Sorry!
The top 3 may be called "charming" in the sense of ambience (for some) but Alla Rivetta is happy and active with diners jammed in at long tables and making friends right and left.
If that sounds good, you could give it a try.

My first trips to Venice included dinners at Da Fiore & Al Covo.
On my last visit I listened to the Venetians & went to:
Anitico Panificio (best pizza & homemade 'pastierei' for dessert
Al Zucca....great inventive food & cozy surroundings, reasonable prices...three visits weren't enough!
For a splurge?
L'OSTERIA DI SANTA MARINA....we even purchased the a gift certificate for our Venetian friends.....it was a first!!

Mamma love, there are some good places for non-seafood eaters in Venice. Osteria da Alberto is one. Da Sandro in Rialto has great steak. La Zucca in Santa Croce doesn't serve fish at all - only meats and pastas.
Koshka, I'd say for a splurge, da Fiore, Antiche Carampane, or Corte Sconte. But there are lots of places that you can eat almost as well for a fraction of the price. What is a splurge to you?

One of our favorites is Il Gondolieri located not far from the Accademia Bridge in the Dorsoduro district. It was recommended by a local and also is known for its meat dishes. We have had two wonderful meals there and were the only Americans in the restaurant.
I wish I could, sometimes it looks soooo good.

Holly,
Antico Panificio:
Sa Polo 945 A-B
just off Campo San Aponal
(San Silvestro vaporetto stop)
041 277 09 67
Don't forget to save room for dessert...ask if they have Caprese or Pastiere...(divine) It wasn't listed on the menu, but they had it.....also try BOTH the red/white fragolino....an Italian outlaw wine!!

Ira - I have heard such good things about Cantinone Storico - must try it on the next trip.
Momma, someone here mentioned Ai Gondolieri - they have an incredible steak with Barolo sauce. Yum.
