Venice - Italy - page 292

waiters who've worked in reputable establishments that literally operate three pric-
ing systems: one for Venetians, one for Italian tourists, and one (the highest) for
foreign tourists. Unfortunately, there's not much you can do about this economic
discrimination, but eating where locals tend to congregate, and avoiding the most
markedly “tourist-hungry” places, will make a big difference; another general rule
is to avoid most restaurants directly around St. Mark's Square, those near the
Rialto lining the Grand Canal, and places advertising “tourist menus” (menu tur-
istico). For maps of Venice's restaurants, see p. 274 and 290.
