    So fun to wander Venice's famous colorful open market, with its fresh seafood, butchers, and stalls…read morefilled with local seasonal produce and pasta. While some might disparage Mercato di Rialto as touristy, when my husband and I visited in June 2025, we were surprisingly just amongst a small handful of non-Italians. In fact, most of the shoppers were locals, and it's a great place to practice one's Italian and potentially, a photographer's paradise. If we ever return to the region and have a kitchen at our disposal, I'd love to take advantage of the beautiful heirloom tomatoes, artichokes, chicory, figs, artichokes, and seafood (fresh scallops! cuttlefish ink!)

    Mercato di Rialto, or the Rialto Market, is the oldest market in Venice. During Venice's golden…read moreage, merchants brought exotic goods from Asia and Africa to Rialto, making it one of the most important trading posts in Europe during its' prime. The Rialto Bridge is located by the Grand Canal and it is now still a part of Venice's daily life. Chefs and locals come here to purchase fresh quality products from the fish market, fruit and vegetable markets, and there's nearby shops for butchers and bakers too. It has been a commercial heart of the city for nearly a millennium. Unfortunately for us... they are closed on Sundays. We came before 9am and were so surprised about how empty the area was. I watched many YouTube videos recommending to come early, so I was surprised not to see many vendors out. There were a few stands for fruits and spices but it was so bare... I didn't know until afterrrrrr that they are closed Sunday. There was no other day where we were available to come over in the morning, but if I knew I would have saved time and avoided making the trek to this area.

    This is a small restaurant in the Piazza Duomo area. We were a large group of seven and ordered…read moretwo plates each and shared some desserts. The servers were good although we had a flag them down a couple of times to get more wine. The food servings are presented very artfully and are on the small side. See my pictures of the food. I would recommend this place.

    Disappointing and over salted.Wow,I'm sad to say this. We…read morehad hoped for a great meal based on reviews on TripAdvisor.It was not to be. Highlight was a great waiter and good local wine recommendation.Lowlight was the meal.They have a 5 course tasting for 75euros ,either meat or fish....or a la carte.But the whole table has to order the same 5 course menu so if one person likes seafood and the other meat,tough luck...you have to go with the same menu (so that preparation arrives at the same time)..so we went a la carte. The seafood was overall off putting and consistently heavily salted.other then the great crust on the ahi,I'd have rather eaten a pizza anywhere else in hindsight that night:( My lamb was cooked well but was accompanied with a whole wheat polenta that was like eating a sandy spoonful and was off putting.No interest in dessert after what I would rate as the biggest dissapointment meal of the year.Sad but true.Bright side was by going a la carte we didn't waste an additional 50.
