All' Antica Mola
This restaurant in Cannaregio has good food and prices, with outdoor
tables in nice weather. (But not all readers have reported good
experiences.)
Gam Gam
The menu is Israeli and Italian, the staff is Hasidic, and the food is first-rate at this
kosher in the Old Ghetto.
Osteria Vivaldi
This family-run wine bar and restaurant near the Campo San Polo is my
candidate for the title of "Venice's Friendliest Restaurant,"
although one reader had a bad experience there recently.
Taverna San Trovaso
The San Trovaso is one of Venice's best restaurant values. The taverna attracts a
mixed clientele of Venetian families, students, and tourists.
Zucca
The name means "pumpkin," and this vegetarian-friendly restaurant is a garden of
culinary delights.
