TO DO
HOTELS
Food
There are so many and most of the time the service is quite nice. I would recommend Da Raffaele (very good and nice people) (try fegato alla veneziana), Ai Assasini (gourmet but small portions including for the wine), L’Ombra Del Leone (on the canal, nice terrasse, veal milanese delicious and big), Lineadombra (on the canal, rather chic, some Wine at 35.000 euros, rather good). I would also mention: Al Covino, Osteria Giorgione da Masa, Trattoria da Jonny and Trattoria da Remigio. If you want to try a japanese restaurant go to Koenji (no air conditionning) (solid food)..
BURANO
If you go there for the charming and coulourful houses or after a visit to Murano go to Trattoria da Romano (excellent) (try linguine alle vongole).
TORCELLO
Not far from Burano and the church is famous for its mosaiques (pictures not allowed!).
Drinks
Go to the Gritti for a Martini Dry or to The Caravelle for the fun and the drinks.
GLASSES
Go absolutely to Murano and visit BERENGO workshop. Nice atmosphere and beautiful artistic realisations. Collaboration with many artist like AI Weiwei, Wurm, Christine Kelle, Arne Quinze… Arte TV made a story about them recently. Buy !
SHOPPING
Go to Fondaco dei Tedeschi. So many brands on five floors and a nice view from the terrace (need reservation).
