"Some of you may have noted my recent absence in writing reviews in English for families travelling in the Veneto and in Italy in general. I am back in the saddle and so must share a recent experience. At the Marian shrine of Cendrole beloved by Saint Pope Pius X, directly across the street is a wine cellar producer which in the dialect is Caneva, hence the name of the trattoria. In early May for lunch I took my son and a cousin to eat there. The food was excellent value as follows: bread, linen service, mineral or plain bottled water, wine (Cabernet Franc local), first plate, second plate, vegetable side dish, coffee and desert for 15 Euros a head. The first dishes were a choice of vegetable sauce fusilli, Bolognese pasta, lasagne... The second dishes included a fantastic rabbit stew with polenta... The vegetable side dish of cornet beans was one amongst many. I love being able to have vegetables as a side compared to ordinary salads restaurants are wont to provide. Dessert anyone? Oink, oink! Home made tiramisu ', strawberry cheesecake... The kids can run around outside on the shrine 's grounds while the parents rest their stomachs."
