Vittoriosa, Malta (aka Birgu)

Lunch:  Osteria VE

Have you ever eaten a meal in the middle of a steep stairway?  After today, we have. This quaintest of quaint restaurants is owned by a Venetian couple that makes food simply using fresh ingredients.  Tom had the gnocchi in tomato ragù while I had the bogoli pasta (thick spaghetti noodles) in duck ragù.  When I ordered the bogoli the owner/waiter kissed his fingers in approval in the Italian way to say that this is the best.  He added that it is a specialty dish of Venice so I made sure I finished it.
