1. Travel Tip:
Campo de Fiori
|
Campo de Fiori is renowned for it's outdoor market. It opens up at 6:00am and closes at 2:00pm, so get there early! Don't take the stated price - haggle! I always feel a bit strange haggling,...

2. Travel Tip:
Nice for a change
|
Okay, yes, it's a gimmicky name for an Egyptian restaurant, but don't let that put you off - it's worth a try. They do a good job with the cuisine, and although it was nothing compared to what...

3. Travel Tip:
Paid the price
|
|
This was a huge disappointment, and boy did we pay for it. It was by far the most expensive meal we had in Venice, and it was so sub-par it would have been comical if it hadn't cost us so much....

4. Travel Tip:
Amazing pizza
|
|
This place concentrates on pizza, and they do a fine job of it. Sure, it's just Italian pizza like every other restaurant in Venice does, but the choices are much more varied, and the atmosphere...

5. Travel Tip:
Great food with music
|
|
We had a great seafood meal at the Giorgione, and there was live music as well. Don't get me wrong, lots of places in Venice have touristy traditional Italian music playing, but this was real...

6. Travel Tip:
Nice variety
|
|
This restaurant isn't actually in the city proper, but it was worth the trip. It's located in the hotel of the same name, and although the hotel is only rated as three-star, it was exceptionally...

7. Travel Tip:
Not worth the trouble
|
|
This place was a hassle. Sometimes the more expensive restaurants seem to think they're doing you a favour by serving you dinner, and I hate that attitude. I kind of wish we'd left and gone...

8. Travel Tip:
Exceptional seafood
|
|
We had really exceptional seafood here. Mussels, squid, fried shellfish, risotto, you name it. There were six people at our table, and we just ordered a lot of seafood dishes and shared. My...

9. Travel Tip:
Pricey but good
|
|
At the Antico Pignolo you will find traditional Italian meals prepared to a very high standard. Even the pasta was exceptionally well-made, and the second time we went back we did so specifically...

10. Travel Tip:
Grand breakfast
|
|
It's probably a bit touristy to have breakfast in the Piazza San Marco, but it was an experience I didn't want to miss, and I'm glad we went even though there were many other tourists there to ruin...
