A Venice native, Chef Concierge Francesco Santini has worked at Hotel Gritti Palace since 1965.
This busy restaurant behind San Marco square serves all kinds of specialties. The fish is very, very fresh, and they have every kind of handmade pasta.
Best Romantic RestaurantThis trattoria along a narrow canal has just a handful of tables. Make sure to arrive by gondola and reserve a window seat.
Best WineThe low ceiling rafters and flickering lights at this old wine bar belie the high-end wine menu.
Best Bar for a Business DrinkIt is so pleasant to be out there and take coffee, ice cream, and blinis. In the evening, there is a sea breeze.
Best SteakThe steak's just as good as the seafood, for which this former Tuscan wine storehouse is known. Save room for the zabaglione.
