Cantina Do Spade

Top choice in San Polo & Santa Croce


Famously mentioned in Casanova's memoirs, cosy 'Two Spades' was founded in 1488 and continues to keep Venice in good spirits with its bargain Tri-Veneto and Istrian wines and young, laid-back management. Come early for market-fresh fritture (fried battered seafood) and grilled squid, or linger longer with satisfying, sit-down dishes such as bigoli in salsa (pasta in anchovy and onion sauce).
