Where to Eat (and where not to eat)
Unless you like to snack throughout the day, you can pretty much calculate that during a 2-day city trip you will need 4 meals: 2 lunches and 2 dinners. This is assuming that you have breakfast included with your hotel. Whether Osteria, Trattoria or Pizzeria, there are plenty of places to choose from.
Considering that Italy is pretty much one big restaurant, there’s never any difficulty finding somewhere to eat. In our experience, the overall quality is generally good to very good. Of all countries in the world, for us a trip to Italy is all about eating, and eating well (we’ll deal with the calories afterwards). In Venice, however, we found we needed to be on our guard to avoid paying way over the odds when choosing a place to indulge.
Before going to Venice, we spent some time online checking out restaurants and cafes that suited our taste and budget. For lunch for 2, with wine included, we were prepared to pay somewhere in the €30-40 range. For dinner, our budget was in the €70-100 range. These prices are marginally more than we would pay at home (which incidentally is also a holiday destination). However, this is Venice, after all – and possibly the most over-priced city in Italy.
