The virtue of the "Honest Woman" is still maintained by the owners of this small, neat trattoria perched along the rio. Through the glass door you'll see a well-kept old structure with no frills -- the style is dark-brown wooden chairs and white tablecloths. The menu posted outside offers a reasonable choice of staple Italian pasta dishes, fish, and meat. Few tourists stop here, and the little English you'll hear is likely to be a conversation among professors from the nearby Università Ca' Foscari, who are lunchtime regulars.
