Train-station sandwiches would be an anticlimactic ending to any Venetian culinary ad-
venture, so stop by this
bàcaro
near the station to toast your trip with a glass of
prosecco
and the €6 menu of
primi
of the day - asparagus risotto,
pasta e fagioli
(pasta with beans),
or
casarecce
(scroll pasta) with sausage, olives and tomato if you're lucky.

Bantering Venetians thronging the bar are the only permanent fixtures at
this newly revived neighbourhood
osteria
, where handwritten menus created daily feature
fresh Venetian seafood and Veneto meats at excellent prices. Seasonal standouts include
seppie in umido
(cuttlefish in rich tomato sauce) and housemade tagliatelle with
anatra
(wild duck), but pace yourself for cloudlike tiramisu and elegant chocolate torte.

Not since Tintoretto lived next door has this
neighbourhood seen so much action, thanks to this bustling
osteria
. Sicilian chef Lorenzo
makes fresh surf-and-turf pasta daily, including squid atop spinach
tagliolini
and pasta
with zucchini blossoms and scampi. Upbeat staff and fish-shaped lamps set a playful
mood, and you'll be handed
prosecco
to endure waits for tables (book ahead).

An old
osteria
with inspired new ideas, Antica Adelaide combines hearty lagoon fare served here since
the 18th century with one of Italy's most exciting menus of small-production natural
wines (eg biodynamic, organic, natural fermentation). Pair lagoon-clam linguine with or-
ganic Cantina Filippi DOC soave and
orechiette
(ear-shaped) pasta with almonds and gor-
gonzola with Castello di Arcano's sulfite-free organic Refosco blend.
