text: Went to Veneto Trattoria last Sunday for dinner on the recommendation of the concierge at the Phoenician and I wasn't disappointed. The old go-to was Voce (which was originally LeccaBaffi when we used to frequent it), but it seemed like the quality had gone down over the last couple of visits there. As critical as it sounds, I really look for Italian places that actually do their own homemade pasta as a sign of a decent place. \n\nThe wife and I celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary here for dinner and decided to go with a couple things to share. We started with the Pasta e Fasioi which was delicious as a soup starter to share. The wife went with the Fettuccine al sugo d'anitra which was homemade fettuccine with a braised duck sauce. The dish was good, but both of us agreed that it wasn't what we expected. The duck was diced up into cubes in the sauce and we both were thinking it would have been more like a fork tender slow cooked duck sauce. I opted for the Tagliatelle con Calamari which was superb. The noodles were made and prepared to perfection and cooked al dente. The Calamari was prepared perfectly and not hard and rubbery like most preparations. We opted to share an order of the osso bucco for a main dish (Wow, we sure did have bigger eyes than our stomachs). The Osso Bucco was excellent as well and extremely tender. \n\nFor dessert, the tiramisu was creamy and topped with both a chocolate and coffee/espresso sauce that took the dish to a whole new level. Top all of that off with excellent service and a complimentary piece of homemade tiramisu for our anniversary and we have a winner of a place to come back and visit again.
