Restaurants in San Marco, Venice

It's important to check that the restaurant at which you're interested in eating is open! Restaurants in Venice do not all close on a Monday, rest days vary, and not all open at night. Booking is highly advisable, especially when you want an outside table. And not all restaurants (especially the smaller ones) take credit cards.

Acqua Pazza

Relatively new and very slick. Big portions but expensive. Service questionable.

Florian | read the review
Piazza San Marco
Founded in 1720. Expensive, but then Byron liked it. And the coffee was good, although the tea service was an elegant alternative.

Cavatappi
San Marco 252, Campo della Guerra
Tiny bar with a few tables outside. Snack on crostini and tramezzini with a wide range of wines. Lunch (The fixed-price menu is a bargain) and dinner are more substantial.
