What do you do when you've had a few canal-side dinners and been sightseeing all day? What do you do when you've spent all day looking at Venice's stunning beauty, and you are suffering from 'gallery back'? Maybe you've already had a canal-side romantic dinner or two, and had a few drinks at one of the livelier bars or enoteche. You want something animated, maybe a more...

Antiche Carampane, San Polo

Deep in Casanova's old stomping ground and the historical red light district This restaurant is in the area of Venice's historical red light district and Casanova's old stomping ground. Near here, that poor misjudged man allegedly seduced a nun. We all know him for his sexploits, but who knows that he was a scholar too, and no doubt between liaisons, he translated the more...
Restaurant: Alla Mascareta, Castello

Where food meets entertainment Everyone wants different things from a restaurant. Everyone can agree on great food, ambience, attentive service, but dig down into great food and differences start to emerge. Our definition is great Italian food-classical or modern. With regard to ambience, things get more difficult. There’s the type of ambience you might wish for a more...
Osteria Bancogiro, San Polo
By Editor at December 1, 2010 | 09:36 | 0 Comment
Near Rialto Campo San Giacometto is close to Rialto bridge and home to several cicchetti (Venetian tapas) bars. It also neighbours on the Rialto fish market. But our focus today is one of the cicchetti bars that doubles as a restaurant, normally with the bar downstairs and restaurant upstairs-or outside. The Osteria Bancogiro is in the eponymous building that houses more...
Al Muro, San Polo

Where Venetians eat their lunch Right by Rialto fish market is the A Muro restaurant and cafe. It’s more fun in summer perhaps when the genial owners set up a stall in the middle of the Campo and serve steaming dishes of risotto, fritto misto or ghoulash, but all year round this trendy venue offers great value for money. Downstairs you can buy snacks like more...

You are in Italy so why choose Japanese? You are in Italy, a country renowned for its great food, and in Venice, arguably the most romantic city of all, so why on earth should you wish to go to a Japanese restaurant and,even more so, one that is part of a chain? We can think of a few reasons. You might be in Venice for several days, and want something light and more...
Osteria Anice Stellato, Cannaregio
By Editor at November 24, 2010 | 16:47 | 0 Comment
This restaurant has been around a long time and remains a firm favourite with locals and those tourists lucky enough to discover it. The reasons why are simple enough. The owners steer clear of the pile ‘em high and serve ‘em cheap mentality, instead concentrating on creative cooking using the finest ingredients. The extensive menu covers seafood and meat and the more...
Pizzeria Trattoria La Perla, Cannaregio

Children in tow, no time for delays Arriving late in Venice one Friday with two hungry children in tow meant urgent decision-making and something that would be served reasonably quickly. Enter the Pizzeria La Perla, located in a side street in Cannaregio. Excellent quality pizzas, good prices, children welcome The decor is pleasant but slightly spartan and the locale more...
