Oh my. Almost anywhere. Just follow you nose. It kind of depends on which seciton of town you will be in, but almost any sidewalk cafe will have good food. You will have the added benefit of being able to people watch.

If you are headed to the old Jewish Ghetto, you might want to check out Enoteca Due Colonne - 1814C Rio Tera Del Cristo at Calle del Cristo

1952 - Excalibur (freighter)
1972 - Song of Norway, Caribbean
1980 - Hawaii American Curise line, Tahiti
09/01/2002 - Veendam, Alaska
05/29/2003 - Pacific Princess, Alaska

If money is no object, it is extremely "romantic" to eat at one of the three outdoor cafes right in Piazza San Marco.

Otherwise, the best advice I can give you is to walk a couple of blocks away from Piazza San Marco and you will find the prices for food go down considerably. Sorry I can't give you any tips on particular places.

I'm sure others will pipe in soon with suggestions, but just in case, you have my limited information.

HAVE A FABULOUS TRIP!

Between the Railroad Station and the Ghetto, there is a commercial street...the Lista di Spagna...along this road you will find a number of small cafes, many with outdoor seating, very reasonably priced with fixed price (complete multi-course meal at a set price) menus...Just look for one that smells good...It's really hard to go wrong...

You'll get more to eat in larger portions and at a lesser price than anything near San Marco...

I totally agree with Mike. Go to Alla Madonna.

From Sam Marco, cross the Rialto bridge and take a left on the other side. Go to the second "street" on your right (the canal is on your left), called Alla Madonna. The Trattoria is about 2 blocks down on your left.

It is one of my favorite eateries in the world. No trip to Venice would be complete without a visit. Be sure to try something you wouldn't ordinarily eat, like fried eal, or squid in black ink sauce. You'll be glad you did.

Hi Jeff,

I would presume they mean Alla Madonna,it's a great place especially for those who like seafood like myself. A few glasses of chilled prosecco in the Cantina do Mori nearby on Sotoportego dei Mori before your meal is another pleasure.

Another recommendation, albeit a pricey one, is lunch on the terrace next to the Grand Canal at the Pitti Palace hotel. Lots to watch as the traffic is constant on the Canal.The best part was requesting a bowl of raspberries to end the meal and they gave each of us what looked like a mixing bowl of berries.

Rick,24 cruises and counting! Next cruise- #25-Riverboat cruise from Amsterdam to Vienna in July '04

When in Venice visit the information offices of the APT (Azienda di Promozione Turistica), which you can find at the train station (Santa Lucia), the parking station (Garage Asm) at Piazzale Roma, the parking station at Isola del Tronchetto (an artificial island) and at Piazza San Marco (St. Mark’s Square). There ask for the ‘Venezia a Tavola’ (Appetizing Venice), the official guide to restaurants, typical venues, bars and nightspots. The booklet is free and it is a must if you want to know more about each restaurant, their prices, opening times, etc. At the APT office you can also pick up a free map of Venice.

APT can be reached at:
Phone +39 0415 298 711
Fax: +39 0415 230 399

For a search of restaurants by locality/food type go to: [url="http://www.ristoranti.ombra.net/indexfast.php?hlangs=en"]Venice restaurants[/url]

Harry’s Bar is excellent, but a little bit on the expensive side. The median cost per person is about Euro75.00-95.00 excluding wine and other beverages.

Buon appetito!!

Cheers

Thanks Hornblower,

Your knowledge of Venice is amazing. We have been there twice and are returning again in October. The website for the restaurants will be invaluable.

Jennie

The next cruise is always the best!
