Anyone know Venice well?

[Jessicas429]

..looking for some advice/Tips. I'm going next month for a big birthday of mine. Visited for a day trip a few years ago in mid August and whilst I loved the city itself, found it difficult to escape tourist trap restaurants when there for only a day.

I'm visiting for a long weekend so any advice re interesting/lovely restaurants out of the main tourist drag would be very appreciated. Or any resources to find out such info. Also any must see sights apart from the very obvious.

Thanks in advance

Corte Sconta - it's a bit hidden away but tends to be very busy so you'd need to book but well worth it, great sea food and anti pasti and a quiet non-frantic atmos.not cheap but worth it.

I lived in Venice for a year so know it well. I have a list of places saved on trip advisor- just need to work out how to share it with others! Agree that corte sconta is amazing although I haven't been there for years. Funnily enough I'm also going there next month. I'll post some links tonolacrsnonce I'm on a pc tomorrow

Been to both these places. Can't recommend them highly enough.

Im going next month too. I have heard of a few places being referred to as East Dulwich on sea, but not Venice so far. :)

I have only booked flights so far so hotel recomendations etc also welcome for me and the missus.

Thanks so much for the recommendations- had a great meal at Corte sconta for the birthday night then another at antiche carampane on another. Both highly recommended. Thanks again to all.

So glad you liked Corte Sconta. When I think about their food I get a bit teary, it's so amazing. Antiche Carampane looks great - thanks for the tip!
