Enoteca San Marco is set in St Mark's Square, albeit a tiny and sad version. However, you've got to love the cheesy Caesar's Palace imitation sky!
We started with their selection of sliced meats. All of the classics were there and surprising really excellent quality. They went very well with a nicely priced Chianti. Unfortunately those were the stars of the show.
We followed with two classic Italian pasta dishes. Cacio e Pepe and
Bucatini Amatriciana. Both were mediocre and lacked the bold flavors that these dishes are typically known for. Maybe they were toning them down for their diverse clientele, unfortunately they missed the mark.
Otherwise the service was good, except when he was talking and a bit of spit shot at me and hit me in the face! This was an accident, but what do you do? If you immediately swipe at your face he will know it touched down in an unfortunate spot. Do you leave it there until he walks away to avoid the awkward moment?
So I froze. He quickly departed after that and I was clear to casually take care of the situation.
