et attentif, la cuisine tout à fait honnête — alors que nous sommes souvent mal tombés à Venise.

Wenn man vom Bootsanleger Richtung Basilica geht, ist es gleich das erste Lokal.
Insgesamt gibt es auf Torcello nur 4 Lokale. Davon sind die anderen drei preislich ziemlich indiskutabel, waren auch alle leer.
Im Trono di Attila kann man wunderschön im schattigen Garten sitzen und seinen Wein und seine Nudeln so richtig genießen. Urlaubsfeeling pur fernab von dem Getümmel in Venedig.
