Venice Dining

A few pointers on Italian dining propriety: menus are posted outside most restaurants (in English in tourist areas); if not, you might step inside and ask to take a look at the menu, but don't ask for a table unless you intend to stay. A cafés is like a bar but usually with more tables to sit down. Many cafés have limited restaurant licenses that allow them to serve hot pasta dishes. Note that in some places you must pay before you place the order and be ready to show your receipt when you move to the counter.

Cheap and cheerful lunch

Some of the best deals are available at lunchtime - but never in restaurants displaying the dreaded menu turistico sign. What is known as a menu operai - a hearty set lunch for workers - is served in many trattorie at midday, and a full meal will set you back only about €10. The best places for this are La Bea Vita (Fondamenta delle Cappuccine, Cannaregio 3082; 041 2759347) and (Fondamenta Ormesini 2754), which both have lovely canal-side terraces, and Osteria Ai Osti (Corte dei Pali Testori, Cannaregio 3849; 041 5207993), whose chef, Danilo, creates some brilliant dishes of the day with whatever he has found that morning in the Rialto market nearby.
Alla Madonna Restaurant – Another restaurant popular for its fish and reasonable prices.

Al Calice - located in the main Square, this restaurant became one of the most loved place by people for its concerts and music! Cook will bring you tastes of Venetian meals and suggesting you the right wine to go with the dish.

Centrale Lounge - It is located 1 minute from San Marco Square in a historic Venetian Palace. Mediterranean and traditional Venetian cuisine such as fish and meat are served until late at night.

Hosteria Al Vecio Bragosso – Here you can find lots of tourists, but overall the dinner is great.

Ristorante Ca Dolfin – This little restaurant has good pizza and friendly service.
