Where to eat and drink in Venice

AL MERCA'(Rialto)

This peculiar hole-in-the-wall osteria, near Rialto market is definitely a must go. I love the small panini and the buzz of the locals trying to grab a bite during their lunch or on their way back from the market.

If you are coming from San Marco/San Bortolomeo cross the bridge and walk on the right, pass San Giacometto church and square and then go towards the market. Just before the Rialto market on the wall on the left side not far from Il Muro bar. San Polo 213, Capo Cesare Battisti (between Rialto bridge and Rialto market)
+39 (0) 347 100 2583

BANCOGIRO (Rialto)

You must stop for a drink here. Make sure you sit outside on the terrace overlooking the Canal Grande. You will get a good view of some of the amazing palaces on the Canal Grande and a differerent view of the Rialto bridge. Order some wine and cheese and relax watching the gondole passing by...

If you are coming from San Marco/San Bortolomeo, cross the Rialto bridge and turn right. San Polo 130

OSTERIA AL DIAVOLO E ALL'ACQUA SANTA (Rialto, camminando in direzione San Polo)

This is a typical Venetian osteria, with traditional Venitian food that you now struggle to find anywhere else. It is not a fancy environment, but it is pleasant. You can stand and eat cicchetti or sit down. At the counter, there is a big pot with musetto, trippa e testina - I am not sure if I should explain what they are... Let's say not far away from a haggis!! You should try them as they are super tasty and the are proper original Venetian food.

Walk from Rialto in the direction of San Polo but stop much earlier, it is on a narrow calle on your left. Calle della Madonna 561 San Polo

ROSTICCERIA GISLON (Rialto)

You must stop here to try the mozzarella in carrozza (deep fried mozzarella and ham). It sounds horrible but it is the best thing ever, especially before a late lunch or dinner with a spritz....

Walk from S. Lio towards Rialto but stop before Rialto, exactly just few metres before campo San Bortolomeo (after you cross the bridge after San Lio is on your left). Calle de la Bissa 5424 | Campo San Bartolomeo, 30124 Venice, Italy (San Marco)

CANTINA DO MORI  (near Rialto)

Eat cicchetti and drink wine in a lively atmosphere. This was one of my grandad's favourite places where to drink. Here, you are surrounded by Venetians standing, socialising in the thin strip of thoroughfare space the leads from one door to another one...hundreds of copper pots are hanging above your head...

If you are coming from San Marco/San Bortolomeo, cross the Rialto bridge and turn left in the direction of San Polo and you will find it just few meters after on your right handsite. 

DO SPADE (Near Rialto market)
Eat polpette di carne e di pesce, try chele di granchio. In a journey back in time to Casanova 's hunting ground...read the full story on the print on the wall (History of My Life, Casanova).

After the Rialto market, walk in the direction of San Giacomo, pass the camera shop and cross the little bridge and turn left immediately crossing the tiny bridge and walking under the arch. San Polo 860

ENOTECA BOLDRIN (near San Canzian)

Here you can eat amzing tramezzini or un primo and drink wine very quickly and unformally.

If you are coming from San Bortolomeo walk in the Coin direction (the big shop after the Poste ) and cross the Ponte dei giocattoli and turn right in the direction of San Giovanni e Paolo. It is only a minute away from when you cross the bridge on your left handside. San Canziano | Cannaregio 5550, Venezia, Italia

AL TIMON, Fondamenta degli Ormesini, Cannaregio

Seduti sulla Fondamenta, l'atmosfera e' fantastica. I Veneziani si trovano qui per un aperitivo e un buon  ed economico cicchetto o per una deliziosa cena a base di carne. La piccata e la fiorentina sono magnifiche!!
