Witch are the best restaurants in Venice?
 
I reserve this hotel HOTEL ANTICHE FIGURE for me and my wife, this hotel is right on the water and I think you need to take the boat to go in or out from it, I find that very cool and very romantic....
My question for you travelers is... Witch are the best restaurants to go in Venice?

Our favorite is al Paradiso in calle Paradiso, it is about 10-15 mins walk from your hotel. Excellent seafood. My favorite is the polenta with black ink and seafood. The seabass in carrot cream is excellent. Same room for desserts, they have a lot of delicious sweets.

Have a great time. You can't get anymore romantic than Venice!

You can certainly arrive at your hotel by boat if you are willing to pay for expensive private water taxis or gondolas. Hotel Antiche Figure is on a canal, but also has a door to the land. You will be able to walk out the door and wander the streets on foot as well as riding in boats. It is a well considered hotel directly across the Grand Canal from the train station and the water bus stops there. If you have a Grand Canal view, you'll have an excellent viewpoint of how traffic works in a city of boats. If you will arrive in Venice by bus or train, then it is relatively quick and easy to walk from the station to your hotel--no need for a boat of any kind. If arriving at the airport, a private water taxi might be a nice touch. If you want a romantic quiet gondola ride, this is best done on the small canals removed from this area.

Do you have a budget for how much you are willing to pay for your "best" meal?

HMG,

The correct name of the restaurant is al Paradiso on Calle del Paradiso just below the Rialto bridge in the San Polo district. sorry for the confusing post.
