Perfect location and definitely go for the chef option. It is actually 2 charming ladies who will take you to the Rialto Market, shop for your meal and then prepare and serve you truly Venitian dishes. Delicious and a highlight not often found. Giorgio is a wonderful host, shows you everything you need and was available for questions and advice. Water bus stop literally 20 feet from the door, makes for great connections throughout the city. Loved all of it!!!
