Hype worthy cicchetti and cheap ombre in Dorsoduro

Venetian and Italian pastries in Dorsoduro

Very good Classic Venetian pastries

Excellent house roasted coffee on a canal in Cannaregio.

Seasonal produce and dish market in central Venice

Little sandwiches and natural wines near Rialto Market

I love Vino Vero for wines and snacks.

Another great spot for wines and snacks.

Al Covo is great for pasta, fritto misto and a very good grappa selection.

Covino nearby is lovely, too.

Try Alle Testiere where everything is very good.

An institution for cicchetti such as fondo di carciofo (artichoke hearts) and polpette di carne (meat croquettes).

Cantina Do Spade is cute for cicchetti, too.

If you’re on the move in the lagoon, visit Trattoria alla Maddalena in Mazzorbo...

...and Gatto Nero in Burano.
