Flooding in Venice can't stop pizzeria from serving customers in ankle-deep water
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A Venice pizzeria was open for business this week despite ankle-deep water from violent rainstorms that left three-quarters of the Italian city flooded.
The bizarre scene inside the pizzeria at the Piazza San Marco was captured on cell phone video Monday that has since gone viral.

It was the worst flooding seen in Venice for at least a decade.
Meanwhile, the Italian Civil Protection Agency said Tuesday that the death toll from the fierce storms battering Italy rose to 11.
