Romantic? <br />No. <br />ATMOSPHERIC! <br />Florian just reeks of gracious atmosphere. <br />And the service (compared to Angelina) is divine. <br />They treat everyone the same - with kindness and care. <br />There are no long lines or rushing about. <br />Simply serenity now.<br />Very well worth the mere 9 euros I paid, compared to a 60 euros gondola ride in my humble opinion.<br />There is no other place like it in Venice.<br />Or perhaps on the planet...<br />Tell me if you know of one please.<br />xCarolgParisbreakfastshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03558314043814894010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-80530724337100688152011-04-09T23:27:47.731-04:002011-04-09T23:27:47.731-04:00Harry The Many-Haired Cat says, "To heck with...Harry The Many-Haired Cat says, "To heck with Venice.

I am soon to be posting about Venice on my new food&travel blog. <br />I hope to go back next summer with my sister. I think it is definitely one place she should see. Our plan is to head to France after Venice, maybe a night in Milan before we do. So excited!<br />I love your blog and your book recommendations. I have never heard of Donna Leon's books. I will have to try the Venice cook book by her!<br /><br />here's my blog link if you're interested. I am relatively new to the blog world but I love to write and travel and of course eat!<br />canadianculinarytravel.blogspot.comMurissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17283958017487796952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-82953824310170554342011-04-09T12:51:50.570-04:002011-04-09T12:51:50.570-04:00Did they charge you to sit drinking your chocolate...Did they charge you to sit drinking your chocolate to the music? We had a lovely tea there, but an additional charge for music. We were willing to pay the price for the experience of a lifetime and to say we had tea at Cafe Florian.
