Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
Convenient to Murano shoppers and Burano photographers, Algiubagiò offers sea-
side romance. The long indoor bar is a promising start to date nights, with some
300 wine options and moody spotlighting under the exposed-beam ceiling. Casual
drinks may lead to cosy, candlelit tables for two and ambitious (if pricey) meals of
goose and truffle ravioli. (

Agli Ormesini
PUB
While the rest of Venice is awash in wine, Ormesini offers more than 100 brews,
including reasonably priced bottles of speciality craft ales and local Birra Venezia.
The cheery, beery scene often spills into the street - but keep it down, or the
neighbours will get testy.
