Superba Snack Bar  Venice  www.superbasnackbar.com

sum up: A pastaria by the beach mixing Old World technique with New World style. Come for the extraordinary pasta, stay for the housemade charcuterie and produce-driven dishes.  Thanks to Chef Jason Neroni's culinary chops, this neighborhood joint is jumpin' jumpin'. 

looks: Sun-soaked by day, candlelit by night, the award-winning interior is cool without being cold, thanks to an open-kitchen, communal tables, and Mexican blankets to keep you warm on chilly nights.  Nab a seat on the patio to watch Venice skate and strut by.
