Two other restaurants I've used often over the years are <a href="http://osteriadafranz.netsolutionsvenice.com/indexeng.htm" rel="nofollow">Hostaria da Franz</a> and Trattoria Maddelena on Mazzorbo. Da Franz is very expensive but quite an experience - some of the best fish in Venice. Maddalena is a little local café/restaurant by the boat stop on Mazzorbo, the island on the way to Torcello. It's only open lunchtimes and closes Thursdays. Modest place but lovely surroundings and friendly staff. In the winter the local duck hunters congregate here and slow braised duck is usually on the menu. Sunday lunch is good too. The only other advice I'd offer is.... eat in San Marco at your own risk!

I will be travelling to Venice for the first time in December with my 26 year old son so it is handy to know about places to go from someone who has enjoyed the experience. Thank you for this advice.
