Antico Martini was our best meal; the dining room at the Europa Regina was excellent also, top notch.
Of course, the Cipriani was superb also; we had lunch one afternoon at the terrace by the pool.
Lower priced meals were hit and miss, imo;
we had a few quite ordinary dinners but they were ok.

Ira...
you mean to say you've not yet discovered the joy of a prawn and brie baguette?
A freshly baked demi split and filled with thinly sliced brie, prawns in a soupcon of mayo, a twist or two of freshly ground black pepper and a hint of freshly squeezed lemon juice, and (if you're feeling adventurous) a smattering of rocket leaves (that's arugula to Americans).... mmmm heaven!
What a lunch with a glass or two Chablis!

Melissa I was just reading this post to Al, and we were saying that on this trip we WILL find Trattoria Ca'd Oro which you told us about, then here you are again, must be a sign!
The first thing I'm going to do when we get to Venice is find Trattoria Ca'd Oro.... I will, I will, I will!!! I'll write and tell you all about us.
PS... I'm still researching all the local wine estates for you.. hehe!

Hi Mischka! Yes, I was doing fodors research last night as a friend of a friend is going to Venice soon and I wanted to give him some of my notes on places to eat. I do hope you find it! I didn't get to tell you, but I did not win the Megabucks in Vegas (yet) so I'm flying back there in 2 weeks to try again, then we'll see if one of your favorite wineries is in my very near future!!
Nikki: Actually, my niece and I wanted to go to Paradiso Perduto, since Mario Batali on the food network recommended it. We got there and found they are only open Thurs-Sun, so we trudged on and found the Lush shop. Once we were done at Lush, we asked the gal where we could stop for lunch, and she actually led us out of the store, down the street, and to Trattoria Ca D'Oro! Very sweet.
Uggggh now I'm getting jealous of everyone as I read these posts of upcoming trips!

Hi Pam,
Another recommendation for Al Covo. I had a wonderful dinner there and even went for the desert. The owners, husband Venician, wife Texan, met at one of the Houston hotels and decided to open their own restaurant in Venice. She is a pastry chef and her deserts are to die for!
Buon viaggio!
