Must eat
Venice is not only Biennale or Film Festival but more and more a gastronomic destination. Everywhere you will find fegato alla veneziana, sarde in saor, seppie in nero, baccalà mantecato o moscardini con polenta. Here are our favorite places among restaurants, osterie and bacari.
Ristorante Da Raffaele (Salmaso Family)
Run by our family since more than 70 years. Traditional seafood cuisine with tables overlooking one of the most picturesque canals of Venice with continuous passage of gondolas. Special 10% discount for our guests.
Osteria al Bacareto
Restaurant run by Venetians since long ago and highly appreciated by our guests. Numerous outdoor tables from which you can enjoy the local life. At the bar counter you will always find lots of homemade cicchetti.
Osteria di Santa Marina
Elegant restaurant with large summer outdoor area. Creative Venetian cuisine revisited by chef Agostino. Reservations recommended.
Osteria da Bepi - già 54
Loris is the true old-time host, always present at Rialto Market. Here you will find true lagoon specialties and the freshest fish.
Ristorante Rosa Rossa
Young chef Giammarco presents traditional cuisine with a modern look in an intimate atmosphere.
Trattoria Anzolo Raffaele
A delightful corner off the busy Venice, but a stone's throw from Zattere. Venetian/Friuli flavors with Sardinian forays dear to sommelier Luigi. If you choose this restaurant, don't miss a visit to our favorite church, San Nicolò dei Mendicoli.
Ristorante Local
Trendy with a stylish atmosphere. Brings local traditions and ingredients to the table with new cooking techniques.
Ristorante La Feluca
Run by Giacomo and his lovely family of Calabrian origin. Meat and fish specialties served with excellent wines.
Osteria Da Rioba
Tables at water level on the picturesque Fondamenta della Misericordia. Excellent wine cellar. We love this place... and Eloisa too!
Osteria L’Orto dei Mori
10 meters from the Tintoretto's house and out of the city center. Offers cuisine that is attentive and respectful of raw materials. Outdoor tables on the atmospheric Campo dei Mori... and don't forget to catch a glimpse of the Moro's nose on the corner!
Osteria La Zucca
A short walk from the charming Campo San Giacomo Da L'Orio. Vegetarian food made with fresh seasonal vegetables and natural ingredients.
Osteria alla Vedova
Intimate bacaro on Strada Nova, decorated as it once was with copper pots. The menu offers the best meatballs in all of Venice accompanied by house red wine.
Al Mercà (Bacaro)
There's always queue but it's totally worth it for an aperitif of Venetian cicchetti in Rialto area.
Cantine da Schiavi
Legendary bacaro among Venetians. Wines by the glass and homemade cicchetti. Before you start drinking go see the wonderful gondola squero a few steps away.
