This is one of the oldest osteria in Venezia, owned by the same owners (passed down from mother "la Vedova" to son for the last 55 years). Here you will find simple dishes. Not highly touristy, venitians come here to it!

Famous! It can take a entire day to go through the Biennale at arsenale and 2 days do see both Arsenale and Giardini. However, years after years, if you only have a day or a half day to dedicate to the biennale I recommend going to Arsenale rather than Giardini.
