Osteria
Enoteca San Marco
|
Price:
€50. Wine: €20 |
| Opened
in 2002, this classy osteria is located a stone’s
throw from Pizza San Marco and has quickly established
itself as a fashionable venue. Noodles with lobster
and tender venison are amongst the appetizing dishes
on offer in the relaxed and rustic setting. The extensive
wine list is also excellent. For some, the fact that
you cannot get bar service during restaurant hours,
therefore breaking with the tradition of the osteria,
may grate slightly. Closed Sundays. |

| Al
Ristorante Cip’s Club |
Price:
€100. Wine: €40 |
| Cip’s
Club has an ingredient that is the envy of many of the
Venetian restaurateurs with a stunning view back across
the lagoon to St Mark’s Square. A more informal
alternative to the Cipriani Hotel’s signature
restaurant, Cip’s Club is styled as a pizzeria,
grill and dolci bar, serving regional Italian fare,
such as pizzas and pasta, as well as afternoon tea,
pastries and ice cream. The fish pasta starters such
as clams with spaghetti and cherry tomatoes are excellent.
Along with the more relaxed atmosphere come slightly
more affordable prices. To make the most of this dining
experience offered by Cip’s Club, visitors should
choose a mild day, sink into a chair on the floating
pontoon and enjoy the unrivalled views. |

| Bar
Trento |
Price:
€40. Wine: €15 |
| A
favourite with the stars and paparazzi who visit Venice’s
annual film festiva. This old style osteria with 1950s
furnishings offers a wide array of cicheti (appetisers),
including polpette (meatballs) and baccala (salt cod),
as well as full meals. Outside of the film festival,
Bar Trento only opens for lunch but makes a perfect
break from the conference centres or the beach. |

| Harry’s
Dolci |
Price:
€90. Wine: €25 |
| There
is no better place to watch the famous sunset over Venice’s
skyline than from the beautiful open-air terrace of
Harry’s Dolci, located on the island of Giudecca.
The highlight of this luxurious and elegant restaurant
is the romantic terrance which overlooks the Guidecca
Canal. It is also the place to indulge on calorific
sweetmeats in the city that first imported sugar to
Europe. Famous for its zabaglione (a Marsala-flavoured
mousse) and rich pastries, this Cipriani outlet offers
both snacks and full meals. Also great on a summer’s
day, is sitting outside under the festooned awnings. |

Caffe
Quadri
|
Price:
€85. Wine: €35
|
| Like
a Merchant Ivory film set, Caffe Quadri serves up a
huge helping of Venetian history, combining as it does
a view over St Mark’s Square with palatial furnishings.
The refined and graceful cuisine draws the crowds, making
reservations imperative and pushing up the prices. The
saddle of rabbit with ham and shallots glazed in balsamic
vinegar is fantastic and the ravioli with veal and white
truffle sauce is a must for those who want to splash
out – a unique experience worth every cent. |
