The story

About the dish

Crab meat brings delicate sweetness while crab bisque concentrates the shellfish’s savory character and gives the tagliolini a glossy coating. Fresh tomatoes add acidity and juiciness, garlic warms the base, and basil finishes the pasta with a green perfume.

The alla Veneziana name looks toward a food culture shaped by water and trade. Venezia Unica describes Venetian cooking as a meeting of lagoon fish and game, island vegetables, rice, spices and ingredients carried to the city from across the Mediterranean and beyond. Crab, tomato and herbs express that sea-facing character in a direct, vivid way.
