Terrific place... location was (no exaggeration) perfect. Much better than I’d expected.
She provided a helpful binder with restaurant list, important phone numbers, area map, and she was very responsive. Don’t waste time, just book the place- you can thank me later.. or just send me a nice bourbon.
Of course, once you step outside.. you are in a magical city. Just keep in mind that Venice IS Mucho Dinero Expensive... think Paris of Italy.. so, beware of waiters (some will seriously rip you off and you may very well get a ridiculous bill for a sub-par lunch. My advice would be to find an affordable(ish), small local restaurant and order the house wine (certainly don’t go all south beach and get the 110 euro bottle, cuz you will pay upwards of 300 euros for a pasta lunch- especially once they know u r American- and ask for the official itemized receipt). And remember, tipping (coperto) is likely included in the bill, so save your change. That being said, I’m sure you’re not expecting Portugal or Spain prices.. this is Venice, after all.. and it is definitely something to see.
