OH LOOK I FOUND A TRAVEL CAT. This is Signore Marmellata. (My name for him.)

Signore Marmellata lives in a tiny trattoria—Trattoria Maddalena—on the little island of Mazzorbo, which is attached to the only-slightly-better-known Venetian lagoon island of Burano by a small pedestrian bridge.

Signore Marmellata is sad if you consider ordering anything but the tiny gamberetti shrimps with polenta, or fried soft-shell crabs with home-grown artichokes, if they're on the menu. Signore Marmellata respects your choices, though. Even if you're not having the profiteroles.

Travel journalist John Walton blogs at 44john.com. He met Signore Marmellata during a recent trip to Venice. For more from John, he's @thatjohn on Twitter and Instagram.
