8 placesCantina Do Mori
San Paolo
Cicchetto - sort of like tapas or pinchos. A bar that serves these is called a Bacari.
Osteria Al Ponte del Diavolo
Isola Torcello
German-style food and wines. This was his guide's favorite place
Trattoria da Romano
Via Baldassarre Galuppi
Open since the 1800s. Guestbooks have sketches from famous artists like Matisse. Simple, classic, traditional Italian foods. Cooked over a wood fire and lots of seafood. The seafood risotto is spectacular
Trattoria San Basilio
Calle Del Vento
After visiting on a tugboat pulling large ships into dock, they had a meal at this trattoria on an outside patio table. Tony called it "Trattoria Borghi" so it may have changed ownership
Antica Locanda Montin
Fondamenta Di Borgo
Simple classics done well.
Al Covo
Campiello della Pescheria
The chef made tiny soft shell crabs caught that day
Mercato di Rialto
Campo S. Polo
Fresh fish market
Sant'Erasmo
Via de le Motte
Some of the best fruits and vegetables are grown here due to the great soil. Tony raved about a tomato, "It's nice to be reminded of how good a tomato can be" and "a near religious experience." They also drank Fragolina and sliced salami, good cheese, and crusty bread.
