Venice Itinerary 2-Days

Day 1

Activities:

• St Mark’s Square

• Clock Tower

• Explore East Grand Canal (San Marco, Castello, Cannaregio)

• Bridge of Sighs

• Libreria Acqua Alta

Lunch: Farini Venezia

I really enjoyed their pastries and pizza! Also, the lemon soda was delicious. Similar to Sanpellogrino Limonata.

Dinner: Ostaria Boccadoro (online res available)

Notable Snack Finds:

• Pulpo/Octopus at the local grocery store

• Nutella Biscuits (ummm these were to die for)

Day 2

Activities:

• Mercato Del Pesce / Fish Market

  • If you have a kitchen at your stay, I highly recommend buying seafood from the market. It’s incredibly fresh and great quality. Hubby cooked us John Dory fish and scallops. YUM!

• Grand Canal

• Rialto Bridge

• Gondola Ride

Lunch: Osteria Al Squero (traditional cichetti, savory snacks or small side dishes, and wines served alongside the canal. I’m a bread gal, so the cichetti paired with the local wine was right up my alley.)

Dinner: Ai Promessi Sposi (res available, email aipromessisposi@gmail.com)

Highly recommend this restaurant! We were late to our reservation, because I remembered the wrong time. They weren’t too happy about that. Luckily, they accommodated us and we had a short window to order and eat. The experience was still amazing and we devoured everything we ordered!

What we ordered and loved: canestrelli gratinati, spaghetti alle vongole, orecchiette di pasta fresca all’amitriciana di capesante e gamberoni affumicati in casa, and callamari alla griglia
