"While walking around on our last night in Venice, we stumbled on that valued but rare phenomenon known as, the perfect hole in the wall. That was Lorenzo 's place, Officina San Barnaba. Lorenzo was incredibly friendly and welcoming. When we asked for a couple spritz beverages, he added a few small sandwich bites to complete the aperitivo experience. So, of course we ordered a bigger plate of prosciutto and cheese, which was prepared carefully with fresh food, and arranged beautifully on a large plate. We cleaned that plate. During our visit, Lorenzo checked up on us. Furthermore, we were sitting in the back of his place, which was essentially outside, so he brought out an insect-repellant candle to help with mosquitoes. Lorenzo was very patient as we put together our questions and statements in our beginners ' level Italian, and we were able to communicate just fine. Please, please do go to see him. His place is small, but his heart is big."
