If you’re looking for a more modern setting with the same beautiful view of the Grand Canal, we recommend\u00a0this boutique bed and breakfast. We’re in love with their beautifully designed and romantic “secret garden” tucked\u00a0away from the touristy bustle of Venice.<\/p>\n

This cozy restaurant only seats about 20 people, and the menu varies to offer the freshest seafood possible. So what are you waiting for? Book a reservation while you still can and prepare yourself for an unforgettable experience.<\/p>\n

Cross two things off your Venice to-do list with a trip to this ristorante<\/em>: Italian pizza\u00a0and canal-side dining. And don’t worry — if you’re not in the mood for pizza, there are other options on the menu that are just as delicious.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Boutique del Gelato<\/a><\/p>\n
