GELATERIA CA' D'ORO €
( 041 522 89 82; Strada Nuova 4273; gelati €2-4.50; noon-8pm; ; Ca' d'Oro)
Foot traffic stops
here for slow-food flavours artisanally made in-house daily. Regional Italian flavours are
top choices - especially Sorrento lemon and extra-creamy Bronte pistachio - but
sorbetto
(sorbet) in seasonal fruit flavours like kiwi and canteloupe could turn anyone temporarily
vegan. For a summer pick-me-up, try the
granita di caffe con panna
(coffee shaved ice
with whipped cream).

All the makings of a true Venetian
osteria
- hidden location, casks of wine,
chandeliers that look like medieval torture devices - plus fair prices on spaghetti
alla
busara
(with shrimp sauce), seasonal
cicheti
, crispy Venetian seafood fry, and silky panna
cotta with strawberries. Call ahead, because the kitchen closes early when the joint's not
jumping.

;
Campo San Leonardo 1355; sandwiches €2.20-5; San Marcuola)
Since
1890 Rizzo has been preparing Venetians for train journeys to
terra firma
with grilled
pan-
ini
packed with garlic-spiked
sopressa
and top-notch San Daniele prosciutto, plus just-
baked Burano
esse
(S-shaped biscotti).
Foccace
and
tramezzini
(sandwiches) are rigorously
fresh, and the efficient, cheerful
signore
behind the counter sincerely wish you to
torno
subito
(return soon) - though no convincing is necessary.

( 041 71 51 01; Rio Terà Lista di Spagna 150a; pastries €0.90-1.70; 7am-6pm daily; ; Ferrovia)
Early
departures and commuter cravings call for flaky pastries near the train station, devoured
warm with a

turnovers,
krapfen
(doughnuts) and the classic
curasan
(croissant).
