On Salizzada San Provolo
Cuisines: Seafood, Italian
About
Lively and frequented by gondoliers (always a clue of quality dining for the right price), merchants, and visitors drawn to its bonhomie and bustling popularity, this is one of the safer bets for genuine Venetian cuisine and company in the touristy San Marco area, a 10-minute walk east of the piazza. All sorts of fish -- the specialty -- decorate the window of this brightly lit place. Another good indicator: There's usually a short wait, even in the off season.
