| - My friends and I stopped by Zeffirino in the Venetian for a quick lunch. We were seated upstairs, overlooking the gondola riders, which was very nice! Zeffirino offers different varieties of pasta dishes, soups, salads, and entrees such as chops and steak. I had the meatballs in a tomato sauce as well as the Filetto alla Ricca Piemontes, which had the pan seared beef tenderloin filet with marsala and rum, foie gras, fontina cheese with truffle, and sauteed porcini mushrooms; my friend had the Trofie alla Crema di Pesto con Patate e Fagiolini, which was pasta sautéed in a pesto cream sauce with potatoes and green beans; my other friend had the Risotto Gamberetti e Granchio, which was 'Azienda Agricola Rapio"Carnaroli rice with crab meat, shrimp, garlic, tomato, and white wine. A seafood salad was also ordered that had octopus, shrimp, and clams. For dessert, we shared a little trio with a bite-sized tiramisu and a sorbet cake. The dishes were okay, but more on the bland side, and some of the pasta were overcooked. The restaurant was dim-lit and the service was friendly. I'm glad I was able to check this place out!
