Corte Sconta
The Cut· research-verified, not yet visited
A garden-courtyard seafood trattoria in Castello, hidden behind an unmarked door. Long, late, wine-drenched dinners.
Calle del Pestrin, Castello, behind a door with no sign. Once inside, a tiled courtyard with about a dozen tables under a wisteria-strung pergola. The kitchen sends out a parade of seafood antipasti: twelve to fifteen small plates, in sequence, from raw scampi to baby octopus to salt-cured mackerel. Then a pasta (the spaghetti with bottarga is the classic). Then a fish second. Two-and-a-half hours, easily. Still hard to find. Reservations essential. Closed Sundays + Mondays + most of August.
