had margherita in venice a few times, i'll take a slice from lorenzos any day of the week over that "pizza"
There is a huge difference between Italian Italian vs American Italian cuisine. Americans are much more heavy handed with the spices, garlic, etc. Much closer to southern Italy (Calabria and Sicily) which exerted the heaviest influence on American-Italian cuisine. I too had Margarita in Rome, Naples and Cosenza; it was better the further south by my American-Italian standards

wanted to go to rome, and always wanted to go to venice as well.. we were staying in lake como for easy access to milan for the italian grand grix at monza.. wasn't sure how long of a ride on the train it would be to get to rome, so we opted for venice.. i'm glad we went, but i'd never go back.. most user unfriendly city i've ever been to, super tourist trap feel to it, everything was pricey, on and on.. makes sense about the further south you go..
