At La Loggia Bistro, the menu reads like a confident dialogue between tradition and contemporary finesse, with each dish showing careful restraint and clarity of flavor.
Among the antipasti, the rice polenta with trout in saor and caper leaves stands out for its balance of sweetness and acidity, a refined nod to Venetian heritage. The scampi sandwich surprises with its playful structure, where mango touched with Tabasco, crème fraîche, and lime lifts the natural sweetness of the shellfish. Equally compelling is the beef tartare, sharpened by pickled onion and enriched with a marrow béarnaise, while the fried layered potato adds welcome crunch.
The primi are precise and expressive. The lobster risotto is deep and aromatic, its rich fondo and tarragon giving it length and elegance. Spaghetti with smoked butter, beetroot, and raw scampi is daring yet harmonious, combining earthiness with briny freshness. The mezze maniche with datterino tomato cream and Puglian burrata is comforting without being predictable.
Main courses maintain the same discipline. Duck breast with black truffle mashed potatoes is polished and fragrant, while the Amarone-braised beef cheek offers slow-cooked intensity balanced by roasted cabbage and pumpkin. The pork belly, paired with red onion compote and celeriac, closes the menu with indulgent confidence.
