I got a slice of chocolate cake and enjoyed every last bite. Nothing in Viziovirtu tasted too sweet. Didn't try the gelato, but the cake would have paired well with a scoop of something cold.

That said, it's totally a chain, not some privately owned, led-by-an-artisan, locally famous paradise. My mother and I munched on chocolate and plain croissants. It was 8:00 on a Saturday, well before the town woke up, and the staff were already girding for an intense day, which bled over into the ambiance. Fun fact: I learned here that a pain au chocolat and a "chocolate croissant" aren't necessarily the same thing! The latter is a chocolate cream inside a plain croissant, not dissimilar from something you'd eat in a donut.

There was a bit wait, but the staff was efficient. I ordered a chocolate and yogurt and both was very tasty. I also added a chocolate cone with nuts and it was 5.20 €.

I expected the chocolate and almond pastry to have light buttery layers with a center of chocolate and almonds. Instead it was really quite dry; almost like they had been sitting out for a few days and turned stale. The shop itself has a classic old word feel to it and the man at the counter was polite. Perhaps it was just an off day for the pastries. But they definitely looked better than they tasted.

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!)

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.
