Pied à Terre
A jewel box of a shop hidden
behind a market stall by the Rialto.
Various iterations of Venetian
furlane slippers—from traditional
velvet and canvas to tie-dye cotton
and denim Mary Janes—are piled
floor to ceiling, inviting careful
and considered treasure-hunting.

Ever popular for its fresh seafood and vine-covered courtyard, this is local
simplicity at its finest. Choose the tasting menu for a special occasion,
or pair a chilled bottle of garganega with a pile of shatteringly crisp fritto
misto and a plate of fresh linguine with clams for a more relaxed dinner.
