Aciugheta

Venice


Just a stone’s throw from Piazza San Marco, this is a rarity: a reasonably priced wine bar and restaurant in the most touristy part of town. Cicheti (Venetian tapas) at the bar include king prawns in saor (marinated with onions) and, for once, good pizza made with organic, stone-ground flour.

It's a popular haunt with Venetian workers, but the kitchen stays open until 11pm for tardy diners.
