Antica Trattoria Poste Vecie
By the Rialto fish market: order baccalà mantecato with polenta, red prawn carpaccio and spaghetti alle vongole. Google Maps sends you in through the kitchen.
Brunch Café
On Calle de la Madoneta, run by an Asian family: order the fluffy sweet pancake stack with fruit, milk ice cream and maple syrup.
Ca' Nigra Lagoon Resort
Big rooms, garden terrace and canal views, close to the train station in a quieter area than San Marco or Rialto; water taxis dock at the private entrance.
Mercato di Rialto
Right by the Rialto Bridge: fruit, veg and a huge fish hall. Come in the morning — porcini season starts in September (€15/kg).
Osteria Bancogiro
Cicchetti from about 4pm with an Aperol spritz (€2.50 a piece); also an excellent restaurant - squid ink pasta with mussels & bottarga, scallops.
Venice Gondola Ride
Not cheap, but fun with kids - book ahead through Avivit's concierge service so a guided ride with explanations waits for you.
Venice Italy Luxury Services
Finally an Israeli guide in Venice - Michal promises you won't be disappointed; she arranges gondola rides and tours.
I Compari Pulperia
By the Rialto market: go for the boiled octopus (folpo, €4.50/hg), the nervetti-bovoetti-masanette plate (€8) and a 6-piece cicchetti mix (€18).
Ponte degli Scalzi
Come at dusk — sunset views over the Grand Canal with gondolas and the floodlit Chiesa degli Scalzi.
Al Nono Risorto
A pleasant local place on a side street for a tired evening - margherita pizza plus sauté of mussels and clams.
Caffè Florian
Live orchestra and white-suited waiters, but terrible service and a €6 per person music supplement: 3 drinks came to €50.50.
Chiesa di San Simeone Piccolo
The green-domed church right across the Grand Canal from the train station — great first view of Venice at dusk.
Piazza San Marco
Mentioned as the most crowded, touristy part of Venice — she chose to sleep away from it.
Ponte di Rialto
See it from the water - the gondola glides right under the bridge on the Grand Canal.
Bar Rosa
Neighbourhood bar with outdoor tables — start the morning with coffee in the sun like the locals reading the paper.
Dolce Vita Pasticceria
Morning stop for sfogliatelle (try the pistachio one) with a cappuccino.
Majer
A spot full of locals with drinks and food — stumbled on it on the walk back to the hotel.
Osteria da Filo
Where locals come out for aperitivo and cicchetti in the evening — crowded and authentic.
Basilica di San Marco

Seen from the water on the gondola ride along the Grand Canal.
