My favourite Octopus salad with baby potatoes cooked in saffron
Average price Around € 55 pp (except wines)

Very creative chef who proposes a selection of good Venetian ingredients with a touch of originality. Menu changes depending on the season and the best way to eat is to allow the chef to offer you his best. Not to be missed is a bottle of Amarone Le Ragose with your dessert or ask the chef to create your menu around the wine. In the summer, tables available on the picturesque square.

My favourite Cicchetti and seafood fritto misto
Average price Around € 30 pp (except wines)

Typical Venetian “trattoria” where Venetians go with their own boats to enjoy a selection of regional wines accompanied by a variety of traditional Venetian chicchetti.  Full meals are also available and the seafood fritto misto (mixed deep fried) is excellent.
On weekends the beautiful atmosphere is enhanced by an old man playing piano and singing traditional Italian songs.
An ideal place after a visit of the Ghetto and the church of the Madonna dell’Orto.

 

SHOPS

NAPÈ

This is a small glass art gallery where modern Venetian glass from the past century has been selected by a passionate professional throughout many years. You can also find contempoary pieces. It's located very close to my house in Venice.

For a good Italian delicatessen on line go to Nife is Life. Best mozzarella if ordered Monday for Tuesday and Thursday for Friday delivery. Try their taralli di Patate and .... all is good.
