OSTERIA FANAL DEL CODEGA

Italian, Seafood

Perfectly situated for a lovely dinner, on the canal, this restaurant is serving up fresh, Italian fare. With the delightful service, great portions, and peaceful ambiance, it’s a great spot for dinner while in Venice. My advice: try anything on the menu with fresh seafood or truffles!

AI MERCANTI

Italian

Ai Mercanti has amazing handmade pasta and an extensive wine list—the perfect Italian dinner if you ask me. The restaurant is tucked away, but a true gem.

CA DOLFIN

Italian

The service here is top-notch! Come for fresh seafood dishes, handmade pasta, and all sorts of Italian classics. Be sure to make a reservation in advance!

DALLA MARISA

Italian

This is another well-known local spot known for some of the most authentic Italian food in the city. Be prepared for slightly unhelpful service, but incredible food. Especially the risotto secoe, made with fatty beef spine.

PARADISO PERDUTO

Italian

This spot is a party nonstop from Thursday to Monday morning. Filled with students, professors, poets, and musicians, it’s a local legend. Plus you can get spaghetti that’s cooked in a 40kg wheel of cheese until it’s coated in cheese.

PASTICCERIA TONOLO

Bakery

Locals love this breakfast spot. It serves some of the best Essi biscuits, a lemony treat that’s in the shape of an S. People tend to stop in for a coffee and end up leaving with a box of goodies for their family.

GELATERIA IL DOGE

Gelato, Dessert

Said to be one of the best gelato places in Venice, this is the perfect place to indulge your sweet tooth.
