Traditional Veneto cooking and restaurants: Toni del Spin in Treviso

posted: Friday 11 December 2009 by Giorgio in: Veneto Emilia Romagna Restaurants

Not far from Venice, there’s a lovely town called Treviso famed for its fabulous wines and delicious dishes from the traditional Veneto cuisine; one of the best trattorias in town is the famous Toni del spin (the name in the local dialect means fish spine) where guests are treated to a feast of huge helpings of pigeon soup, artichoke zuppa and delicious gnocchetti made from potatoes and squash (and with a sprinkle of ricotta cheese on the top). This trattoria is also renowned for its polenta-based dishes, exquisite sopressata (pork meat salted and dried) and a divine dessert made from mascarpone which they usually serve with exquisite melt in your mouth biscuits!
