“Spaghetti in Black Octopus Ink/gnocci, Some other Restaurant in Venice” – was it a small dark lit restaurant with dark wood trim located closer to Strada Nuova and not near the main tourist areas? I shared in those dishes and it was the ONLY great meal I had in Venice, could be one of the same.

I do remember the dark wood trim, and it was a bit off from the main tourists area. Though I don’t think it was near the Strada Nuova area.
