On a recent trip to Venice we had lunch at Trattoria Rivetta, in a room full of gondolieri having their lunch break 🙂
Anyway, we had a most wonderful antipasto which was a "Carciofo fritto crema di Casatella e tuorlo d’uovo marinato". I'm not familiar with many artichoke recipes and this one was simply amazing. My questions:
– Is this a 'typical recipe' from Venice, or a specialty from this restaurant?
– From what I see there are some similar recipes, at least when it comes to the "carciofi fritti" part. Any recommendations for similar recipes?
Thanks!

I had never heard of fried carciofi in the veneto region so I don’t think it’s typical but I might be wrong. It is however very common to deep fry artichokes in Rome, called “carciofi alla Giudia” (artichokes the jew way) and those are amazing. They are very different from the photo however.
Fried artichokes are more associated with Roman cuisine.
