This is by far our favourite restuarant in town if you want a "not fancy" place, managed by a lovely family where food is amazing at a very fair price! Don't miss Baccalà Mantecato, Lasagne di pesce and Tiramisu! House wine (prosecco) is a very good choice!

City advice
Don't miss
Don't miss the old fishmarket
It's small but so cute still! Venice has an amazing old fishmarket, more than 1000 years old. It lies close to Rialt bridge and there you can buy fresh fish. Try it!
Book before you go
Doge's Palace - Palazzo Ducale
Book it in advance before it's too late! Don't miss Palazzo Ducale, one of the most beautiful palaces in the world!
