One of the best things about eating in Venice is Cichetti (pronounced chee-KEHT-tee). These bites of food, ranging from a simple chunk of salami to fried rice balls stuffed with seafood, are served up in osterie and bars. Cichetti are popular both at lunch and before dinner. To eat Cichetti, walk into a place full of people standing and eating; point at the items you want, order a glass of wine, and when you are done, pay and go to the next stop.
This spot offers plenty of seating, a good location near San Marco, low prices, and an extensive menu of both pastas and some of the best pizzas in Venice.

Lovely restaurant along the famous Riva, where so often you pay for the view, and not for the quality of food or service. Here you get both!

The menu offers a large amount of Mediterranean cuisine and a large variety of seasonal vegetables.
Special attention is paid to the quality and freshness of all the produce and only extra virgin olive oil is used.
Desserts are freshly prepared , the sweets and the pasta are homemade. A simple cooking and therefore avoid disguising the taste with too sophistically prepared sauces.
