In Dorsoduro
All of these recommendations are within a 10-minute walk of the Accademia Bridge (for
locations, see the map on here ) . Dorsoduro is great for restaurants and well-worth the walk
from the more touristy Rialto and San Marco areas. The first two listings are near the Ac-
cademia (and best for lunch). The next two are in Zattere, overlooking the Giudecca Canal.
And the last four (best for dinner) are near Campo San Barnaba.
Near the Accademia Bridge
(See “Hotels & Restaurants near Accademia Bridge” map, here . )
Ristorante/Pizzeria Accademia Foscarini, next to the Accademia Bridge and Galleria, of-
fers decent €10-11 pizzas in a great canalside setting. Their toasted farciti stuffed sandwich
is a local favorite (€6.50 at the table). Though the pizzas may be forgettable, this place is
both scenic and practical—on each visit to Venice, I grab a pizza lunch here while I ponder
the Grand Canal bustle. They also serve a €10 breakfast (no cover or service charge, May-
Oct Wed-Mon 7:00-22:30, Nov-April Wed-Mon 7:00-21:00, closed Tue year-round, on Rio
Terà A. Foscarini at #878c, tel. [phone], Paolo).
Enoteca Cantine del Vino Già Schiavi is much-loved for its €1 cicchetti and €3.50
sandwiches (order from list on board). It's also a good place for a €1-2 glass of wine and
appetizers. You're welcome to enjoy your wine and finger food at the bar or out on the side-
walk. This is primarily a wine shop with great prices for bottles to go—and plastic glasses
for picnickers (Mon-Sat 8:00-20:30, closed Sun, 100 yards from Accademia art museum on
San Trovaso canal; facing Accademia, take a right and then a forced left at the canal to the
second bridge—it's at #992, tel. [phone]).
In Zattere
(See “Hotels & Restaurants near Accademia Bridge” map, here . )
TerrazzadelCasindeiNobili takesfulladvantageofthewarm,romanticeveningsun.They
serve finely crafted, regional specialties with creativity at tolerable prices. The canalside
seating is breezy and beautiful, but comes with the rumble of vaporetti from the nearby
stop. The interior is bright and hip (good €9-10 pizzas, €10-13 pastas, €15-25 secondi, €2
cover, Fri-Wed 12:00-23:00, closed Thu; from Zattere vaporetto stop, turn left to #924; tel.
041-520-6895, Ruggiero and Eleonora). On Wednesday and Sunday evenings in summer,
there's live music nearby on the Zattere promenade.
Ae Oche Pizzeria is playful, with casual tables on the canal and a sprawling pizza
parlor interior. It's a hit with young Venetians for its fun atmosphere and good prices (daily
12:00-15:00 & 19:00-23:00, a couple of hundred yards from the Zattere vaporetto stop, tel.
041-520-6601).
