Antonino Astarita worked together to create new contemporary dishes for the Little Venice restaurant.

The lunch menu offers sumptuous edibles like peppered chicken breast with mixed greens in a lemon dressing, pizza topped with roasted peppers and sun-dried tomatoes or a smoked salmon pizza with provolone and garlic.

And dinner dishes like raw beef served on a bed of radicchio with mixed peppercorns in a lemon dressing, grilled fresh vegetables served in virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar, fresh salmon simmered in a tomato, olive and caper sauce or tubes of pasta tossed with beans and mussels in a white wine, cherry tomato and basil sauce will surely tempt your palate.

For the sweet tooth, try some fresh strawberries, profiteroles with chocolate sauce or the restaurant's dessert favorite -- tiramisu.

The Little Venice also serves light meals form 9:30 p.m. to midnight. Choose from a variety of pizza and calzones or try a dish from the ample selection of pastas which include rigatoni with red beans, sauteed calamari, garlic, rosemary and fresh tomatoes or the classic linguine with clams in a white wine sauce.

No matter what you select, you're sure to experience culinary delight when you visit the new Little Venice.
