"Amazing food at Scopa Italian Roots restaurant this week. Hidden away in the streets of Venice with no signage, you might miss this Italian treasure if you're not in the know. My appetizers included Amberjack Crudo with farmer’s market cherry tomatoes, mixed olives, hearts on fire, basil oil, pickled shallots, the Fried Calamari with squid ink and lemon, and Crispy Squash Blossoms stuffed with ricotta, mozzarella, tomato and chili. The appetizers were all phenomenal. I started with the Amberjack which had the most attractive presentation. It was cool, light and refreshing and the touch of olive was divine. The calamari was definitely one for the books with its crispy, delicious batter and unusual look. The black squid ink added an element of fun to a traditional dish and the squash blossoms were delightful. They were hot, crispy and stuffed with mouthwatering cheeses. For my entrées I had the Veal Chop Milanese and a whole Branzino with fennel frond, lemon, basil with a side of Eggplant Caponata. The veal chop was legendary. The meat was tender inside and the breading was seasoned perfectly with a crisp outside. Each bite was better and better. I can honestly say after this experience that a veal chop is my all time favorite cut of meat. The Branzino was magnificent, presented  beautifully and cooked with love. The eggplant caponata was the perfect accompaniment to the dish. I throughly enjoyed each and every dish at Scopa Italian Roots. For more food reviews and pictures follow me on Instagram @Aimee.Eats"
