Experts' Choice Award Bistrot de venise
What the experts agree on
Historic Venetian recipes from the 14th-18th centuries meet refined French bistro ambiance here, paired with an impressive wine list by the glass. Attentive service and dishes like lagoon scallop tagliolini justify the splurge near San Marco.
“Paesanos with a hankering for "old, historic recipes" "cooked skillfully" frequent this Venetian "close to San Marco" where they can also sample vino from a large list.”
