Hidden in the once shady lanes behind Ponte de le Tette, this culinary indulgence is hard to find but worth the effort. Once you do, say hello to a market-driven menu of Venetian classics, including fegato alla veneziana (veal liver with onions) and lots of seafood. It's never short of a smart, convivial crowd, so it's a good idea to book ahead.
