Cozza di Scardovari DOP mussels served in a light tomato broth at Ristò Italia

The Cozza di Scardovari DOP (a PDO-protected mussel farmed in the Scardovari lagoon) grows where the fresh water of the Po meets the Adriatic Sea, a unique balance that gives it its unmistakable sweetness and aroma.

At Ristò Italia we serve it in the simplest, most authentic way: in a light broth of fresh tomato, garlic and parsley, with bread to mop up the juices.

Try it also in our Pizza Ingorda (our loaded seafood pizza) or in the spaghetti alle vongole (spaghetti with clams), a house speciality.
