This sweet cafe has been baking fruit tarts, cream puffs, and layered pastries since 1870.

Have a casual meal at abc Quadri in one of the city’s oldest and prettiest coffee houses or head to the more formal Ristorante Quadri in the opulent dining room upstairs. Ask for a table one row away from the windows for better views of the piazza.

Take your morning cappuccino and brioche in the piazza or under the arcade at this historic spot, where Venetians have been gathering and gossiping since 1720.

One of the best fish restaurants in Venice specializes in what’s fresh and local. Reservations are a must, as there are very few tables.

Where everyone feels like old friends. Blame the cozy wood beams, the low lighting, the welcoming staff, and, most of all, the seasonally-driven menu inspired by the fishy bounty of the lagoon.
